Afghanistan
Daggone Christians subverting innocent Muslims
2003-04-24
Extracted from a much longer, but just as vitriolic, rant on the Jamaat ad-Dawa (Lashkar e-Taiba) website...
The education system [in Afghanistan] has been contracted out to Christian NGOs. During the Taliban era, these organizations were under a strict check for their main objective was preaching against Islam and for Christianity. It is not a hollow allegation as the Taliban had recovered a huge quantity of venomous literature in Afghanistan’s official languages Darri and Pushto from an office of the Shelter Now organization in Kabul. Now, under the rule of the Northern Alliance, these organizations are establishing themselves on sound footing, as there is no check on their activities. Their main target is the orphaned children of the Taliban and the Arabs martyred in the incessant and inhuman US bombing.

These organizations have given admission to hundreds of orphan and shelterless children in missionary institutions, providing them education as well as lodging facilities free of cost. These organizations have also offered to the Afghan government that they are ready to take away these children to their base countries for their better care. These NGOs are giving the impression to the government that all this is being done for the help of war affected children. However, their actual mission is to train these children under the supervision of Christian teachers. After the completion of their education, they will be anything but a Muslim. Apparently they will be Afghans and Muslims by their names but actually they will be Christians in their beliefs.

The 23-year war has rendered seven million Afghans shelterless and orphaned more than five hundred thousand children less than 12 years of age. In Palestine, victims of Jewish tyranny and oppression Muslims are facing the same situation. Christian missionary organizations in the name of sympathy are active to provide a full generation of traitors like Yasser Arafat to Palestinians. Similar is the condition in the refugee camps of Arakani Muslims in Bangladesh. Christian missionary journals are proudly giving statistics about the converts there.

Sounds like pretty sour grapes to me. Far, far better that the children should be taken into madrassahs and turned into cannon fodder who've only ever read a single book in their lives. But the madrassahs seem to be full, and the Christians are picking up the overflow. One can imagine the venom dripping from the Christian literature. (The Watchtower's full of it, so you can see for yourself next time they come around...)

All those orphans of the Afghans and Arabs — "Are there no poor laws? Are the workhouses all full?" Better they should be shipped off someplace like Soddy Arabia, where they can grow to adulthood in an Islamic paradise. That's half a million potential gunnies, down the drain. And damn that Arafat, that Christian traitor...

#2  The Islamists are tribal types...blood is thicker than water. Their Islam has no room for anyone else. Any other kind of thought is a threat to their existance. Christian missionaries come along, give their sales pitch, and they go nuts. Until the Islamists can be more accommodating, nothing will change. And change is going to be tumultous and violent....for a while, and the violence will come from Mahmoud and Co.

#1  Are not Christians also "People of the Book". Where is the Islamic charity for these orphans?
