    Another Priest Attacked in Turkey


    ANKARA, Turkey — For the second time in the last two months a priest in the southern Turkish city of Mersin has been attacked.

    Early Saturday evening a young man with a knife entered the parish of Capuchin Father Hanri Leylek, saying that he wanted to speak with a priest.

    Aid to the Church in Need told ZENIT that young Turk insulted the priest and then threatened him with an 80-centimeter (31-inch) Kebab knife.

    The priest was able to repel the aggressor, and that same evening the police arrested a suspect, a young Turk.

    Bishop Luigi Padovese, the apostolic vicar of Anatolia, reported that this was the second time, in the last two months, that an attempt was made to kill a Catholic clergyman in the parish of Mersin, where 700 Catholics reside.

    Norbert Neuhaus, secretary-general of Aid to the Church in Need, said Catholics in Turkey "are scared" about the effects that such acts will have on relations between the Muslim majority and Christian minority.

    Neuhaus appealed to "the authorities to take this dramatic development seriously so that the security of Turkish Christians" is guaranteed.

    I wonder how many priests were attacked in USA today?

    This could just be a stupid drunk Turk, or maybe the priest owes this guy some money or any trivial incident. Before putting stuff like this on the "alter" of Christian minorities being massacred in Turkey Norbert Neuhaus should have looked into why this incident happened. The incident itself is enough for him to call it "dramatic" and label it a minority issue. If it was intented to be an act by let say a local grey wolf or fundamental islamist group the guy would either be dead or if it was meant to scare him a "group" of people would have been involved. The "kebab knife" reveals that this kid is not one of these but of the hooligan type of urban scum.

      Could be an isolated incident but with current event developing the way they are, the writting is on the wall.

          It adds a new dimension to the Turkish expression "Papazi bulduk!" Which literally means, "we found the priest", and it actually means, we're in trouble. Maybe one of our Turkish members can explain the connection between "finding the priest" and "being in trouble."

                  I think it related with the gambling cards. You know the priest in the cards?
