ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey warned its citizens on Saturday against "possible Islamophobic, xenophobic and racist attacks" in the United States and Europe after its Western allies cautioned their citizens in Turkey about possible terror attacks.
In two separate travel advisories, the Turkish foreign ministry recommended its citizens in the United States and European countries "act calmly in the face of possible xenophobic and racist harassment and attacks" and to "stay away from areas where demonstrations may intensify."
Recent increases in "anti-Islam and racist acts" reflect the dangerous dimensions of religious intolerance and hatred in Europe, the ministry said.
Several embassies in Ankara including those of the United States, Germany, France and Italy on Friday released security alerts for their citizens in Turkey that flagged "possible retaliatory attacks by terrorists against places of worship."

(55,137 posts)think twice before traveling and even considering moving here. Forget threats and "possible Islamophobic, xenophobic and racist attacks". Look out for white men in general. They seem to pick and choose their victims based on shit other than that. Any excuse to shoot any people, anywhere seems to be their only "reasoning".

As to "white men in general" the FBI does track homicides by race, %-wise white men are not the top offenders:
