Title: Christian bookshop vandalized in Turkey Post by: nChrist on March 03, 2009, 09:01:28 PM Christian bookshop vandalized in Turkey
by Staff March 1, 2009 (christiansunite.com) - A Christian bookshop in the southern city of Adana, Turkey was vandalized twice in recent weeks. On February 7, the front door of the Soz Kitapevi bookshop was smashed and the security camera destroyed. The damages were repaired, but the building was again attacked on February 12 by two unidentified youths who destroyed the glass door and windows and damaged the door frame. At last report, police were attempting to identify the culprits using the store's security camera. Although the shop is generally accepted by its Muslim neighbours, the employees have faced some threats in the past. Last November, a man accused the shop of working with the CIA to harm Muslims. Pray that the attacks on this bookshop will stop. Pray that the bookshop will continue to be a light for Muslims in this community.
