Bible Belt missionaries set out on a 'war for souls' in Iraq
Edited on Tue Dec-30-03 04:29 AM by professor_pot
has anyone seen this?

American Christian missionaries have declared a "war for souls" in Iraq, telling supporters that the formal end of the US-led occupation next June will close an historic "window of opportunity".

Organising in secrecy, and emphasising their humanitarian aid work, Christian groups are pouring into the country, which is 97 per cent Muslim, bearing Arabic Bibles, videos and religious tracts designed to "save" Muslims from their "false" religion.

3. They will feed the hungry...
After all, proselytizing hypocrits are quite good when slow roasted over a medium fire with some spicy sauce.
