Ottoman reformists who opposed the Sultan and went into exile in the 1880s, carrying on their radical activism from the safety of European capitals like Paris, called themselves "Young Turks" after the example of the "Young Italy" movement. The name long predates the CUP (Committee of Union and Progress) regime that later carried out the Armenian genocide. That doesnt sound all too different from its not a swastika, its a kanji. Well, at least you know that a kanji isn't a swastika. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of "young Turk": "an insurgent or a member of an insurgent group especially in a political party broadly : one advocating changes within a usually established group". Take it up with the publisher if you're not happy about the term having multiple meanings. The name's not inflammatory by itself. It's about context. If you've got other grounds for believing it's something more than innocent wordplay, fine. --- Badwired <cite>Firewerx posted [p:926460787] in The Young ...
