Wow. A thread about Christian missionaries being barred in Israel (that has zero to do with Islam) and Sally still finds away to bash away at Muslims. Can't you ever discuss the topic?
Maybe (novel idea) Guno wants to discuss the topic he started, and not your incessent thread derailments...
Proselytizing is strictly a Christian and Muslim affair. Moonies too I think. But not Jews. Nor Hindus.
Yeah, little old Coyote cares nothing aboutg the blood running down the streets of the Muslim Middle East countries. She felt that it was more important to get in on a thread about missionizing. Why doesn't Coyote tell us about all the Muslims who have converted to Christianity or have become Atheists but are afraid to speak up because they know they will be harassed by their friends and relatives and even worse killed for their decision to drop out of Islam.
You know Sally, you could attempt to actually discuss the topic instead of spewing your hate about Muslims on every topic you post.
Missionaries are a plague sometimes - it's not always about "good works" it's about "conversions". We are blessed to live in a country that gives the freedom to worship what we want and to be able to speak freely about it - even if it means shutting the door in the face of a missionary who won't take "no" for an answer.
I remember when we first invaded Iraq, Christian missionaries were lined up at the border waiting for the go-ahead like a plague of locusts. They didn't care that their conversions could lead to the deaths of the people they converted in rural villages ruled by barbaric principles. They didn't give a damn about those people or what could happen to them after they left - all they cared about was getting the word out and convert convert convert.
I don't have much respect for that. Nor do I have respect for people who break the laws of the host country. If the country
has a law against prosylitizing than don't proselatyze. And many of them do - not just Muslim countries or Israel.
If Israel wants to limit it, it's their right as a country. Any country has that right - though the death penalty is way exreme.
Missionaries can be good when they respect the traditions, lives and beliefs of the people they are working amongst and they can be pestulant when they tread over them without regard.
Now maybe you can talk about the issue, or, are we going to hear another (predictable) schpeil about how I or someone else here could care less about what Muslims are doing to Christians or other folks or anything where Muslims are perpetrating something in some other godforsaken part of the world. It's so predictable I wonder if you are a bot pretending to be a human because I doubt you really care unless Muslims are committing violence
