Thanks for posting.
Isn't the first one photoshopped?
That's because Morrissey's observation is accurate. The person who made the ignorant comment was the interviewer, Ali Tufan Koç.:
A: I'm feeding animals in shelters, I advocate animal rights, I live "green" but I'm eating steak for dinner. Is this acceptable ?
WHAT AN IDIOT Ali Tufan Koç.!
I like the Nazi comments. Perfect timing as he heads to shows in Germany. Maybe some Nazi kickball fan will say something to him to make him walk off.

How so? It is one of the things I, out of ignorance, quite don't get from vegetarianism. So if the cow drops dead and I eat it, I am a nazi? The whole MiM video is about how animals are treated, not about eating them. Both things are, at least theoretically, independent. I can't agree with animal mistreatment and other modern horrors, but the whole animal kingdom is largely based on eating each other, and not precisely in the most gentle way...
Guess this must have been discussed ad nauseam, so apologies.
... but not in practice. The hint for MiM is in the title of the song.The whole MiM video is about how animals are treated, not about eating them. Both things are, at least theoretically, independent.
Regarding the song Istanbul, I can't really get what he says (spoken words) at the begging and at the end of the song. Does anybody know?
... But it's nice to hear the background of "Istanbul" because most of his Turkish fans believe that he wrote that song in the memory of young people who lost their lives during 2013 Gezi Protests. Why ? Just because of "brown-eyed son" ?! I really don't understand it.
Peanut is right. It's called azan/adhan (we use "ezan" in Turkish) and it's simply a call to prayer. In that excerpt he said "allahu akbar" which means God is almighty and the One.Regarding the song Istanbul, I can't really get what he says (spoken words) at the begging and at the end of the song.

I understand but, if it wasn't murder, would it be ok? I don't think so, according to Moz. So that is what has always confused me.
The whole argument is don't eat because you promote mistreatment. I would understand a crusade against modern farming etc. Eating meat or not is a personal option. Mixing the two based on love for animals (I guess that puts humans on a higher level, since we can decide, therefore it's not love, it's compassion?) is manipulation that resembles that of our politicians - so explicitly challenged in WPINOYB (and I'd be the last to argue against).
Anyhow.i don't think the question was so stupid.
