For what it's worth...here's my source

Turkish Press

Some are in English, some are not, but it gives a great variety to browse through.

ZAMAN

I understand exactly what good English means...

What I am hinting at is that English may in fact be the original language in which some of those articles are written...or...that translation to English may well be by native English speaking missionaries..

A simple check as to who is behind that paper, his views and ambitions, where he is currently being sheltered at will give you a fairly good idea...

Still not sure I get what you mean

missionary = a person who belongs to a religious organisation seeking to carry out charitable works and religious teaching, often combined ....................

is that what you mean by missionary? or would you prefer alternative words to describe those behind a paper?

Such as
propergandist, emissary, crusader ............... there are a few other alternatives, but I think you mean the first one!!!!

A missionary - in this context - is one whose mission is changing religious beliefs of others, usually hiding his real intentions at early stages of contact.

They do not necessarily preach one of the existing alternative divine religions; their real motives may not be religious at all. Some current missionaries are after spreading a new system of divine looking beliefs, in line with political aspirations of their patrons.

I do not understant what you are trying to say but it sounds paranoia and hate for missionaries.

I think it is pretty clear that Zaman is a religious newspaper... pro-current government, against the old president. Very biased politically.

I'm not a reader of Zaman, so I can be wrong... Is it hinduism?
