Three Christian Martyrs
Murdered By Islamofascist In Turkey



Necati Aydin, Tilman Geske & Ugur Yuksel

On Resurrection Sunday (April 7, 2007), five young Islamic these men were invited to an evangelistic service that Pastor Necati Aydin that he had arranged at a hotel conference room in Malatya, Turkey. The men were known to the believers as "seekers." Did they hear the gospel in their heart of hearts? Were they convicted of sin? No one knows if they opened their hearts to the invitation of the Holy Spirt?

These young men, one of whom is the son of a mayor in the Province of Malatya, are part of a Tarikat, or a group of "faithful believers" in Islam. Tarikat membership is highly respected; it's like a fraternity membership. In fact, it is said that no one can get into public office without membership in a Tarikat. These young men all lived in the same dorm, all preparing for university entrance exams. They obtained guns, knives, ropes ready for their gruesome act of service to Allah. They got towels ready too as they knew there would be a lot of blood. They arrived in time for the Bible Study, around 10 o'clock.

They arrived, and apparently the Bible Study began. After Necati read a chapter from the Bible the assault began. The boys tied Ugur, Necati, and Tilmana's hands and feet to chairs and as they videoed their work on their cellphones as they tortured the men to death. Tilman was stabbed 156 times, Necati 99 times and Ugura's stabs were too numerous to count. They were disemboweled, and their intestines sliced up in front of their eyes. They were emasculated and watched as those body parts were destroyed. Fingers were chopped off, their noses and mouths and anuses were sliced open. Finally, their throats were sliced from ear to ear, heads practically decapitated.

Neighbors in workplaces near the Malatya Evangelist Church office said later they had heard yelling, but assumed the owners were having domestic argument so they did not respond.

Meanwhile, another believer Gokhan and his wife had a leisurely morning. He slept in till 10, ate a long breakfast and finally around 12:30 he and his wife arrived at the office. The door was locked from the inside, and his key would not work. He phoned and though it had connection on his end he did not hear the phone ringing inside. He called cell phones of his brothers and finally Ugur answered his phone. "We are not at the office. Go to the hotel meeting. We are there. We will come there," he said cryptically. As Ugur spoke Gokhan heard in the telephone's background weeping and a strange snarling sound.

He phoned the police, and the nearest officer arrived in about five minutes. He pounded on the door, "Police, open up!" Initially the officer thought it was a domestic disturbance. At that point they heard another snarl and a gurgling moan. The police understood that sound as human suffering, prepared the clip in his gun and tried over and over again to burst through the door. One of the frightened assailants unlocked the door for the policeman, who entered to find a grisly scene.

Tilman and Necati had been slaughtered, practically decapitated with their necks slit from ear to ear. Ugura's throat was likewise slit and he was barely alive.

These servants of Jesus Christ will surely be rewarded according to God's infallible Word. The Lord Jesus Christ said: "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matt. 5:7-12)

To untangle the web we need to back up six years. In April 2001, the National Security Council of Turkey (Milli Guvenlik Kurulu) began to consider evangelical Christians to be terrorists and a threat to national security. This is of course utter absurdity. Christians have no history of terrorist activity whatsoever. The Bible says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal ... )" (2 Cor. 10:3-4). "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph. 6:12) Statements made in the press by political leaders, columnists and commentators have fueled a hatred against missionaries who they claim bribe young people to change their religion.

After that decision in 2001, attacks and threats on churches, pastors and Christians began. Bombings, physical attacks, verbal and written abuse are only some of the ways Christians are being targeted. Most significant is the use of media propaganda.

From December 2005, after having a long meeting regarding the Christian threat, the wife of Former Prime Minister Ecevit, historian Ilber Ortayli, Professor Hasan Unsal, Politician Ahmet Tan and writer / propogandist Aytunc Altindal, each in their own profession began a campaign to ring the public's attention to the looming threat of Christians who sought to "buy their children's souls". Hidden cameras in churches have taken church service footage and used it sensationally to promote fear and antagonism toward Christianity.

In an official televised response from Ankara, the Interior Minister of Turkey smirked as he spoke of the attacks on our brothers. Amid public outrage and protests against the event and in favor of freedom of religion and freedom of thought, media and official comments ring with the same message, "We hope you have learned your lesson. We do not want Christians here."

This is the typical Islamic antagonism against freedom of speech and the right to follow the dictates of one own heart.
