and Guide (eBook) Five Armenian Christians have been attacked recently
in an Istanbul neighborhood. One 85-year-old murder victim was stabbed
repeatedly and had a cross carved on her corpse.

“Opinion remains divided as to whether these are organized hate crimes
targeting non-Muslims or just random theft,” The Economist reports.

latter.”
