TURKEY: The Turkish Islamic Foundation destroyed the historic St. Georgios Greek Orthodox Church in Bursa on Wednesday, seven years after local officials transferred the property to the group’s control. Authorities emptied Bursa of its Greek Orthodox population a century ago, and the church became a mosque in the 1920s.
On newsstands outside the courtroom in Paris, the latest issue of a French satirical newspaper reprinted the caricatures of Islam’s Muhammad that sparked deadly shootings in January 2015. Spectators went through police checkpoints in the secured building as the trial began on Wednesday for suspects in the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices and a kosher supermarket in Paris that killed 17 people over three days.
