It is now confirmed. There is no priest converting to Islam, period! Islamic Taqiyyah is at its finest, y’all!
Quote: Papers claim former priest was intelligence agent
A former priest known for his statements against Christian missionary activities is a noncommissioned officer in the Turkish military, reported a newspaper Wednesday.A Bugün daily report, cited by other national dailies, claimed Ilker Çınar has been a state servant since 1992 and that he still receives a regular pension. While the state pension fund, Emekli Sandığı, confirmed that Çınar was registered with them, it did not disclose which institution he worked for.In an interview with Aksiyon magazine, Çınar said he worked for a state institution from 1987-1993, but refused to provide details, citing national security.On a television show in 2005, Çınar, with a person he introduced as an assistant, painted a very bleak picture of missionary activities in the country. He described himself as a former priest who had worked in the Mediterranean town of Tarsus and claimed that there were 40,000 homes that served as churches around the country.
Since then Çınar has held a number of anti-missionary conferences.
Catholic priest Andrea Santoro, 61, was shot to death by a 16-year-old teenager in his church in the Black Sea city of Trabzon Feb. 5, 2006, while three Christian missionaries were stabbed to death in the eastern province of Malatya last year. In each case, culprits referred to the threat they believe missionaries pose to the country as the impetus for the killings.

A former Christian priest who later converted to Islam and was allegedly paid by the Turkish military’s intelligence unit to spread anti-Christian propaganda has described himself as a “social engineer.”
İlker Çınar waged a war against Christian missionary activities in Turkey after his conversion to Islam. Records of state insurance agency the Retirement Fund published in newspapers on Wednesday reveal he was paid a salary by the military. Çınar has denied any truth to news stories establishing links with his anti-Christian mission and his army work.
Çınar’s anti-missionary propaganda is blamed by some for the death of Italian priest Andrea Santoro, who was killed by a teenager on Feb. 5, 2006, in his church in the northern Black Sea port city of Trabzon. The murderer had he was alarmed by debates on television over missionary activities in Turkey.
The reports of Çınar’s army affiliation have raised the question of whether the military did indeed pay a spy to encourage aggression against Christians in the mostly Muslim nation.
Speaking to the Cihan news agency, Çınar admitted that at one point he had worked for the Land Forces Command, but refused provide details on the nature of his duties.
Çınar said he would explain in detail everything and expose the names of Turks involved in Christian missionary activity “when the time comes.” He said he never aimed to get people killed in his work for the army.
He said that instead, as a “social engineer” he had analyzed all kinds of people. “A person might want to decide on their own direction in life. I am not criticizing people for being Christians. They could be Christian, Jewish or Muslim. The important thing is being a human being,” he told Cihan.
“I have always served my state,” he said.
