For a century, we have been waiting for hitting you with Turkish slap. We dare you to unite all of your armies consisting of faggots and gays under the name of ‘homosexual crusader army’ and send them to us.” With these remarks, the newspaper uses LGBTI identity as a reason for insult and contempt.

Murat Bardakçı, in his column titled “Giaour is just being giaour!”, writes: “Giaour is just being giaour! And this is not something new, it is their tradition for centuries!” With this remark and the title, he reinforces the perception of enmity against non-Muslims in Turkey with the word giaour, which is used as an expression of hatred and insult against non-Muslims.

Furthermore, under the title of “REMEMBER THE DANCES IN GERMANY”, Bardakçı asks, “Do you remember the celebrations in front of the parliament building in Berlin right after the text that defines 1915 events as 'genocide' was passed?” In response to this question, he writes: “Armenians raised their red, blue and orange flags and danced with slogans and songs. And Greeks came with great eagerness with their blue-white flags with a cross on it and started to dance along! Apostol and Helen stood with Agop and Takuhi on this happy occasion and confirmed the saying 'Blasphemers constitute a single nation'...” With these remarks, he labels Armenians and Greeks as “elements of threat” and incites enmity between peoples.
