Wanted to let everyone know that the messages have been translated, thanks
to ARiF UYSAL for doing that.

It turns out that the author misinterpretted what apo.org stood for.
Instead of looking up our InterNIC registry or visiting our website to
discover that we are Alpha Phi Omega; the author assumed that we were a
site in support of Abdullah Ocalan, the Kurdish leader captured/arrested
(depending on your viewpoint) at the Greek embassy in Kenya on Monday.  A
common nickname for Abdullah is Apo.  So this is the same as assuming
http://www.matt.org/ would be a website devoted to Matthew McConaughey.

So I responded to that person to inform them of their misconception, and am
assuming that that should lay the matter to rest.
