First , let's remark that in a country with 99,8% Moslem majority those Christians and Jews constitute a microscopic percentage of less than 0,2% and hence unless you have very sharp eyes you can hardly see what is happening to them. But very curious things are happening to those moribund remnants of the erstwhile so numerous dhimmis.

In 2003 a Jewish synagogue was blown up. Üzeyir Garih, a Jewish Turkish businessman, was found murdered in a Muslim cemetery in Istambul in 2001. In 1995 another Jewish businessman was killed in Bursa. Earlier another prominent Jew narrowly escaped death as pan-Turkists blew up his car. In the meantime "Mein Kampf" ("Kavgam" in Turkish) by A. Hitler - next to an anti-American war novel "Metal Storm" - became a bestseller in Turkey where the normal way of refering to Jews is "korkak Yehudi". As a Turk explained in a comment : "Literally translated it means 'cowardly Jew.' I grew up with Turkish as my first language, and I learned that phrase early in life and used it all the time as I was growing up. Of course, I didn't even know its literal meaning. [...] Not until I grew up and learned that there are different religions did I realize its literal meaning. I actually remember asking my dad why are Yahudis cowardly, and I'll paraphrase his answer: that's the way Jews are viewed in Turkey, because they will never fight back. You can beat them all you want, they will not fight.". And he adds "in Turkey being an anti-semite is part of the culture".

When the American Jews changed their mind and declared they would no longer support the shameless Turkish camapaign of the Armenian genocide denial, the Turks responded as they always do - with angry curses and threats to terrorize the Turkish Jews in return.

In a manner reminding of underworld gangsterism Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan in an interview with th newspaper Zaman said :

"We have told them [the American-Jewish leaders] that we cannot explain it to the public in Turkey if a road accident happens. We have told them that we cannot keep the Jewish people out of this."

So much for the Jews. As to persecutions of Christians in Turkey, let's just mention teh 1955 pogroms in Constantinople or the purges of northern Cyprus from anything and anyone reminding of its Christian past and the brave Turkish killer Mehmet Ali Akca who shot at the previous pope. Recent anti-Christian exploits in Turkey include a Catholic priest killed in Trapezunt in 2006 and the sadist murder of the employees of the Bible publishing house in Malatya in April 2007. They were all apostates from Islam. Five Moslems tortured and murdered them by slitting their throats. Commenting on the case Niyazi Güney, Justice Ministry Statutes Directorate General Manager said : "Missionary work is even more dangerous than terrorism and unfortunately is not considered a crime in Turkey." Recently plans have been elaborated to assassinate the ecumenical patriarch Bartholoew and the Armenian patriarch Mesrob Mutafyan [ together with a Jewish businessman. ]

In view of that institutional and administrative chicaneries, confiscations of property, regular desecrations of Christian cemeteries and few remaining churches seem to be less grave while shutting down the Halki theological school was decided to makes it impossible to appoint the next patriach and thus achieve peacefully the goal for whose achievement violent means would be required. The law provides patriarch must be a Greek and a Turkish citizen simultaneously and have a theological education in Turkey. Greeks have been exterminated or expelled en masse and without a theological school there is no theological education. Turks' diabolical logic seems to work well. They have always been praised for their nasty destructive ingeniosity.
