ISTANBUL (Reuters) – A Catholic bishop who was a leading figure in Christian communities in the Middle East was stabbed to death at his home in southern Turkey Thursday, and police arrested his driver in connection with the attack.

The motive for the killing of Luigi Padovese, apostolic vicar for Anatolia, in the town of Iskenderun was not known. Previous attacks on Christians have raised concerns about the safety of religious minorities in Muslim Turkey.

Hatay Provincial Governor Mehmet Celalettin Lekesiz told the state-run news agency Anatolian there was no immediate evidence of a political motive and the bishop's driver had been arrested.

The motive is not known? WTF?? Only the media and Obama are so obtuse as to not see the obvious. Another crazy mo attack on anyone who is not of their ilk. They’ll kill Christians, buddhists, animists, atheists, agnostics and anyone else who has the smell of the west about them, even (and most frequently) other muslims.

I guess one could be forgiven for wondering how many Turkish Muslim leaders there are in the U.S.

“...The motive for the killing of Luigi Padovese,..was not known.”

Hello?! Padovese was murdered by a Muslim, all because he was Christian.

That’s not such a difficult walk, now is it?

When we allow the evil puke muslims in this country to build their satan churches and have the freedoms our BRAVE soldiers died for it BURNS THE HECK OUTTA ME while the bastards overseas are killing and silencing the Christians it ....it just ticks me off to no end!! We are not too far off from becoming another England governed by shariah laws imposed on the whole British nation.

Ummm ... he certainly acts eight years old, but lacking his birth certificate, I can't honestly say how old he actually is.

(Are we talking about the same person?)
