In reply to Mjolnir. The Anzacs invaded Turkey (Chruchill told them to). Ataturk's response was extraordinarily generous. Those morons making threats should read about what actually happened.

In recent years, Anzac Day has more and more an expression of nationalistic sentiment, popular with New Zealanders who can’t cope with Waitangi Day.

In reply to Ngungukai. I can't imagine what your grandfather must have endured, Ngungukai. But I can comprehend that, for him, a god could not possibly exist. Not after the slaughter fields of World War One.

A lot of RWNJ’s understand little about world history and are ideologically driven IMHO ?

My grandfather was busted up on Chunnuk Bair in the Gallipoli Campaign and was invalided back to hospital in London. He had already lost one of his brothers in France, and subsequently lost another brother who was a in the Irish Guards in the last weeks of WW1. He worked in the War Office in London until the end of WW1.

After what he went through, he proclaimed “There is no God?”

Funny ole world isn’t it, Turkey shows more Christian compassion than some so-called “christians” in our own supposedly “christian” society

What did Anzacs fight for? Freedom, right? But not freedom for a muslim to recite a short prayer at an Anzac ceremony

I wonder what theyd think??
