So it turns out that the terrorists who blew up the airport in Turkey are all former USSR. Two of them are from Russia. And after talking on the phone to Erdogan after the explosion, Putin announced to Russians that it was now safe to travel to Turkey and removed the prohibition on selling package trips to Turkey. Because nothing makes a country safer for vacationers than an act of terror perpetrated by their compatriots.

This demonstrates the utility of having ISIS as an existential enemy. On Sunday, the gay pride parade is occurring in downtown Toronto and is being done in memory of the Orlando victims. The Prime Minister will present and the security will be huge. Radical Islamist websites have said that it will be a great opportunity to kill “kafir sodomites.”

Here’s an interesting article in the Atlantic about “The World’s Most Efficient Languages.”
Quote:
“In a Native American language of California called Atsugewi (now extinct), if a tree was burned and we found the ashes in a creek afterward, we would have said that soot w’oqhputíc’ta into the creek. W’oqhputíc’ta is a conglomeration of bits that mean “it moved like dirt, in a falling fashion, into liquid, and for real.” In English, we would just say “flowed.” “

ISIS is now a very convenient way to hide all sorts of dirty dealings. Nobody is even noticing that all of the terrorists in Istanbul were post-Soviet because when people hear “ISIS”, they don’t listen to anything else. 😦
