Charles Clément Boniface Ozdemir, AKA Father Samuel ICLA speech July 9 2012

 

He is a Syrian/Assyrian Catholic priest that fled Turkey in 1970' to Beligium because of persecution of Christians in Turkey then. His name is Charles Clément Boniface (Father Samuel) and was actually born in Turkey as Samuel Ozdemir but rejects that name because he says it was forced upon him by the Turks. In Belgium Father Samuel was prosecuted by the Belgian government for his criticism of Islam. The trial lasted six years but he was ultimately acquitted.

In the video he is in Belgium earlier this summer, speaking out against Islam at the International Civil Liberties Alliance (ICLA). Six years later, after being acquitted, Father Samuel is finally being listened to.
