Re: Late night flight with a strange request...
We're getting too deep in quotes to quote you again, so let me exercise my feeble memory.
Recently several hundred Christian missionaries from the New Tribes Mission have been reported as "missing." Topically, the countries these missing missionaries were assigned to include (but are not limited to):
N. Korea (not sure of the muslim connection here)
Phillipines (supposedly a muslim terrorist stronghold)
Sudan
Syria
Saudi Arabia
Tonga
Jordan
Libya
Egypt
It is true that killing missionaries today would probably make the news in most cases, but John H was talking about hundreds of thousands of muslims killed by Israel, and of course he is spanning a length of 5,000+ years to reach that number.
There are other missionary organizations that have lost members to terrorist and/or muslim organizations in the past. You mentioned South America. Again that is a prominently Catholic continent, so nobody would be interested in suppressing that news.
I read an interesting article about an Iraqi christian family a while back on a website somewhere - probably not too accurate - but the atroicites performed on this man's family by Saddam Hussein and his henchmen were deplorable.
John H. will no doubt say this was political and not religious. Can't argue with him there. But where does it start?
