After being beaten into a coma three months ago for alleged missionary propaganda, Turkish Christian Yakup Cindilli has been slowly improving from a nearly helpless state.
Cindilli, 32, was hospitalized the third week of October after four men linked with the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) beat him severely on his head and face for distributing New Testaments and doing missionary work.
At a court hearing on December 17, about 60 MHP sympathizers gathered outside the courthouse in a show of support for two of Cindillis assailants who remain in jail.
Metin Yildiran, president of the local MHP chapter, was released at an earlier court hearing.
The crowd of sympathizers began shouting angrily when they learned that the defendants had been remanded back to jail custody following the hearing because, a defense lawyer stated, there was hard evidence against them.
Cindilli, discharged on December 2 from the intensive care unit of Bursa State Hospital shortly after he began to emerge from total unconsciousness, is now at his familys home but is in a semi vegetative state.
His attackers were released by a Turkish court yesterday since the brain-damaged victim did not appear in court.

To be expected. In the religion of peace, death is the penalty for attempting to convert one of these deveil worshippers to another religion, and death is the penalty for the devil worshipper who converts to another belief system.
Islamic countires are divied into two groups: bad and worse.
Muslims are divided into two groups: fanatic nuts and those who don't take their religion seriously.

Luckily, Human Rights Watch is watching out for the victims of these atrocities.....oh,wait, he's a Christian....that means that he must have a set of morals and values that gives him the right to think he is above everyone else...nevermind....let's go watch a Sean Penn movie or listen to our Pearl Jam CD's.

Christians are not allowed to testify in court against a Moslem anyway.
Why are the freedom of religion laws being applied to the Death Cult of Islam in America? Charley Manson was jailed for far less, and Waco was burned to the ground for killing nobody.
Where in the Constitution does it say Allah, Allah, murders free?

"Muslims are divided into two groups: fanatic nuts and those who don't take their religion seriously."
How alarmingly true that is.

"Muslims are divided into two groups: fanatic nuts and those who don't take their religion seriously." If they don't take their religion seriously, I doubt they advertize that fact in public.

The traditional saying throughout former Muslim Turk colonized lands is:
"Where the Turk Goes, No Green Grass Grows."
Wherever Muslim Turks have ruled, there is still despair and backwardness today even many years after liberation.
