**sebelum Venezueala tercatat beberapa negara lain di Asia dan Afrika yang
telah mendeportasi para misionaris agresif dan militan (baca: ngga tau adat dan
malu) dari negara mereka. Pemerintah Indonesia kapan? Malah terbawa permainan

India to deport US missionaries

The missionaries were attacked by a Hindu mob in India's western city Mumbai
(Bombay) on Saturday evening during a Bible reading session.
Police said three of them were treated for bruises and cuts in a hospital.
One of the assailants was released on bail after allegedly abducting one of the
missionaries who are accused of trying to convert local Hindus.
'Stern action'
Police told the BBC that the men entered India on tourist visas, but were found
preaching religion.
They say two of them have already left Mumbai, and the other two are waiting to
catch the next available flight.
Police say a group of local Hindus beat up the missionaries, because they
angered over their attempts to convert local Hindus.
But the missionaries told the police they were only holding a Bible reading
session.
Mumbai Christians have condemned the attack, and urged the police to take stern
action against those involved in the attack.
Dolphy D'Souza of the Bombay Catholics Sabha has accused the police of being
lenient towards those involved in the attack.
But police say they have registered a case of abduction against one of the
assailants who was produced in court and released on bail after the abducted
missionary reappeared on Sunday morning.
Christians are often accused of forcibly converting the poor in India by
bribing them with money and jobs.
But this is denied by the Christian community, which accounts for about two
percent of India's one billion population.
Six years ago, a Hindu mob burnt alive an Australian missionary and his two
young sons in the eastern state of Orissa.
The man charged with their murder was sentenced to death, but last month his
sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
