Not all Turks are tolerant either
Many Muslims are concerned about increasing intolerance in Western Europe. Switzerland, for example, recently imposed a ban on the construction of minarets. There were angry reactions in many Islamic countries, including Turkey. But what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? How tolerant are Turks towards the Christian minority in their own country?
The trial of Ismail Aydin's attacker is due to start on Tuesday. If found guilty, he could face a jail sentence of up to 16 years.
