| Christian missionary to be deported from Indonesia... |
| 2002-07-12 |
| Immigration officials in West Sumatra province are planning to deport an American who converted Muslims to Christianity. Authorities on May 31 revoked Robert Anthony Adams' business visa to work on a forestry project after he angered the Muslim community of South Pesisir regency by moonlighting as a missionary. After his work visa was revoked, Adams reportedly returned to West Sumatra on a 60-day tourist visa and resumed his efforts to covert Muslims to Christianity. Adams had been working in the province as a coordinator of a forestry project funded by Global Partners, a London-based investment banking firm. The report said he had converted 123 local residents to Christianity. Horrors! Like I say, being a Muslim is like being in the Mafia: you can get in, but you can't get out. Did they chop the converts' heads off? Or just burn their houses down? |
