The goose and the gander
Apparently it's okay for muslims in Indonesia to resist what they see as attempts by Christians to convert their children.
- The Virginia-based missionary group WorldHelp has dropped its plans to place 300 Muslim "tsunami orphans" in a Christian children's home, the group's president, the Rev. Vernon Brewer, told news agencies Thursday.
- The group's plan to raise children from Muslim families in a Christian home struck a sensitive nerve in Indonesia, which had regulations in place even before the tsunami requiring orphans to be raised by people of their own religion. This rule was adopted in large part to ensure that Muslim children were not converted.
