Turkey: Three Armed Men Threaten to ‘Get Rid’ of Christian Pastor
Just more proselytizing from the religion of peace… Nothing to see here… Move along…
TURKEY: ARMED MEN THREATEN CHURCH
Incident in Ankara marks seventh threat of violence in past four months.
ISTANBUL, May 7 (Compass Direct News) – Three men, one of them armed with a gun and wearing gloves, threatened a Protestant church and its pastor in the Turkish capital city of Ankara yesterday. The culprits fled in a car before police could be summoned. The men drove up to Kurtulus Church in Ankara’s Cebeci district, and a heavy-set man about 45 years old went up to the locked church building and began to ring the doorbell repeatedly. He threatened to “get rid” of the pastor, and moments later one of the men in his car began walking toward a nearby church member, shouting and waving a pistol at him. The attempted attack marked the seventh incident in the past four months of threatened violence against Turkey’s tiny Protestant community, most of whom are former Muslims who converted to Christianity.
