Turkey Today: Three Christians Tortured, Then Murdered

It Was All An Islamic Misunderstanding



On April 18, 2007, 5 Muslims who proclaimed they wanted to convert to Christianity, met with 3 German and Turkish Christians. In order to prepare themselves for the Bible Study, they decided to bring with towels, guns,table knives, a hunting knife, and rope. All were devout Muslims, going to the local Mosque and in communication with the local friendly Imam.

Apparently they were under the impression this was a show-and-tell session, when they could describe the idiosyncrasies of Islam, prior to their instruction in the Bible.



They then proceeded to tie up the three men into chairs. They then arranged them in a circle. First they cut off the genitals of one, showed it to the others, then chopped it into pieces and stomped one it. They did this to all three in turn. Then they disemboweled one after the other and cut the intestines into pieces. They then slit the rectum of each man in turn.

Then took turn stabbing them.

Three Christians sadistically tortured and finally murdered


ICC then continued to describe the nature of the torture, which included disembowelment, emasculation, and the slicing open of various orifices.

“Tilman was stabbed 156 times, Necati 99 times and Ugur’s stabs were too numerous to count. Finally, their throats were sliced from ear to ear, heads practically decapitated,” ICC reports. According to Christian Today. This went on for 3 hours. Of course we do not have to take their word for it. The perpetrators conveniently filmed it, sound and all.




But it turn out it is all a misunderstanding. While someone injured these infidels, no-one of the five did. In fact they did not go to do harm at all. OK, one of them did--just one--but they all point to each other.

So the Turkish officials are hopelessly confused. I mean would one of these Gentlemen lie? O

f course not. At the 5th pre-hearing, that is right, the 5th.

Remember those video recordings? Apparently the Turkish authorities are hoping you don't.

"I didn't kill anybody, I just hit them" said the ring leader, who happens to be the son of the local mayor.He said that one of the others hit one of infidels, and maybe slashed a bit. But he is suffering a debilitating memory loss. He was injured in his escape attempt, and is someone forgetful The other four sort of remember more involvement on the part of the Mayor's little boy, an aspiring politician if there ever was one.

But all agree on two things. One is that the infidels deserved it.

At some point in time, presumably after the torture began, one of them blasphemed Islam by praying to Jesus. Secondly, the Turkish prison is inhumane because they are in solitary confinement and are having trouble sleeping with lights on.

As to the latter point, one of the mothers of the victim pointed out that what was done to her son was inhumane.

She was told to "shut up".

Deep Fried Turkey Recipe, Texas Style


My mouth is watering already. If you haven't had a chance to savor deep fried turkey here is a terrific recipe.


Texas Monthly
Featured in the November 1998 issue of Texas Monthly
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey

“I used to hate turkey because it’s always so dry,” says Grady Spears. But four years ago, the thirty-year-old chef had a change of heart: “That year we had Thanksgiving with True Redd, this artist who has a house on Caddo Lake, in East Texas. Everybody brought a dish, and True deep-fried a turkey. It was so moist that I just loved it.”

Equipment
1 turkey cooker with a propane burner (also called a catfish cooker or crawfish boiler)
1 36- to 40-quart stockpot and basket
1 large turkey injector with needle
1 deep-fryer thermometer or candy thermometer
elbow-length oven mitts

Cinnamon-Chile Rub
1/2 cup cinnamon
1/2 cup pasilla or other red chile powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Turkey
4 to 6 gallons peanut oil (depending on size of stockpot and turkey)
3 1/2 cups chicken stock (two 14.5-ounce cans)
1/2 cup Tabasco sauce
1 turkey, 12 to 15 pounds (inside removed)
2 cups cinnamon-chile rub (recipe above)

Place the peanut oil in the stockpot on the turkey cooker and preheat to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the chicken stock and Tabasco. Place the turkey in a shallow pan or bowl. Fill the syringe with stock mixture, inject all parts of the turkey (legs, breast, thighs), and then thoroughly coat the outside of the turkey with the cinnamon-chile rub. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, place the turkey in the basket and, wearing oven mitts, carefully lower it into the stockpot. Cook for 3‡ minutes per pound (for example, a 12-pound turkey will be done in 42 minutes). Remove the turkey from the oil and drain well. Place it on your favorite platter and carve away.

Wet Noodle Posse
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey
(Most of you are thinking “Huh?” but trust me. Fried turkey is to die for and faster to cook than roasted or smoked turkey.)

1 (10- to 12-pound) turkey
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4-5 gallons peanut oil

Rinse and dry turkey after removing innards from both ends. Generously season inside of cavity with spices. Heat oil to 350-375 degrees in an outdoor deep fryer. When oil is at the right temperature, use a strong twine or rope sling to lower the turkey into the fryer. (Wear goggles; this puppy may splatter.) Cook about five minutes per pound or until meat thermometer reaches 180 degrees.

For wild turkey, cook only four minutes per pound.

D’Agostino’s Supermarkets
Texas Deep-Fried Turkey

Our neighbors in Louisiana get the credit for Cajun-fried turkey, but Texans have embraced this cooking method as if it had come from deep in the heart. All the ingredients are there to make a Texan love it: The cooking is done outdoors, it requires special equipment, the turkey cooks fast, and it is fried.

Actually, anything as big as a turkey doesn’t exactly fry when immersed in hot oil; it boils. But the end result is a moist, tender bird with a golden skin. Done correctly, it is not greasy.

Like the smoked turkey, there are plenty of places to buy a Cajun-fried turkey in most major cities. Catfish restaurants particularly like to fry whole turkeys as a holiday sideline. But if you want to try it yourself, here’s how.
You’ll need an outdoor cooker, usually gas powered, with a cooking pot large enough to hold 4 or 5 gallons of peanut oil and a turkey. Catalogs for outdoor equipment as well as hardware and camping stores often carry turkey-frying kits, priced about $50. They are worth the investment because they include lifters to make removing the turkey easier and safer.

There are also injector kits with syringes to shoot marinade into the turkey meat before frying. Otherwise, ample seasoning with salt and pepper, perhaps some cayenne, inside the turkey will do nicely.

This is a particularly good technique for wild turkey, because it keeps the lean meat very moist. As always with wild game, avoid overcooking. And don’t let the scrawny appearance of the wild bird next to that plump domestic darling bother you. It doesn’t look like a textbook turkey, but it tastes great.

Turkey Bombs Iraq: PKK Positions Attacked

Latest Turkish-PKK Tensions No Game

The start of a new war? Or just guerrilla maneuvers against previous guerrilla maneuvers?

Bombs were dropped and the Turkish military crossed into Iraq. Tensions between Turkey and Iraq are heating up now. More from Big News Network:
Turkish warplanes and helicopters struck Kurdish rebel positions in northern Iraq as diplomatic efforts began Friday to defuse tensions about separatist bases in the region.

Turkey's state-run Anatolia news agency reports that Turkish aircraft attacked suspected rebel positions detected during reconnaissance missions.

Turkey has threatened to launch cross-border military operations against rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, who have intensified attacks inside Turkey.

An Iraqi spokesman says the initial results of the talks in Ankara between an Iraqi delegation and senior Turkish officials were positive.

Turkey wanted nothing to do with Iraq when the target was Sadaam Hussein. Now that it's PKK rebels, tensions are near the breaking point on the Turkish side. This is not a condemnation of the Turks and the thorny PKK problem. Just an observation.
