Protestant Proselytizers Eye 10% of Turks

It looks like they are starting to get worried.

"Protestant missionaries are planning to proselytize some 10 per cent of Turkey's 70 million population by 2020, the Turkish army warned in a report published Friday, December 31.

Up to one million gospels are planned to be distributed among the Turkish people during this period, Turkish daily Zaman reported Friday, citing the “Proselytizing Activities in Turkey and the World” report.

The missionaries are trying to fill the “spiritual void” left by the youths' ignorance about the basic tenets and rituals of Islam, according to the report."

"The report further said that 15,000 Turks have been converted to Christianity, and other sects like Baha’iyyah over the past few years."
