Christian converts on trial in Turkey


Turkey is often held as an example of a nation with a Mohammedan majority that utilizes democratic institutions. If that is true, then democracy does not mean freedom of thought or religion. The Turkish government is charging two of their citizens for the crime of converting to Christianity. It is considered a hate crime to convert away from Mohammedanism because it is against the law to insult “Turkishness.”
