Meanwhile, In Another Part of the Muslim World . . .
by Jason Gots
This piece isn’t about me, but I should say up front that there’s a personal connection: Turkey is my wife’s homeland, and in the 12+ years since we married, I’ve come to care a great deal about her country — its history (ancient and recent) and its future. About a month ago, out of the blue, I was invited to attend and write about an innovation conference in Istanbul. I never found out why me, specifically, aside from the fact that Big Think often covers tech innovation; in my 3+ years here, no one on my editorial team has ever been flown anywhere to cover anything.

Don't Hide From Istanbul

ISIS hit Istanbul with a deadly blow today, but avoiding the city only cripples it further.
A deadly suicide blast hit Istanbul’s main tourist district today, killing 10 and injuring 15 in Sultanahmet Square, at a time when post-Paris, post-Brussels, and post-Beirut, it's the last thing we want to hear. Responses from world leaders—and a resurgence of fear about the safety of travel—have all been swift. German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out in Berlin about the attack and its victims, the majority of whom were German: "Today Istanbul was hit; Paris has been hit, Tunisia has been hit, Ankara has been hit before," she said. "International terrorism is once again showing its cruel and inhuman face today."
