Protestant Proselytizers

"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 proselytizers are playing on pitting the Sunnis and the `Alawiyyin against one another to preach about the Christian faith, the report added."

"Of the converters, 185 Muslims have officially changed their religion to Christianity over the past three years and only one to Judaism, the report added.

No law explicitly prohibits proselytizing or religious conversions in Turkey. Many prosecutors and police, however, regard proselytizing and religious activism with suspicion, especially when such activities are deemed to have political overtones, according to the daily."
