Widow of a CHECHEN extremist Norway made the mistake of taking in. She targeted the police (bit of a recurring theme) in the main tourist district with the greatest concentration of historic buildings. Now tourism is really important to Turkey, and though fellow Muslims might not weigh that much in the balance for ISIS, you would think they wouldn't go out of their way to punish Turkey for having weak borders they depend on strategically.

From the very good article: "Specialist Russian website Kavkaski Uzel (Caucasian Knot) said that Istanbul had become a popular refuge for radically-minded Muslims from the Caucasus who were now fearing a crackdown on their presence."

Erdogan is an idiot. He's made his choice and I hope it costs him millions in tourist dollars.

Turkey was a place I loved to visit, but now I will never go back and will urge my friends to stay away too.

Oh ptthhhhhh!!!!! I can’t copy paste on my tablet (at least I haven’t figured out how). Frankly I’m surprised autocorrect didn’t turn it into something even stranger!

Oh, sorry. I would not have made fun of you if I had known that you had typed it in on your tablet. I figured you had C&Pd, and I thought I was cracking on the author.

All the same I’m a little mystified by the lack of autocorrect which is usually good for a laugh!

Oh, yes, I have seen Autocorrect produce some interesting results.

Can you highlight on your tablet? If so, can you highlight what you want to copy and then do “ctrl” + “c” to copy something and then do “ctrl” + “v” to insert it where you need it?

I operate with a laptop, and I don’t even have a smart phone, and I can’t really claim any tech knowledge, so forgive me if I am asking you a stupid question.

PS: Glad you’re not insulted by my original post.
