"Istanbul: Muslims offer to give blood to save life of priest
After a Catholic priest was stabbed by a mentally-ill man in Samsun, Turkey, on Sunday, many local Muslims went to the hospital where he was being treated to offer their blood.
Fr George Marovitch, spokesman of the Turkish Bishops' Conference, told Fides that the attack on French missionary priest Fr Pierre Brunissen was an isolated incident. He said: ' This was the act of a mad man which does no good to the image of Turkey. It was an isolated episode: there is no tension or violence and Christian/Muslim relations are good as usual.'"
