I can recall the attempt on Pope John Paul ii, I even recall the picture and the name of this guy


The assassin was one Mehmet Ali Agca, a longtime member of the Gray Wolves.

He had a track record (https://www.nytimes.com/1981/05/25/world/trail-of-mehmet-ali-agca-6-years-of-neofascist-ties.html?pagewanted=all) of killing leftists and other enemies on behalf of the “Idealists” (seriously, that’s what the Wolves call themselves):
“The weapon used in the Feb. 1, 1979, murder of a Turkish newspaper editor, Abdi Ipekci, for which Mr. Agca was convicted, was supplied by a member of the Idealist Clubs, according to the Turkish authorities. Other members helped Mr. Agca escape from prison. Still others prepared a false passport for him. And on the day of the killing, he went to the National Action Party offices.”
Note the familiar pattern: Ali Agca kills a leftist editor who’s annoying the Turkish state, gets caught, and manages to escape with a lot of help from Turkish intelligence.

Who are the Grey Wolves and why is France banning them?

France has passed a decree outlawing the far-right Grey Wolves,

but Turkey has said no such organisation exists

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Liam Neeson
