I find this a very strange thread indeed. Why are missionaries an "issue"? I have read quite a bit on this story and nowhere have I found any reference to this.
In fact, I find the concept of even asking such a thing about those who are risking their own well being, offensive.
As for christians getting a rough ride here, it is true, they do. Christian bashing is the last bastion of acceptable stupidity..talk about stereotyping...
