That one particular attack was suspect, but the dozens of others were political in nature, or a war if you will between Turks and Kurds. Although that is a simplification, again its not about religion. And more to the point for this thread, it was not about Bodrum. And even more to the point, none of these attacks were targeting foreign tourists.
