An Islamist gunman, who has confessed to the killing of 39 people at an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Day, told a court that he had aimed to kill Christians during his attack, Hurriyet newspaper said on Monday, citing testimony given this weekend.

Abdulgadir Masharipov initially planned to attack the area around Taksim Square but switched to the upscale Reina nightclub due to the heightened security measures around the square, Hurriyet said, without saying how it had obtained the document.

"I did not take part in any acts before the Reina event. I thought of carrying out an act against Christians on their holiday, to take revenge for their killing acts across the world. My goal was to kill Christians," he was quoted as saying.

Islam, demanding revenge for daring to defend yourself against Islam.

Arm yourselves, fellow “infidels”. Muslim savages now regard us as smug & safe here in the American homeland, and they intend to bring their jihad into our midst.

Your survival may well hang upon your willingness to cut flesh.

Islam is a war plan.
