A man has been shot dead by his friend because he paid the restaurant bill in Istanbul, according to Turkish media reports.

Hasan Erdemir and İdris Alakuş allegedly argued over who would pay the bill after the men had soup in the restaurant .

Mr Alakuş had been in the restaurant when Mr Erdemir entered with two friends and was soon invited to join Mr Alakuş and his friend, Savcı Karabulut before the attack, it was reported.

Wanting to leave the restaurant, Mr Alakuş allegedly asked for the bill but found out that Mr Erdemir had paid the bill. The two men then argued and Mr Alakuş left the restaurant infuriated,

It was claimed Mr Alakuş returned to the restaurant with a gun and shot Mr Erdemir as well as the man's two friends. The two friends were hurt but were in a non live-threatening condition, local media reported on Monday.

After the shooting, waiters rushed to helped the seriously injured but despite medical assistance, Mr Erdemir died in hospital.

Social etiquette taken to the extreme :O(

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I do not have an account for face book, Viber, instagrem etc., and I am not interested. Also I do not have the talent to communicate rapidly and make debate on a public environment with my limited global knowledge and lack of efficiency in English knowledge.

However I do read some online news specifically related to my country and the region. I found many unnecessary news on that, many news were reported from all the corners which are looked very isolated and can be belonged to some uneducated or mentally distorted people.

It seems there is lot of fun and joy for the people who reported those news online and may be the readers are widely accepting this and enjoying reading this through their mobile and different apps. However I personally do not transform or share this in another site to make joy for myself as I feel the news is useless and it does not give any good idea.

I learnt in my faith that, If a world exist with only good people, the god will re arrange the world with people who make mistakes. The humans are with the tempted tendency of making sin, & the God prefers human to make confession from God to clear human’s misdeed and mistakes.

This act of human will make a human a gentleman and a classy person as long as human admits his made mistakes and becoming a normal person who think generally all human and nature should be respected.

Over all I have no objection for any party on this forum as it’s their point of view. My point of view is above and I believe thinking good will make things good. Today I have a special duty in my office which gave the time to post this message and I have no intention to heart or harm anyone through my post, if such felt I have not directed this to any individual and it’s my general view only.

Thank you and wish everyone a great week end.

I cant see anything wrong in his posts, there is nothing unislamic. If you cant stand the posts here better stay away. And for God's sake don't dictate who posts what.

And next time he posts such a topic , I will bring all this stuff again so that no body talks about the topic and I hijack the topic.

This is a seroius issue. This fellow & several others have a hidden agenda. They utilize the best opportunity to defame the Muslims. Several of his post is example. I dont want to quote his post...because i will be then advertising for his dumb posts. It is shame to bring isolated incidents to breed hatred in the mind of the common people and insult the Arab culture and Muslims.

Donot Post anything to defame the Muslims. Simple that.

I anyone didnt understand this, they better understand this.

Khan should learn to respect the views of others. When he cant counter arguments he starts labeling others. It is a sign of being less educated and ignorant. This bullying tactic wont work. It is for the moderators of this group to decide about the posts.

Guys, can we stick to topic :)

Any one person's antics or comments do not defame his/her religion. If a person wants to know about any religion other than what he/she follows, he/she should not look at people following the religion rather check the religious scriptures.

Khan - Using the term "kafir" is derogatory. So please abstain from doing so.

Âdam is the first prophet on Earth in Islam.[1] Adam's has role as the father of the whole human race. Muslims see Adam as the first Muslim.

Islam means submission to God & Muslim means those who submitted to God.

Your statement Arabs existed before Islam already is completely nonsense. I say nonsense. Your ignorance is the problem.

Arab culture and Islam are two different things. Arabs existed before Islam already. And Indonesia is the largest Muslim country with about 300 million, and Arabs are a small minority.

By KHAN.• 27 Apr 2016 12:33

Yes, donot defame anybody.

It is shame to bring isolated incidents to breed hatred in the mind of the common people and insult the Arab culture and Muslims. See his list of Post and one will understand.

Maybe you could abstain from posting ANYTHING defaming no matter what the topic is. That would be a good (Islamic) move and attitude.

Brit, once you told me not to argue with idiots. Why don't you follow your own suggestion?

By britexpat• 27 Apr 2016 12:19

So in your opinion, the newspapers should not print anything about Muslims who have committed a crime or done anything wrong

is hat what you're saying.. We should only print bad stories about The Kuffar!

Well done ...brit.

When is your Next Post to defame the Muslims.

The Kaafir doesnot spare any attempt to insult the Muslim.

And the Kaafir enter Muslim country (They already entered Yemen and started Killing Muslims using Drones).

That Kaafir Country...the United States

// most Asians will feel it an insult "to go dutch"//

very true. However I prefer ''to go Greek''

By shuaibh• 27 Apr 2016 09:51

Most people who fight to pay the bill or usually foot the bill are not show off's. To them people are more important than money.

By britexpat• 27 Apr 2016 09:39

On a serious note - this does highlight cultural aspects.

For example, most Asians will feel it an insult "to go dutch".. Others will lose face if they are not allowd to pay...

Mr Alakus was so serious , may be his friend never felt it before .............. other wise this situation would have never come ................ may be the friend did pay the bill purposely to provocate Mr Alakus ......
