Istanbul, Dec. 17, 2007 (CWNews.com) - An Italian missionary serving in Turkey survived a stabbing attack on December 16, but the AsiaNews service argues that the latest assault on a Catholic priest illustrates the dangerous effects of “a widespread campaign of defamation and hatred against Christians” in the predominantly Muslim country.
Father Adriano Franchini, a Capuchin priest, was hospitalized after being stabbed by a teenage assailant in St. Anthony’s church in Izmir, a coastal city. The Italian priest-- who has served in Turkey for 27 years-- was reported in stable condition, and doctors said he should recover quickly.
However an AsiaNews analysis by Mavi Zambak notes that the attack on Father Franchini falls into a pattern, matching several other recent acts of violence against Christians including the murder of Father Andrea Santoro in February 2006. Zambak remarks:

This is the same people who say that “the Holocaust never happened.”
 
The Turks are not to be trusted. They have been an enemy of Christianity throughout their entire history. Many brave crusader knights and Austrian soldiers died fighting against the Turkish menace.

Nationality has nothing to do with it, its all in the difference in religion.

And the Turks have always been hardcore Islamists.

And my ancestors, the Europeans were all hardcore pagans until we were saved from paganism by Christ through the work of his Church. Its not in the nationality, we are all human and the nationality has nothing to do with it, it is the person, and any group of people can change, so we should not brand any nationality with a bad name just because the people were born/live in a particular part of the world.
