Oh, "the Europe" ! Let's check out sir...
You mean this, "250 Whales Slaughtered" ???

Maybe this, "Zoophilia" ???
In Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Romania..this is legal (according to Wikipedia, you can check).

Try another one, "Greece poisons cats, animal abuses in Netherlands, stray dog massacres in Romania"

Still not convinced... "European Pet Trade Story"

Yeah, yeah; "animal rights in Europe". I see.

Besides, I respect your thoughts. You write, I read. That's ok. However you're explicitly saying, "that horrible country". That "horrible" country is my homeland sir. Your words are so offending. I am fully aware of things going on here. Unfortunately, lot of bad things happened. I can assure you ! You know nothing, but we are living here.
Further, I am not claiming that my country is the best one in the means of human/animal rights. But you cannot say "that horrible" country. There are millions of good people living in this land. I'm sure Morrissey loved those kind of people. Not radicals. Some people may "belong to Middle East" (due their apperances or religious believes), but it does not mean that they are "creatures". They are also human beings. Human lives really matters.
Don't you ever forget
this,
none of those "innocent" (excluding all those radicals, masters of war, terrorists, etc.)
Middle East citizens are creatures.
No matter where they live in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria or else. No ! They are all human beings. Just like YOU.
If a person is not involving in terrorism, that's ok. An innocent Syrian, an innocent Turkish, an innocent Israeli.. No difference. People are people. Radicals and other blood thirsty demons are repetitively killing dozens of Muslims each week. In Iraq and Syria. They are killing innocent people. Have you heard about Syrian refugees ? People trying to leave their beloved country due to terrorism and civil wars ? Drowned boy, "Alan Kurdi" ? An innocent boy. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I pray for him. I pray for the French baby killed in Nice. I pray for humanity.
You know why ?
I just believe in humanity, not nations and flags.
You may say that I'm overreacting but I will absolutely say no. No. Maybe you are not aware of things but these kinds of self-rightous words ("horrible country", "that Middle Eastern people", "that Muslims", "that THAT") really hurts us. Numerous of people in Turkey, Iraq and Syria are willing to be a full-time world citizens. Accepting the terms of Free World. Democracy, human rights. I believe in democracy. I believe in both human and animal rights. Maybe you don't believe my words, but yes, truly yes, thousands of people are trying to change this system in Middle East. People are trying. But some people (don't get me wrong sir I am talking about people in general) are still trying to label them. "You are Iraqi, Turkish, so you do not belong to Europe." Why ? Because of our religious believes or our skin colors ? Who can judge this ? We all see, there can be some European Christian or atheist murderers, terrorists, Neo-Nazis who almost have spend their lives in Europe. But they can also murder people. So how can you explain this ?
Last but not least, in Middle East, there is a saying, "shalom aleichem (Hebrew version)" or "as-salamu alaykum (Arabic version), which means, "Peace be upon you". It is so nice.
Peace be upon you, sir.
I did not mean to offend you or anyone else. Really. Just wanted to express myself. If you feel bad because of my words, I am trully sorry. And I mean it. I just want to break down the prejudices.
Sincerely,
GG.
