Three men, one of them armed with a gun and wearing gloves, threatened a Protestant church and its pastor in the Turkish capital city of Ankara yesterday. The culprits fled in a car before police could be summoned...I sure hope so, too. Because we all know that armed citizens and religion don't mix?
“Unfortunately these things keep happening here in Turkey,” Ozbek told Compass. “I hope that the state will do something, because we are not in any position to protect ourselves.”
What person of religious conviction would even want a gun?
And why would they need it?
I believe it was Jesus who advised that one should sell his cloak and buy a sword. It would be hard to doubt his religious conviction.
