Modern Martyrs

Posted by Jim on April 20, 2007

It’s not safe to be a Christian in Turkey because some Muslims there believe that killing them protects Islam. CNN reports on the sub-human execution of three Christians in eastern Turkey,

Police detained five more suspects Thursday in the attack at a Christian publishing house that distributes Bibles. Some reportedly said they carried out the killings to protect Islam. The three victims — a German man and two Turks who converted to Christianity — were found a day earlier with their hands and legs tied and their throats slit. Their faces were bruised, and the ropes had cut into their wrists. On Friday, the Hurriyet newspaper reported that at least one victim was stabbed many times. “There were so many stab wounds that we couldn’t count them,” Hurriyet quoted Dr. Murat Ugras as saying. “It was clearly torture.”

Barbarians. Which faith seems nearer to God? A faith that prays for the enemy or a faith that slits the enemies’ throat?  Pray for the victim’s families.
