TURKISH JOURNALIST ASKS, " ARE WE THE REAL MURDERERS " REGARDING SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS IN MALATYA


Many of you will have heard the news regarding the April 19th brutal killing of 3 Christians in Malatya, Turkey.

It is alleged that those zealots who did the killing were angered that their victims were distributing bibles and had lead a church service in a local hotel a week before.

The above photo shows the burial of the slain German evangelical minister on the premises of the Armenian Church in Malatya.

The minister and two Turkish converts to Christianity were found with their hands and legs bound and their throats slit.

The Hurriyet columinist Bekir Coskun ( see video) asks whether the Turkish educational system is ultimately to blame for these and similar acts of violence which stem from a deep fear and hatred of anything non-Turkish and non-Islamic. Paradoxically, Christians make up a fraction of 1% of the country's 71 million population.

Coincidentally, slain Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink was born in Malatya and was working towards reopening the local Armenian Church there.
