[From The Church Next Door: Local Christians Face America’s New Religious Diversity, draft manuscript by Dr. Paul D. Numrich.  Please do not quote or cite without author’s permission.]

One day a few years ago, evangelist <b>John Bushi</b> stopped in to a small gift shop run out of Suburban Chicago Mennonite Church to see if it carried any items from <b>his native India.</b>
[...]

But he thinks that a societal rise in secularism and tolerance for religious diversity has emboldened Hindus.  “[Society] says you can believe in any god, so we have religious freedom.  They say that there is no need of prayer in the schools, at Christmastime don’t use Christ’s name in any public places, and even the Supreme Court takes out the 10 Commandments.  So these guys [Hindus] get some kind of encouragement, ‘OK, we can have our own idols, we can have our practice.’  So they become stronger and stronger.  And Hindus never stop at one place.  If they are allowed to go in a evangelistic way, they will try to change and convert people because they also believe in the same kind of conversion that we talk about.”  Rev. Bushi identified several strategies used by Hindu temples to attract new members, such as free medical care, classical Indian dance classes, and yoga instruction.

            <b>For Rev. Bushi, this Hindu assertiveness is a harbinger of ill for America.</b>  “I take it seriously that this country is blessed because of prayers and [Christian] values.  But slowly these values are going away because people are not paying attention.  <b>So once these idol worshipers come and bring evil things into the society, then probably we will face a lot of problems.”</b>

It's not "missionaries" that are the problem, it's christianism. It would be a beginning when more people start acknowledging that, instead of couching terrorism in sensitive terms in order to not offend minorities.
