Turkey has problems with human rights, but it is a secular country. Sunday, not Friday is their day of rest. The fez and the wearing of a head scarf has long been forbidden at universities and in government buildings.
Admittedly, I saw this article briefly. Were they missionaries or Turkish Christians? Where I live there is a tradition of accepting Turkish Christians as convention refugees, but not Alevites who are also disadvantaged and endangered in parts of Turkey. This shows a Christian bias.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all based on the Old Testament, but Christian teaching is based on tolerance. Islam acknowledges Jesus as one of the great Prophets, but not as the Son of God, which Jesus never claimed to be.
Muslims aren't against other religions. In Muslim countries where Muslim law (the Sharia) is applied, even in Iran, Christianity is not forbidden, what is forbidden is conversion of a born Muslim to another religion. And don't forget that the Sharia is not rooted in the Qur'an, it is a later addition.
If, indeed, the three who were killed, were missionaries, then I ask myself why were they there? Surely when Jesus said, 'Spread the word', the last thing he wanted was that people's lives would be endangered.
Back to Turkey. There are issues which need to be confronted. As long as these issues are not addressed by the EU, more and more Turks will drift towards extremist Islam and that's the last thing anybody in Europe wants.

In a experience, definite, even if we are speaking about "organic" missionaries that provide no longer something yet goodness and style, help and practise, nutrition and medicines, alongside with the Gospel. change is confident to come back anytime new issues are further, on an similar time because the addition of electrical energy, phones, and televisions has replaced our personal subculture, society, and traditions. that regulate may be considered as "harm" by a organic traditionalist, ie someone who thinks that each little thing must be achieved "the way we've consistently achieved it", without wavering, without replacing something. i imagine the actual question is, is this change consistently a foul element? A society that not in any respect variations something is stagnant and useless. severe questioning is discouraged, technological improvements are not allowed, innovation is repressed. change isn't consistently a foul element. we may be able to apply the eliminating of a cancerous boom as an allegory; the surgical procedure does certainly convey painful change, even if the finished result's a fit body. In concerning fit change, evaluate the cultural practices of chinese foot-binding, the Indian (Hindu) caste gadget, or some Polynesian cannibalistic practices. could all of those cultural traditions were "left on my own", out of appreciate for the Indigenous cultures and ideology? For the most section, those practices were abolished (i'm no longer confident about the Caste gadget in India, or the cannibalism!) because the advent of overseas help and missionary workers. change is confident to come back, the question is, with what motorized vehicle will it come? ideally, it gained't comprise violence and repression, yet we've all considered too a lot of human historic past to be pollyannic about such an theory. i could fairly have a missionary any day, than Ghengis Khan. regrettably, there are also countless the latter, and they are extra aggressive than the former.

Murder is a crime and the world is watching to see whether the Turkish authorities treat these murders as a crime.
In the meantime may Jesus rest the souls of his faithful martyrs and raise them from the dead and vindicate them in front of their enemies.

May God let Christ give them a resurrection into Paradise. Islam truly produces hatred -- evil fruit.

Because the Koran teaches that non believers should be killed.

People will always have hatred for each other and if you break the commandments you will go to hell whether it is for religious reasons or not.

you must be reading a different Bible, because the one I read is full of hate and intolerance, as are most Christians.
You're right about one thing - Islam is a disgusting religion, and the sooner it and all other religions are wiped out the better.

You are right. The reason that they kill us, is because the Koran tells them that they should.
