Historic Church Service in Mardin, Turkey, Marred by Attack on Christian Family
Barnabas Fund ^ | 6/13/22

A Christian family were attacked in a village in Mardin province, south-eastern Turkey, shortly before a church service on Sunday, June 5.

The service in Mor Gevargis Assyrian Church, Brahîmîye village, was the first held in the building in almost 100 years, after renovation work which began in 2015.

The Yilmaz family – the only Assyrian family who live in the village – were attacked at their home by a group of around 50 Muslims. The family were at the time entertaining visiting clergy who had come to officiate at the service.

The attackers were led by a Muslim family with whom the Yilmaz family have had a long-standing dispute over land.

The mob attacked the home with stones, sticks and other weapons. They then set fire to wheat being grown by the Yilmaz family. None of the family were injured, and the fire was eventually extinguished after witnesses alerted the police.

Some members of the Muslim family were arrested in connection with the incident.

Unfortunately, here in America, 1A has been completely replaced since the 1960s with a national religion of “diversity” and “multiculturalism” so these savages will soon be invading your neighborhoods. Leftists, communists, and neoCONs demand open borders, diversity, and they demand the great replacement of Christendom.

Because “diversity” is our national religion. Replacing Judeo-Christianity since the 1960s.
