International Bible Society sent 10,000 Arabic booklets entitled “Christ has
brought peace!” for Iraqis
U.S. Turns Blind Eye To “Proselytizing” In Iraq
http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2003-05/01/article13.shtml
WASHINGTON, May 1 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) ? The White House, which
fears the rise of an Islamic regime after the downfall of ousted Iraqi president
Saddam Hussein, announced last week, it wound not interfere with “
proselytizing” in Iraq, a leading U.S. magazine reported Thursday, May 1.
Upon hearing the White Hourse’s announcement, evangelical charities are now
readying their literature?albeit cautiously, given the hazard of appearing to be
“Christian crusaders,” Newsweek said.
The weekly stressed that the International Bible Society has already sent 10,000
booklets created for Iraqis entitled “Christ has brought peace!”
The society said it plans to produce at least 40,000 more copies in May, noting
that English versions were not readily available and declining to release names
of aid groups that were distributing its booklets.
The mass-circulation magazine said it is not only the International Bible
Society, which intends to send missionaries to Iraq, noting that they were all
cautions and skittish.
“We’re going to be discreet and careful,” says Robert Fetherlin, spokesman
for the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
So discreet that Fetherlin asks that “missionaries” be referred to as “
workers associated with a Christian church.”
“Proselytizing” has become a bad word too.
“I think that’s an interesting word,” says International Mission Board
spokesman Mark Kelly.
“We’re not proselytizing; we are evangelicals.” (Both words can imply an
effort to convert.)
The board’s sending food with JOHN 1:17, a Christ-centered Scripture, printed
on the boxes. Bibles will likely follow, Kelly says.
Some Christian groups aren’t taking chances. The Mormon Church?known for its
overseas proselytizing?will supply aid without religious lit.
In fact, a proposal to include letters from church members with relief was “
killed before it started,” a Mormon spokes-man says, “for fear that someone
would say something about the Christian faith.”
On March 28, the Southern Baptist Convention, the U.S. largest Protestant
denomination, and the Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse said “workers” were
on the Iraqi-Jordanian borders ready to go in as soon as it is safe.
Graham, an outspoken critic of Islam who once called it a "wicked" religion, had
also said he has relief workers "poised and ready" to go into Iraq to provide
for the populations post-war “physical and spiritual needs.”
A free lance translator told IslamOnline.net that he was approached by “some
organizations” to forge up a team of translators to carry out a translation job
from English into Arabic, adding that “extracts I saw from the project were of
a missionary nature, targeted to three countries; Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and
Iraq.”
When U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was asked about an Islamic regime in
post-war Iraq, he answered “that isn't going to happen."
