American missionaries gunned down for 'preaching Christianity' (OneNewsNow.com)

American missionaries gunned down for 'preaching Christianity' (OneNewsNow.com): "KABUL, Afghanistan - Taliban terrorists have declared they shot and killed a team of missionaries, including six Americans, because they were 'preaching Christianity.'

Ten members of a medical team, including six Americans, were shot and killed by the Islamic terrorists as they were returning from providing eye treatment and other health care in remote villages of northern Afghanistan, a spokesman for the team said Saturday.

Dirk Frans, director of the International Assistance Mission, said one German, one Briton and two Afghans also were a part of the team that made the two-week trip to Nuristan province. They drove to the province, left their vehicles and hiked for hours over mountainous terrain to reach the Parun valley in the province's northwest.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press in Pakistan that they killed the foreigners because they were 'spying for the Americans' and 'preaching Christianity.'

Frans said the International Assistance Mission is registered as a nonprofit Christian organization but it does not proselytize.

Maybe Obama didn't apologize enough to them to make them calm down and not kill people "preaching Christianity". Did he not bow low enough? Maybe it is time for a strongly worded letter??? Knowing Obama, he will make NO remarks about this at all. He seems after all to still be a great believer in Islam.~~ the Munz
