On November 15, 2003, two truck bombs slammed into the Beth Israel and Neve Shalom synagogues in Istanbul, Turkey and exploded. The explosions devastated the synagogues and killed twenty-seven people, most of them Turkish Muslims --Shouldn't that be Jews? 74.71.215.198 13:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)Sax
The two suicide bombers also died. Do you think this should be edited out? I mean, if they're suicide bombers I doubt people need to be told they died. Isaiah A. 07:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but when someone thinks of a suicide in general they usually assume they're dead. I think the status of the attacker should only be brought up if they live, since that is the least assumed. Isaiah A. 02:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Can someone justify what this article has to do with the " religion of Islam"? Bless sins 04:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Sakka was convicted of plotting the attacks and giving the militants more than $150,000 (£125,000) to put the plans into action in Istanbul. Unrepentant to the last, he called on his supporters to wage a holy war. “We are close to victory. The time for jihad has come, but don’t worry about me. I will get out, then I will once again join your jihad,” he said shortly before the verdict.
A Syrian, Loai al-Saqa, was jailed for masterminding and securing finance for the attacks on the UK consulate, two synagogues and an HSBC bank branch.…As the verdicts were read out to a packed courtroom, several defendants shouted "God is great".…The court was told that a group of men, calling themselves Warriors for Islam, came together to plan the attacks on the direct orders of Osama Bin Laden.…In court, many of the defendants admitted attending training camps in Afghanistan for Islamic extremists - but all but one man denied any part in the Istanbul attacks.
When the court delivered its verdict, Fevzi Yitiz, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, shouted "Long live hell for the infidels!" while Ertul chanted "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great".

You know just because someone says something about a topic (religion or not) doesn't mean it is correct. (Well, actually it depends on who that someone is) But if I find a crazy source saying that the Sabra-Shatila massacre was inspired by Jewish ritual murder are we obliged to repeat that blood libel?
What I really don't understand is why you are bent upon characterizing Islam as the murder of innocent people? Bless sins 23:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
There is more than evidence in this article to cite that this attack was done by Muslims in the name of Islam. It seems odd that BS could contest this. It is not like this type of incident is rare or unheard of. There is no doubt That Muslims perpetrated this atrocity against a group of people simply due to the fact they were Jewish. I am reverting his whitewash yet again. Prester John -( Talk to the Hand) 00:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Please don't restore the category without discussion here first. Some of my concerns still haven't been answered. Bless sins ( talk) 18:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
This is nothnig to do with antisemitism please keep that idiotic postiion to yourself. I removed a mention of a certain six people unless you're gonig to list every faith involved it seems supremacist to single out 6 people amoungst the dead when hundreds died. — Preceding

What happend then: news from Hürriyet.com.tr. It sayt that som bombers escaped from Ebu Gureyb/Iraq. -- Ilhanli ( talk) 18:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I've removed a section that says Al-qaeda claimed responsibility. The source provided said no such thing and as such the wikipedia article was misleading. The Islamists who carried out the bombings acted independently. Even the provided source said this. Vexorg ( talk) 20:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
