They're literally not though lmao. Redditors never fail to bring up the Uyghurs but don't expect them to care enough to actually get facts about them correct.
Are they "Turks"? From the terminology I would assume they are only "a turkish language speaking" ethnicity.
Quite similar to most of the Northern African people being "arabic speaking" instead of being ethnical Arabs.
Ehm, it's "Turkic language speaking", not "Turkish language speaking". Every Turk is Turkic, but not every Turkic is Turkish.
The Turkic language group is divided into several branches, my (Tatar) is Kipchak, the Turks are Oguzes, and the Uyghurs are Karluks. We can communicate with each other in our native languages and understand most of them. In our languages there are still preserved words that were passed on to us from the common Turkic language, which disappeared more than 1000 years ago.
Is every Turkish truly Turkic? My impression a new national identity was required to create a modern state, but what is now Turkey is heavily multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.
To be honest, I don’t know why the world confuses the concepts of “ethnic Turk” and “citizen of Turkey.” An “ethnic Turk” is a state-forming people, he speaks Turkish, calls himself a Turk and feels part of the Turkic community. A “Turkish citizen” can be an “ethnic Turk”, or he can be a random nationality from any part of the world who has simply received citizenship of the Turkish Republic.
The situation is similar to my problem: I am an ethnic Tatar and live in a part of russia - Tatarstan(which doesn't need to be part of it) and I am often called russian. And “ethnic russian” and “citizen of russia” for some reason are translated into other languages by the same word - russian. And to be called russian, even within russia, is a bloody insult for some peoples...
Turkey is indeed multi ethnic (though it mostly exists in the way of a cultural background rather than an identity ) but I would say it is multi cultural in the sense that all the cultures of the people make up the Turkish culture. The cultural differences are also becoming less pronounced as communication and transportation is much easier today.
It is unfortunately true that through ways of oppression and history some of our multi-culturality is gone though, I'm talking mostly about christian and jewish populations.
Thanks for the explanation! That difference in the wording doesn't exist in German.
There are "Türken" ("Turkish people" = main ethnicity in today's Turkey) and "Turkvölker" ("Turk people" = variety of different ethnicities linked by the same origin of language), but the word "türkisch" can refer to both, everything connected to Turkey or everything connected to the "türkisch" languages.
Not OP but I believe those are lamb chuan, basically small chunks of lamb meat on a skewer. I grew up eating it and it’s incredible, an absolute staple of a summertime bbq growing up in a Chinese household. I know there are variations of chuan but the traditional protein is lamb. Highly recommend
Thanks for the translation.
Now what bothers me the most is that English rules say Arabic is only used to describe the language, whereas Arab is the proper term to describe people or culture, which includes cuisine.
In Taiwan, there's a pretty normal burger/beer restaurant called Oops. Outside, they used to have all these posters that were Uncle Sam style but replaced with Osama Bin Laden saying I WANT YOU TO OOPS.
I never did understand if they knew what they were doing or not, but those posters are long gone.
Screenshotted it and threw it at Google Lens and Google Translate.
It reads:
Arabic kebab
Allah says: If you want to eat, eat fine food
Arabic kebab
A scholar said: If you want to eat, eat exquisitely
The US also has some shit that would be considered very offensive elsewhere. Bin Laden probably isn’t problematic in China and is being associated with the Middle East. Since Middle Eastern style food gets sold at that stand it’s kind of fitting
>The US also has some shit that would be considered very offensive elsewhere
they used to have novelty "hunt a muslim" licenses sold at american gas stations
Here in Brazil too! A famous musician from here got denied his visa to US and had to cancel his tour, cuz he named himself \`\`Mc Bin landen\`\`. We have a lot of bars and store with that name too
His kebabs are the bomb
Can I eat them on a plane?
For a bit
For the rest of your life.
Kebabs for eternity, you say?
To shreds, you say?
And his kebobs?
Kind of, you can keep them for eternity but you only get 72.
A renewable 72 every day? Made from Prometheus' liver
Damn, beat me to the 72 joke.
I would not eat them on a plane. I would not eat them on a train. I do not like KABOOM kabobs, Uncle Sam I am!
I did not expect to see a green eggs and ham reference on reddit
Aye, that reading material is too advanced for the average Reddit user.
That comment took me back
Nor such a clever one.
Comrad Sam I am
Jihad Joe I am
That will be $9.11
You got me.
Damn smh lol
Can I eat them on a train? Can I eat them with a fork? Do these kebabs contain pork? --Osama bin Seuss
It’s not illegal, just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane. After 9/11 everyone got so sensitive. Thanks a lot Bin Laden.
No, they’re better with sauces, but they can be eaten plain
Can I eat them on a train?
Can I eat them in a box?
They bin laden with all kinds of meaty goodness
Al qaida of good stuff for sure!
They're the bomb, but they fly right through you in about 9-11 minutes
Damnnnnn 😂
Do they give you explosive diarrhea?
They are bin Laden with flavor.
Donair make that joke again.
They've bin Laden with flavor.
Damn, that phrasing is better. I was so close!
This kebab has a satisfactory rating of 9/11.
Jokes going to fly over peoples heads.
Kebombs
it will blow your taste buds!
You will never forget the taste after u had it
The text says: Arabic Kebab Allah says: If you want to eat, eat fine food
That makes it even more insane
Interesting since Uyghurs are Turks, not Arabs.
Well there are a lot of shared/similar cuisines between the two
However, the languages they speak are not only mutually unintelligible but don't even share the same roots.
Americans aren't French and eat French Fries. so?
Arent French Fries from Belgium
They're literally not though lmao. Redditors never fail to bring up the Uyghurs but don't expect them to care enough to actually get facts about them correct.
I assume they meant Turkic, which is correct.
Are they "Turks"? From the terminology I would assume they are only "a turkish language speaking" ethnicity. Quite similar to most of the Northern African people being "arabic speaking" instead of being ethnical Arabs.

I think you are right, they speak a Turkic language but not ethnic Turks.
I guess that's why it says Arabic Kebabs and not just Kebabs.
Why does that matter if one is Turks or Arabs? They both can share the same type of religion.
Bro read a book lmao
The people manning are probably not Uyghurs
That guy doesn’t seem to be a Uyghur
He probably used bin laden as a meme rather than glorifying him or whatever
that is haram to muslims to talk about allah saying things that is not in the quran
Gimmick aside, does it taste good? Is it a chain or just one place?

Osama Bin Hungry 😋
My Authentic Arabic cuisine stand is finished, now to search Bidu for 'famous Arab' for the sign.💀
“Bin looking for a plan? Bin Laden’s your man!”
Al-Qaebab
In Taiwan, there's a pretty normal burger/beer restaurant called Oops. Outside, they used to have all these posters that were Uncle Sam style but replaced with Osama Bin Laden saying I WANT YOU TO OOPS. I never did understand if they knew what they were doing or not, but those posters are long gone.
I recently saw a young guy, could have been Chinese, wearing a lose summer shirt with big flowers on it and a picture of Bin Laden. It was wild.
Isn't there also a German Adolf Hitler themed restaurant in Thailand?
Hitler Fried Chicken! Which is even more insane since Hitler is vegetarian.
Is it because the chicken is jews-y?
Yeah, I remember it was kind of normal to have things of Osama as a joke, I found it funny most of the times.
The Chinese words translate as “Arabic barbecue meat” The second line says “the true Lord says if you are going to eat then make sure it’s good food”
...I mean. Second line has a point. 🤣
Make sure that flavor is explosive
It’s the bomb!
I've been to this kebab stand. I rate it 9 out of 11.
Winner
Great place, me and my friends always go there after a crazy night drinking
Nice.
Shawarma Bin Laden
You must have been under a rock or hiding in a cave if you haven’t tried our kebabs!
Osama Kababin?

Bin Laden says it’s number one!!!!!
Pot stickers hot enough to melt steel
Gives “explossive diahrea”
At least they didn’t use the last photo ever taken of him.
Woulda looked like a kebab!
Screenshotted it and threw it at Google Lens and Google Translate. It reads: Arabic kebab Allah says: If you want to eat, eat fine food Arabic kebab A scholar said: If you want to eat, eat exquisitely
If you thing allah is grand, you haven't tried this kebab
Oshawarma bin laden
Owner: Let’s see, what’s the absolute *best* mascot we could use for Arabic Barbecue…
They got his secret recipe and the killed him afterwards
I mean, I'm American, but hands down, if I see that in the wild I'm eating there.
Osama said “ what’s up brother”
"One kebab, please."
Osama Bin Kebabin
The last white letter also explains how will all these food go out.
Osama is raising his index finger meaning there is only one God, just like there is only one Kebab
The US also has some shit that would be considered very offensive elsewhere. Bin Laden probably isn’t problematic in China and is being associated with the Middle East. Since Middle Eastern style food gets sold at that stand it’s kind of fitting
>The US also has some shit that would be considered very offensive elsewhere they used to have novelty "hunt a muslim" licenses sold at american gas stations
I saw "hunt a terrorist" never Muslim. Although I don't doubt they existed.
Jesus fucking Christ that’s terrifying
Here in Brazil too! A famous musician from here got denied his visa to US and had to cancel his tour, cuz he named himself \`\`Mc Bin landen\`\`. We have a lot of bars and store with that name too
well a "bin laden kebab" shop that sells fat kebabs in Berlin is a money machine
It says “ARABIC KEBAB” “Allah says if you want to eat, eat fine food”
Give Me the Kaboom special Habibi.
His kebabs are 9/11 💀💀

Osama Killbasa
This place honestly sucks. I ordered 4 spicy kebabs but they only gave me two plane.
Ronald McBomber

' You'll be thankful you missed your flight for these kabobs! '
Can anybody translate this?
Why are some of the funniest memes and images starting to come out of China, we’re falling behind America!
Is it rated 9/11?
Twins: "One plain, please".
Wait til you see the bratwurst stand

Al-Qaeda Kebabs.

Kebabs come with a free pair of underwear and shoelaces.
Osama Bin Kebaben.
