3 slain over Bible distribution in Turkey
Assailants slit throats of men working at publishing house
ISTANBUL, Turkey - Assailants tied up three people at a publishing house that distributes Bibles in Turkey and then slit their throats Wednesday, adding to a string of attacks apparently targeting the country’s tiny Christian minority.
The killings occurred in Malatya, a city in central Turkey known as a hotbed of Turkish nationalism and is the hometown of Mehmet Ali Agca, the gunman who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981.
Malatya Gov. Ibrahim Dasoz said two of the victims at the Zirve publishing house were found already dead and the third died after being taken to the hospital. All had their throats cut and their hands and legs were bound, he said.
Dasoz said police detained four suspects and were investigating whether another man who suffered head injuries when he jumped from the window of the publisher’s office may have been involved in the attack. He was reported undergoing surgery for his injury.
The German Embassy said one victim was German. “I am shocked that a German citizen is among the victims. Even if the exact circumstances of the crime are not yet known, I most strongly condemn this brutal crime,” German Ambassador Eckart Cuntz said in a statement.

Why we tolerate these savage maniacs is beyond all sane logic.
Don’t they have Diversity Training in Muslims countries?
Why is this not a surprise?
The German decedent would be happy to know that action that led to his death was ‘strongly condemned’.
Thanks for posting.

Many thanks to Robert Spencer.
Tied them up and then cut their throats. It’s a bit surprising they didn’t saw their heads off.
They aren’t content just to kill people. It has to be done in the most vicious, cowardly, and disgusting way possible.
I have news for them. They are not demeaning their enemies with this kind of behavior. They are demeaning themselves. They are not proving their honor, they are proving their lack of any real sense of honor.
Beasts.
The bible shines the light of truth on Islam - therefore it must be destroyed.
The price of being a Christian in some parts of this world is your life.
“MODERATE MUSLIM COUNTRY ALERT”
the Christians need “sensitivity” training, big sarchasm
Thanks.
I searched quite a few keywords (Turkey, ROP etc.), but couldn’t find anything. Should’ve tried “muhammadsminions” *LOL.
What is “ROP”?
(T)ROP = (The) Religion of Peace
No!
Let me tell you about something that happened on 9-11-01...
“MODERATE MUSLIM COUNTRY ALERT”
