"You are not a human being!" You are just a dhimmi.
"Intruder Threatens Catholic Priests and Youths," from Compass Direct, with thanks to Leslie:
March 16 (Compass) – A Turkish Muslim shouting insults against Christianity pulled a long butcher knife on two priests and a group of teenagers last Saturday evening (March 11) at a Latin Catholic church in Mersin, threatening them and their families.In a 30-minute standoff in the town on the southern coast of Turkey, Erdal Gurel entered the parish convent of St. Antoine’s Catholic Church while 25 of the church’s young people were rehearsing for an Easter passion play.
“I was in my church office about 7:30 p.m. when I heard someone shouting and looked out in the hall to see what was happening,” Brother Hanri Leylek later told the police in a recorded statement.
Leylek, a Turkish citizen and brother in the Capuchin order, said he offered to help the stranger. But the man insisted with strong language, “I want to see the fat bearded priest.” Then he started to swear loudly and “talk nonsense,” Leylek said.
Telling the frightened parish youth to go back and lock themselves in their rehearsal room, Leylek tried to talk with Gurel and asked him to go outside. When he began to shout insults and refused to leave, the priest went to a hallway telephone to call the police.
Before the priest finished dialing, the church young people shouted a warning. He turned around to see the intruder approaching him, brandishing a 30-inch butcher knife that had been hidden behind his back.
“He started to threaten me with the knife and curse against Christianity and the church,” Leylek said.
Just then Italian priest Roberto Ferrari entered from the kitchen door. Gurel turned and dashed toward him, waving the knife and declaring in vulgar terms, “You are not a human being! I will violate your mother, your sisters, your children.”
Read it all.
These Turks harbour so much hate towards Christians,and the West,and it is apparant in the killing of these catholic priests time and again, and the foolish European Union wants to make them part of EU.!.It will be like appointing a fox as guardian to the newly hatched chickens. Once Turkey comes in to the EU,forget about a Christian majority,highly cultured,Europe of the past,and get ready to buy your ladies tenicoit purdhas(taliban style,head to toe with two tiny holes for the eyes).
“You are not a human being! I will violate your mother, your sisters, your children.”
So...that makes him...what?
The behaviour of this gentleman reminds us that in Muslim countries, while wine and other forms of alcohol are forbidden, most other kinds of mind-altering drugs are both widely used and popular. He reminds me of cokeheads I have known.
A "30-inch butcher-knife" is a freakin' *sword*.

A good Muslim, following the path laid out by the
murdering, raping, pedophile inventor of the
Islamic cult.
What were you going to say/
Here's a bit more from the piece in "Compass Direct" (which is worth going to):
"The Turkish press and private television channels have fanned a rising level of antagonism against Christianity during the past 18 months. Some government authorities have openly encouraged this barrage of anti-Christian propaganda, claiming that local Christians and foreign missionaries have ulterior political motives to convert Turkey’s 70 million Muslims to Christianity and destroy Islam.
One of the first TV news broadcasts of the Mersin incident emphasized the suspect’s shouted accusations, heard by journalists as he was put into a police car at the scene: “You are having sex here!” A video clip of the teenagers present during the attack implied they were involved in prostitution under the auspices of the church.
Church Responds
To correct these misrepresentations, the leaders of the Mersin parish invited local and national journalists, human rights groups and political party representatives to a press conference on March 14.
After giving the 60 guests a detailed explanation of the incident, Leylek drew particular attention to the Turkish identity of Mersin’s Catholic congregation. “The people you see here, our church community, are all the children of this land,” he said. “These are not a group of foreigners brought in here.”
As full-fledged Turkish citizens, he said, all of them were working consciously for their country’s peace and welfare, as well as their own."
"By then a dozen more police and several journalists had arrived at the church.
Initial brief reports on the incident on local television channels and in regional newspapers over the next two days mentioned the attacker simply as a would-be thief who pulled out a knife when confronted by a priest."
How'd that happen? Do journalists ordinarily accompany the police in Turkey? So how did they manage to bungle the story?
Does anyone know the ethnicity of these Christians, are they Tukish converts or Syrianis who are in communion with Rome?
Also from the article:
"Otherwise, Leylek said, the church has encountered little opposition from the residents of Mersin. “On the contrary,” he said, “the people of Mersin have supported the churches here. Our church is a part of the city.”
Established 150 years ago, St. Antoine’s currently has a church community of 400 worshipping in the Turkish language.
After the February 5 murder of Catholic priest Andrea Santoro in Trabzon, Leylek said the church in Mersin was flooded with telephone calls “for at least15 days,” as local citizens expressed their grief and support for the Catholic community. "
I have to assume that he is referring to expressions of support from local Muslims.
I love it when folks point to Turkey as an example of "moderate" Islam. Really? Well last time I checked Turkey was 99% Muslim! I always ask such folks how they suppose it is that Turkey went from being the capital of Eastern Christianity to being 99% Muslim?
These anecdotes suggesting that the local Muslims are all very supportive of the local Christians (again that is my assumption re his statement as what would be the point of noting local Christian support for the church?) - are completely and utterly meaningless.
The overwhelming historical fact remains that everywhere there are Muslims, they murder, harass and in other ways squeeze out all non-Muslims from their midst. And this simply COULD NOT happen if there were any GENUINE opposition from Muslims themselves. That is a fact. A few sympathetic phone calls simply doesn't cut it - doesn't change that blaringly obvious fact.
