A Let Them Into the EU Alert from AP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
Unknown assailants on Sunday stoned a two-story building housing a Protestant church in the Black Sea port city of Samsun, the pastor of the church said."The assailants broke at least 10 windows in an overnight attack," Mehmet Orhan Picaklar, the pastor of the Agape Church, told The Associated Press by telephone. "This is the seventh or eight such attack over the past three years. Separately, I am constantly receiving death threats by e-mail."
it wouldnt suprise me if it was turks who attacked the church they have never liked christians there history is hating and killing christians i am sure that even if the turkish police knew who attacked the church they would do nothing just like they do nothing about the death of the armenian reporter who died recently
"Separately, I am constantly receiving death threats by e-mail."
You gotta' love these brave and courageous Islamic warriors...fightin' da jihad over the internet. These guys are probably 5'2" with no facial hair and still live with their mothers.
I agree young Turks are probably the culprit.In an July 19, 2004 attack on the Church a young Turk barricaded himself in the Church, set fire to the curtains, bibles, and cassette tapes. His Name was Medet Arslan, he was 27 years old. He smashed windows and Quoted Quranic verses, saying that he wanted to become a Martyr. While he may have been a Turk, you can clearly see he suffers from Islamic dementia....
Ban the Qur'an.......
Hey! Lookee over our way, too!
Arabs Ransack Samuel´s Tomb, Vandalize Hevron Graveyard.
Turks are scum. They always were and will continue to be. Afterall, they did side with the Nazis. They should not be allowed in the eu and should be thrown out of nato. When is turkey going to end its occupation of cyprus??? When are the turks going to be held accountable for the massacres of 1.5 million armenians.
Hey! Lookee over our way, too!

Don't worry, Shy Guy.. this won't make it to CNN or ABC and all the rest of them. This bit of news surely won't go published in Europe. No WAY it would EVER be shown on the Beeb.
They are intent on turning us all into raving anti-Semites once again. The ghost of Goebbels is present in the halls of our newsmedia..
And it STINKS!!
Seeing the way the MoFoes treat these Religious Monuments in Israel is infuriating enough. The lack of outcry is even more outrageous. Once again there is noone speaking up. Remember folks.. they first came for the Jews.. and it won't be long till they come for us.
VERY OT:
(then again, anything to do with islam is on topic!)
Just got this in an email.
It is a call for help. Please feel free to email this out, or post on your 'blog.
Thanks guys.

Please help us recruit more Christian letter writers for our
Email Team!
For too long, Israel advocacy has been regarded as a
"Jewish" concern.
To be sure, Israel is a sign of hope and assurance to the
Jewish people in a post-Holocaust world, but non-Jews also
have a stake in Israel's future. The extremists who seek
Israel's destruction also exhibit contempt for the United
States and for notions of democracy, tolerance and
religious freedom that are the hallmarks of Western
civilization.
But as hostile as these extremists are to western notions of
free speech and tolerance, they have a deep understanding of
how to manipulate our institutions to their advantage.
In particular, these extremists have proven adept at
manipulating Western media coverage of the Arab-Israeli
conflict in a manner that promotes hostility toward Israel.
When Hezbollah launches rockets at Israeli civilians while
hiding behind Lebanese civilians, Israel is blamed for
firing back and causing civilian casualties. When violence
against Israel increases after it withdraws from places like
the Gaza Strip or Lebanon, Israel - not those who seek its
destruction - is blamed for not making more concessions.
When Hamas, Hezbollah and extremists in Iran chant for the
destruction of Israel and the United States, Western
outlets shrug it off as business as usual in the Middle
East. When Christians leave the Middle East because of the
mistreatment and harassment at the hands of their Muslim
neighbors, churches in the U.S. blame Israel, one of the
very few countries in the Middle East where the Christian
population is increasing, not dwindling.
CAMERA letter writers live up to their obligation as
citizens in a free democracy by insisting that news
organizations accurately cover these threats to Israel and
the West. While letters authored by Jewish writers are
vital to defend the facts, Christian writers bring the
added strength of perceived greater neutrality.
The need for Christian letter writers has become
increasingly apparent to us at CAMERA as we have ramped up
our efforts to monitor the Christian media. For example, we
have been paying close attention lately to articles written
by James M. Wall, a long time columnist at Christian
Century. Rev. Wall routinely omits crucial facts about the
Arab-Israeli conflict. He portrays Israel as an aggressor
nation and downplays Palestinian animosity and violence
toward Israel. He also portrays every ceasefire or hudna
offered by the Palestinians (no matter how poorly it has
been adhered to) as a bona fide peace offer, while
minimizing Israeli offers and concessions.
We are also monitoring National Catholic Reporter, a
magazine that has done an inadequate job reporting on
Muslim anti-Semitism. Additionally, we are regularly in
touch with the Episcopal Church for its one-sided portrayal
of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
To have the greatest impact on Christian magazines and
Christian churches, we need more Christian letter writers.
Letters from Jews to the Church officials and publications
are helpful, but letters from Christians who are members of
these churches are a lot harder for Christian leaders to
ignore. Our goal is to recruit 300 Christian letter writers
by the end of March 2007.
Our request to our current team of letter writers is to ask
your pro-Israel Christian friends to become part of
CAMERA's letter-writing team. Tell them about CAMERA's work
and how being a member of the Email Team makes it easy to
be informed and to quickly write an effective letter that
makes a difference. They can join the team by sending us
(letters@camera.org ) an email with their name, address,
phone number and how they heard about the Email Team. OR,
if you give us their name and email address, we can send
them an introductory letter inviting them to join the team.

Look the bright side. There probably hasn't been any Christian presence in Samsun since the 1920's--and now there's a church that's actually in use (rather than kept as a museum for tourists) for Muslims to vandalize. May millions more of the Turkish people see the light of Jesus Christ!
