Villagers furious with Christian Missionaries
Samanthapettai, Jan 16 (ANI): Rage and fury has gripped this tsunami-hit tiny Hindu village in India's southern Tamil Nadu after a group of Christian missionaries allegedly refused them aid for not agreeing to follow their religion.
Jubilant at seeing the relief trucks loaded with food, clothes and the much-needed medicines the villagers, many of who have not had a square meal in days, were shocked when the nuns asked them to convert before distributing biscuits and water. Heated arguments broke out as the locals forcibly tried to stop the relief trucks from leaving.
The missionaries, who rushed into their cars on seeing television reporters and the cameras refusing to comment on the incident and managed to leave the village. Disappointed and shocked into disbelief the hapless villagers still await aid.

Oh, no way! That can't be true, can it?
Christian love. This happened a lot in Kosovo with American Protestant groups. Seems surprising for Catholics though these days.
No way to justify their actions; the use or should I say misuse of someone's money.
Don't tell me they couldn't at least have gotten the name of those scum masquerading as samaritans.
fucking assholes!
That's awful and disgusting. How unloving is that? Ugh. Makes me want to vomit.
Can you feel the (Christian) love?
