    Burning down museums won't help them. This is nothing to be proud of.

    sure isnt , and attacking BDP offices in Istanbul wont help Turks either , its not something one can be proud of . this is just a counter reaction to what some Turks did to BDP buildings .

    They didn't burn down the building, all they have done was to hang a huge Turkish flag on the building. Nothing more.

    attack is attack , they also destroyed all the equipments inside the building you forgot to mention that one, and what they did was a humiliation and should have expected revenge . and i am sure if there was a museum of some Kurdish leader [not that Turks will ever allow it] they would have burnt it down too ;). you should know Ataturk does not represent Kurds matter fact he says there is no such thing so the first thing naturally to be attacked by Kurds is picture statue or what ever that has something to do with him .

    I'm not going to try to justify this one like you do to other, I condemn the attack, however seems like they got provoked after seeing a pro-PKK graffiti on a mosque. Pretty much explains why.

    The Consultative Council of Turks in the Netherlands said it was contacted by the demonstrators but the council distanced itself from the riots and said that demonstrations against the PKK should be peaceful. The council also said it is trying to bring Turkish and Kurdish organizations together to prevent confrontations in the Netherlands.

    From rudaw:
    "...In addition to the violent protest, which drew several hundred Turks, a mosque in Arnhem, near the German border, was set alight. Pro-graffiti Kurdistan WorkersÂ’ Party (PKK) grafitti was sprayed on the walls of the mosque and the head of a Kurdish centre in Arnhem has received threats in Turkish. "
