A new storm is brewing in the world of Da Vinci theorists after a mysterious group claimed it has used mirrors to uncover hidden biblical images in some of the great masterâs most famous works.
# Leondardo Da Vinci may have been an Arab

( Shame to humanity) Vatican defends 'right and duty' to convert members of other faiths

December 14, 2007
Earth Times

Vatican City, - The Vatican on Friday defended the "right and duty" of Catholics to do missionary work aimed at converting people from other religions and other Christian denominations. The assertion came in a document titled "Doctrinal Note on some aspects of Evangelization", issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, the Vatican's department in charge of matters of church orthodoxy.

Lamenting what it said was "growing confusion" about the Catholic Church's missionary mandate, the document stressed that that evangelization or spreading of the church's message is "an inalienable right and duty, an expression of religious liberty".

Respect for religious freedom and its promotion "must not in any way make us indifferent towards truth and goodness. Indeed love impels the followers of Christ to proclaim to all the truth which saves", the 19-page document said.

Similar proclamations by the Vatican that the Roman Catholic Church believes its message to be the "truth" and that its mission is to make converts, has angered leaders of other Christian and non- Christian faiths.

But the Vatican's top Indian-born cleric, Cardinal Ivan Dias, said he believed the "vast majority" of Hindus - the largest religious group in India - would welcome the document.

"Most Hindus have a millenarian tradition of religious tolerance," Dias who heads Vatican's department in charge of missionary work, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, said speaking at a news conference presenting the document.

Hindus "respect our honesty in declaring our beliefs about the founder (Christ) of our religion without attempting to dilute our message," Dias said.

Past episodes of intolerance against Catholic missionaries in India was the work of "a Hindu minority that grabbed the headlines" Dias said.

Christianity along with many other religions, originated in Asia, which has a long tradition of culture and faiths " each of which contains praiseworthy values," Dias said.

However, some of these other religions and cultures' practices "were not consistent with the Christian ethos, for example the caste system, revenge laws, social condition of women, treatment of widows and prejudices against the birth of female children," Dias said.

The document also addressed the issue of Catholic evangelization in countries where other Christians live, stating that Catholics must carry out their mission with "true respect for the tradition and spiritual riches of such countries as well as a sincere spirit of co- operation".

In July a similar document by the Vatican which said that non- Catholic Christian denominations were not full churches of Jesus Christ, drew criticism from Protestant and Orthodox leaders, especially from the Moscow Patriarchate.

Friday's document did not specifically deal with the Catholic Church's relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church, but "respect for the sensibilities" of denominations who were "recovering from years of living under Communist atheist regimes," was required, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Cardinal Willam Levada said speaking at the news conference..

The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, was headed for many years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope Benedict XVI.

QUOTEAfrica's stolen lives
5:00AM Sunday December 16, 2007
By Jonathan Brown

[image caption:] About 12,000 West African children are taken by slave traders each year. Photo / Reuters

William Koua's story of how he tracked down four children, including his son Gilbert, trafficked by an unscrupulous pastor, has highlighted the illegal trade in children in the Ivory Coast.

The arrival last April of a charismatic preacher called the Rev Siehi, promising to open a new school, seemed like manna from heaven for the desperately poor village of Zeaglo, population 6000.

One of three new classrooms was soon complete and the children started attending lessons. But after only six weeks of study, the preacher suggested that the brightest children might be better accommodated at another institution down the road. He picked four - aged between 2 and 5, and members of the Gere tribe.

Their parents were grateful for the opportunity for their children, and gathered to wave them off as they boarded a bus one evening. It soon became clear that all was not well when a worker from Save the Children asked to see some documentation confirming the move. There was none.
(I may be wrong, but "Save the Children" sounds like another christian child/death trap. African parents in their desperation need to turn to a christian org to save their kids from other christians? Things are looking very bleak indeed.)

Koua's wife, Ange-Sylvie, had just given birth to her third child when Gilbert boarded the bus. "The day he disappeared I felt completely lost - like I did not know who I was anymore," she said.

Trafficking in children is big business in the Ivory Coast, with gangs and individuals all too willing to exploit traditional kinship practices in which children are sent to live with better-off relatives.

The traffickers bring about 12,000 children from across West Africa each year to toil as virtual slaves in the country's cocoa plantations. A smaller number are set to work for as little as Â£1 ($2.60) a day in Ivorian gold mines.
(Pastor is doing the christian thing: precisely what other christians before him did when they kidnapped Africans and made them work at plantations in the Americas.)

It is estimated 2000 trafficked girls are consigned annually to a life as bonded domestic servants in Abidjan, where sexual exploitation is an ever-present danger. Others find themselves sent for illegal adoptions overseas.
(Only affluent countries overseas adopt. And affluent countries are largely of a particular ideological persuasion.
The correct description for what's going on is Child Trafficking to the first world. And it's always christians that are behind these adoption agency projects. Just like in India
When children are stolen from Samoan mothers by unscrupulous western 'adoption agencies', these last argue most 'ethically' about how the adoptive parents in the west have more money and can give a better life for 'third world' baby. See how the logic is infallible. Remember: What's theirs is theirs and what's yours is theirs. No one cares that Samoan or African mum invested 9 months and thereafter all their love in rearing their child, not to mention that it's the actual parents' child in the first place.)

Koua travelled to Abidjan where he began his search, with help from Save the Children. After two months, the farmer located an address and a telephone number for Siehi. "When I rang him he was very cool and relaxed. He actually invited me to his house," recalled Koua. But what he found was deeply disturbing.

The four children had been separated. One of the girls, Veronique, was with the pastor, another, Linda, had been billeted with a powerful local government official who had paid the pastor Â£250 to procure a light-skinned daughter for a childless friend living in France.
(Nausea attack. Must find basin.)

The other two were being kept at separate locations. Koua eventually arranged to see the children one by one, remaining as cool as he could for fear of jeopardising their safety.

Though improving, the Ivory Coast fails to meet even the most basic minimum international standards on trafficking, though a draft bill formally outlawing the trade is pending.

But with a powerful international aid organisation on his side, Koua found the police willing to take his story seriously. The pastor was arrested and is in jail awaiting trial and the children are all safely back home with relatives.
(Oh please. Powerful christian aid organisations are a major part of the problem. Next to organising the trade of children (like Guatamalan kids stolen from their parents and who form a major supply for adoption centres in the US, and of course Samoan children, and Hindu Indian kids kidnapped from their families and sent to christian adopters 'overseas'), christian orgs also keep the slave trade in Africa operating in full swing. In particular in Sudan - where the islamis are guilty of kidnapping-and-slave-trading the African population - christian organisations are guilty of further encouraging the slave trade by buying the victims into 'freedom' (victim then feels compelled/brainwashed to show their gratitude by living a christian life of 'freedom'). Though Sudan's islamis are the ones enslaving people, overseas christian NGOs are tipping the market forces such that the slave trade continues. And the end result is that more Africans are fed to one or other of the jehova-allah combine.)

Bible distribution plans moving forward in Orissa State.
Print ViewMobile VersionPosted: 1 March, 2007

India (MNN) â In spite of Orissa State's 1999 anti-conversion law, there are still evangelistic projects going on in this hostile part of India. The Freedom of Religion Act of 1967 was amended in 1999 to narrow its focus.

Following that, it became known that people could be punished for not informing the state about their plans to convert. But that got taken further by enforcing punishment for those involved in conversions.

A 'Chilling effect' was feared to follow, but instead, the opposite phenomenon occurred. The church, according to many evangelical groups, grew. Coupled with the timing of the Dalit's rejecting Hinduism and embracing other faiths, the pace of church growth quickened.

World Bible Translation Center's Gary Bishop says they're excited about their newest undertaking. "We're going to have the first mass distribution of Bibles this year, in 2007. This is going to be kind of an historic thing because we're going to do 30-thousand Oriya Bibles in the Orissa State."

Bishop says there's a high population of poor people who are not well-educated. That's the perfect place for them to bring in Easy-to-Read Version Bibles. It's available in 13 of the most spoken languages of India.

With the Scriptures aimed at a third grade reading level, more people can understand the gospel and respond. By the year 2010, they want to distribute 1 million Bibles, 2 million New Testaments and 5 million Scripture portions worldwide.

Working in this part of India will likely prove a difficult challenge, and they're asking for help. "We, first of all, need to have people praying for our team there. We have 400 volunteers that have agreed to help distribute these texts through 30 districts. So, we need to pray for their safety, for them to have courage in the face of certain opposition."

If things stay on track, Bishop notes, they could begin the distribution as early as mid-2007. Before that, the text, which was completed in 2005, has to be printed, bound and shipped. Funding becomes a issue at this stage in the project. If you want to help, click here.

I studied in an Anglo-Indian (Christian) school all my life with the exception of high school. I went to a Roman Catholic College (Loyola) and most of my friends from my childhood are Anglo Indians. Some of my closest friends in the present day are Anglo Indians / Christians too.

Back in my good old school days I was preached over and over again by the Christian school that Jesus is the only god and that there is no other god. Come out of school you have these prayer houses which have posters all over the place stating up front that all Hindu gods are variations of the devil or so called saiton.

What I find stunning is how systematic the operation is. Wow!
This should be a very instructive lesson to those who may be contemplating admitting their children to Christian-run schools. A child or even a young teen should not be subjected to such religions (I speak of those whose doctrines and systems of faith are in clear conflict with the tenets of our own dharma). A child, unable to reconcile Hinduism with such a belief system, will end up rejecting all faith-systems, including the traditions and faith of his forefathers.

This is also a good reason why one should avoid having Christian friends at all. I recommend this both for adults (to serve as a good model to our children), and for our children.

QUOTEReligions on the Indian subcontinent have jostled with each other for millenniums. Invaders spread Hinduism and Islam through conquest, followed by British Christians who hoped to create "brown Englishmen." The Christian zeal for conversions ebbed in India after a nearly successful Indian rebellion in 1857 and a theological trend toward good works, such as improving education and healthcare.

"Christians are being killed," Varghis admitted in the video, "But we are dedicated to build North India for Christ."

The problem with these newer churches, Alter says, is the tone of their message. "You have Baptists using the Diwali festival [the Hindu festival of lights], but they come to 'spread the light to those in darkness.' That is mighty offensive stuff, when you're out to tear down another religion."

QUOTE Seer defends Naveen govt
Cuttack, Dec. 27: Describing the spate of violence in Kandhamal as a ânatural reactionâ, Swami Laxmananda Saraswati today gave a clean chit to the Naveen Patnaik administration, saying that no government could have controlled such a âbacklashâ.

The attack on the 83-year-old Swami on December 24 had triggered violence across the tribal-dominated district and had spread to adjoining Gajapati, too.

Though the Swami believes that the âviolence was spontaneousâ, the attack on him âwas orchestratedâ, to eliminate him. âAnd that has put the regionâs Hindus on the defensive,â he said, while talking to The Telegraph from the SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack. The leader looked weak, but well, lying on his bed at cabin number 3 at the hospitalâs surgery department.

When asked if the Naveen government could have acted sooner before the violence, he said: âNo government could have controlled a backlash, especially when it is spontaneous.â âThe key to peace in Kandhamal and adjoining regions would be the stateâs reassurance to check conversion of tribals by Christian missionaries,â said the Swami.

The Orissa government has already introduced a law wherein before converting, an individual has to seek police permission. The move was designed as a âdeterrentâ to conversion. âBut the process continue just the same, though at a reduced pace, as covert operations at villages in remote areas,â the Swami regretted.

The Swami, known for his untiring zeal to check conversion of tribals into Christians in the entire southern and western Orissa, has been running the Shankaracharya Sanskruta Kanya Ashram at Jalespata, 30km south of Baliguda in Khandhamal for more than three decades now.

He was attacked near Dasingbadi, 5km from Daringbadi around noon on December 24 while he was on his way to Brahmanigaon in a Marshal jeep to perform a yagna. Five others, including an APR personnel provided by the government, were accompanying him.

âIt was only by gods grace that I survived,â said the swami.

Naresh Kanhar (40), who managed to drive the jeep away from the spot said: âA bus was parked on the road in front of our jeep, blocking the way. A tree was cut to block our way back. They were more than 50 of them armed with axes and other weapons,â said the driver.

Bhubaneswar Jani (24), the APR personnel provided by the government as a bodyguard to the Swami, admitted that the attack was âterribleâ.

QUOTEThis article should be read in context with the recent murder attempt on a frail 80 year old Tribal Dalit Hindu Saint in Orissa by Foreign funded Christian Fundamentalists

By Sandhya Jain - June 24, 2007
Teresa betrayed those who generously supported her work because they did not realize how her twisted premises chocked all efforts to alleviate misery. Most donations simply remained in her bank accounts. The world now needs to know through a multi-nation enquiry.

In virtually simultaneous exposes, CNN-IBN has revealed that Western-funded NGOs in Bodhgaya are abusing small children for labour, conversion and molestation, while a Catholic Sister who worked for Mother Teresaâs Missionaries of Charity has confessed quitting in âdisgust over the misuse of millions in charitable donations that never got to their destination - the poor and afflicted.â

The Poor Christian Liberation Movement (PCLM) has for years been demanding a hundred year moratorium on conversions and a detailed scrutiny of the manner in which the Church utilises funds received from abroad, as this has failed to improve the lot of converts in any tangible manner. The very fact that Christian organisations and politicians are trying to get SC/ST benefits extended to converts proves that the various church denominations have no intention of uplifting the poor converts in a meaningful way once they have been converted.

It follows that funds received by Christian organisations or Church-friendly NGOs is used purely for allurement purposes, or to set up âcharitableâ institutions availing government subsidies while maintaining money like corporates, such as hospitals or professional colleges. These now require a comprehensive national review.

CNN-IBN found that Samanvaya Ashram, an NGO funded by Mr. Sandeep Pandeyâs ASHA, which receives foreign funds, sheltering children from the Dalit-Bhuiyan community, was subjecting children as young as five years old to illegal labour at the Ashram. Those children had to wash clothes, cook in the Ashram kitchen, fetch water, and plough the fields. The channel found that foreigners run shelters that are actually dens for paedophiles and child-molesters. Gaya police say they canât act without formal complaints, but admit many NGOs have a conversion agenda; many foreign countries send huge sums for this purpose. 

Meanwhile, years after Germanyâs Stern magazine exposed Mother Teresaâs money-making and non-performing charities. Susan Shields, who worked nine years as a Catholic Sister with the Missionaries of Charity, has gone public with how she quit in 1989. Shields gave her story to the Arctic Beacon, it was printed in the Free Inquiry Magazine, and exposes how Mother Teresa ignored the poor while stashing millions of dollars in donations in Vatican bank accounts.

Shields worked with Missionaries of Charity in the Bronx, Rome, and San Francisco, till May 1989. She took years to unravel the life she lived there, and finally came to the conclusion that Mother Teresaâs religious congregation rested upon three dangerous teachings, which really amounted to mind control. These are - as long as a nun obeys (Teresa) she is doing Godâs will; the sisters have leverage over God by choosing to suffer; and any attachment to human beings, even the poor, interferes with love of God and must be avoided at all costs.

Surprisingly, Shields says these were old Church beliefs, and Teresa only enforced them vigorously. But once indoctrinated thus, a sister would allow her health to be destroyed, neglect those she vowed to serve, and switch off her feelings and independent thought. She would be indifferent to suffering, carry tales about fellow sisters, tell lies, and ignore public laws and regulations. As a result, many of the sisters who trusted Mother Teresa âhave become broken people.. their self-confidence has been destroyed.â Many lack education and do not know how to quit. Says Shields, âI was one of the lucky ones who mustered enough courage to walk away.â

Even more than those who joined, Teresa betrayed those who generously supported her work because they did not realise how her twisted premises chocked all efforts to alleviate misery. Most donations simply remained in her bank accounts. The world now needs to know through a multi-nation enquiry if Vatican funds are used for conversion in third world countries, or for political purposes like regime change in target countries, as for instance, Poland under Pope John Paul II.

Shieldsâ testimony is important because she was deputed to record donations and write receipts in the form of thank-you letters. Money would often come in sacks; receipts for cheques of $50,000 and more were received regularly. The money came for âthe starving people in Africa, the flood victims in Bangladesh , or the poor children in India. Most of the money sat in our bank accounts.â

The donations, she continues, rolled in but had no effect on the lives of the poor. A degrading spirit of poverty was maintained in the organisation. In Haiti , the sisters re-used needles until they became blunt. Seeing the pain they caused, some volunteers offered to procure more needles, but the sisters refused. The issue here may be more serious that the pain caused to the recipients of charity - an honest investigation is required into the endemic spread of certain diseases in poor parts of the globe, diseases through which White Western pharmaceutical companies are earning literally billions and trillions of dollars annually. And they are using WTO to prevent the manufacture and sale of cheap bulk drugs!

Even food was not purchased for the poor if local merchants did not give it free, when the organisation sat on hefty resources. Everyone was used as a resource - airlines were requested to fly sisters and air cargo free; hospitals and doctors asked to absorb costs of treatment for the sisters; workmen asked not to take payment; etc. Shields found it nauseating that she wrote thousands of letters to donors assuring them that their entire gift would be used for the benefit of the poorest of the poor. When it became too much, she had to quit.

QUOTEMaoists suspected to be behind Kandhamal violence

Pioneer News Service | Bhubaneswar

The Maoist cadre in Kandhamal district are reported to be under the scanner of the security forces, following reports of their backing the Christian community in the ongoing clash in the tribal dominated district.

Kandhamal is surrounded by dense jungle from all sides including Deogarh, Gajapati, Rayagada, Nayagarh and Ganjam. The inhospitable terrain of Kandhamal bordering four Maoist-infested districts have come in handy for the militants.

A large number of Maoist cadre have reportedly entered into Kandhamal border through Gajapati since the violence broke out following the attack on Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, sources maintained.

Kandhamal has porous borders at Adaba in Gajapati, Gunupur in Rayagada, Soroda in Ganjam and from all corners of Deogarh district, which has further widened the possibilities.

Sources said that there are already more than 100 Maoist training camps functioning in Kandhamal Besides, Maoists have their central armoury here due to safety reasons.

While talking to The Pioneer, Director General of Police Gopal Nanda said, " We have no specific information but we can't outright rejected such possibilities. We need to look into the issues seriously and the situation gradually changing in Kandhamal."

However, IGP (Special Armed Forces) Pradeep Kapoor, who is camping at the district headquarters town of Phulbani, denied such speculation. "The matter must be carefully taken up," he said.Â

QUOTEChristianization of AP: Politicians chasing Christian votebank
December 29, 2007

Andhra Pradesh : Due to rampant Christianization of southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Indian politicians who are known for their low ethics and morals are chasing the Christian votebank.Â On the other side the evangelical groups have penetrated every politicial party and created an environment wherein their activities continue unabated irrespective of the ruling party.Â They keep every politican party in good humor by means of huge donations and baiting with vote banks.Â Under these circumstances no party will rescue indigeneous tribes from poaching by missionaries.

Asking IF's indulgence for posting some very old news here (2001). Though I'd never come across it until a recent week.

QUOTEâWhy does the Evangelical Church secretly sponsor a mass conversion of untouchable Hindus to Buddhism?" by Sanal Edamaruku in Rationalist International, Bulletin Nr. 83, November 29, 2001. It is available on Net at http://www.Rationalistinternational.net/ar...ist_2001/83.htm. Sanal Edamaruku is an atheist, and, presumably, his views could not have been influenced by any liking for Hinduism
From the link mentioned in the above quoteblock (purple stuff's my own):
QUOTEOfficial organizer of the Delhi meeting was the "All India Conference of Scheduled Castes and Tribes", an umbrella organization of government employees with a membership of more than three millions. Secret wire puller and financier of the event, however, was the All India Christian Council (AICC), an outfit of the Evangelical Church, which comprises of all kinds of neo-protestant "born-again" and missionary organizations and is dominated by Baptists and Pentacostals. Special guests on the dias were AICC president Dr. Joseph D'Souza, vice-president John Dayal and general secretary Dr. K P Yohannan. Dayal, a retired journalist, is the key figure of the recent PR-campaigns, projecting harassment of Christians in India, which are securing substantial support from Christians in the USA. Yohannan is the dynamic top conversion driver of the Pentacostals in their hotbed Kerala and known for his enormous capacities to mobilize Dollar donations.
(Isn't Dayal a Catholic? Hey, then most major christian cults were represented.
Remembered coming across something on Yohannan - will paste it below.)

Why does the Evangelical network sponsor a mass conversion of Hindus to Buddhism?

A PR-campaign, launched in June for supporters and donators in the USA and elsewhere, opened hearts and purses by giving the wrong impression that a big catch was heading straightly for the Christian net. "Gospel for Asia", the "largest church-planting movement in the subcontinent", started focussing on the plight of the Dalits and their plan to leave Hinduism. "â¦ The news from around India is that Dalits also plan to move to the Christian faith. The Indian church is therefore presented with a challenge of enormous proportions. It will either stand or fall by the stand it takes during the coming months", informed AICC-president D'Souza. He added carefully: "The Church will also have to support the larger move of the Dalits because it represents freedom of choice, â¦ and now will have to respect and support whatever choices the Dalits makeâ¦."

This was the time when a movement for Dalit Human Rights started to get international attention in connection with the Durban World Conference Against Racism. The Evangelical Church sailed with the wind and sponsored - under the shroud of secrecy - the participation of 300 Dalits in the Durban conference, the biggest, best-coordinated and most vocal group. There was, of course, a strategy behind the generous support. The Durban conference, was the calculation, would cause great embarrassment to the Indian government. Already blamed for Hindu fanatic leanings, they would be held responsible for Human Rights violations against the Dalits, and under scrutiny by a sensibilized international public, they would have to carefully avoid any future offence against them. The Dalits would - in a new sense - become truly "untouchable". So beneficial this outcome may be, it was not for the Dalits' sake that their cause was supported. They were only build up to become proper carthorses for vested interests.

On 7 September, immediately after the Durban conference, a meeting took place in Hyderabad. 740 Evangelical leaders and 26 Dalit leaders discussed the further procedure and fixed the date for the first one million conversions. The AICC leaders started to "mobilize the Church body to respond to this most urgent challenge". Excited newsletters started rejoicing through cyberspace announcing a miracle: 300 millions of Hindus have expressed the heart's desire to join Christianity! Can you help them? - Money flew generously. But while advertising the big catch, the AICC leaders knew and appreciated very well that the Dalits would convert to Buddhism only. Their targets were not the converts of Delhi, though they used them to water their donators' mouths. Their plan was to use the Buddhist conversions as a wedge to open the gates of India for the great millennium crusade. This plan could only succeed under the condition that the missionary finger in the pie remained unseen in India.
(Percentage of Harijan population seems rather exaggerated to me - are they including Girijan and most other Hindu communities in there as well? Anyone have any figures for actual demographics on this?
I think CIA info is laughable, but for the purpose of showing the inconsistency in American/missionary information: the CIA site lists India's ethnic demographics as "75% Indo-Aryan" - whatever that ridiculous statement may mean - but isn't the spin usually that the Oryans were the oppressors? Still going by CIA 'logic' then, I presume that the racist CIA twats don't include Girijan population in the Indo-Oryan bunch either. So my questions is: how did they work out the 300 million? Or is this just another case of christian maths?)

The Anti-Conversion-Bill, established in the early fifties, long before the now ruling Hindu party came to power, bans proselytizing by force or by promise of advantage. Change of religion is only allowed as considered individual decision. The old missionary practice of mass conversions, threatening uneducated poor people or luring them with little gifts and promises in order to baptize them village by village and tribe by tribe, is punishable. Major parts of India's North East have been conquered this way. And missionaries still try to advance into the tribal areas using the rough conversion method of St. Francis Xavier, who managed to obtain permission of the local King to baptize in seven days as many of the poor fishermen as he could. His proselytes were thousands. He called them together by ringing bells, wetted them with huge water sprayers and declared them Christians without wasting further words.

Throughout history, many attempts have been made by Christian missionaries to use the situation of the "untouchables" to harvest souls. But once they were baptized, they had to experience that equality and justice did not come nearer: as Christians they remained as "untouchable" as they had been as Hindus. Especially the priesthood hierarchies of the established orthodox, catholic, protestant and anglican churches kept themselves strictly Dalit-free. There is no single priest - let alone bishop or cardinal - down history, who was born an "untouchable". There is, despite all crocodile-tears for the oppressed, still no quota for Dalit Christians in the thousands of institutions, schools and hospitals owned by the Christian churches.
(No quota for any christians, period. If dalit christians want money and special access, then all they need to do is apply to the western inflow of moolah and leverage in christoterrorist institutions in India. Let the filthy rich christian church in India pay, which gets hundreds of millions of dollars yearly. So sorry that the greedy christian church is unwilling to part with its money to help its own flock, but that's not our problem. That christian college that recently decided to favour its christian dalit students is getting its money from the majority Hindus' tax money. So turns out no grand sacrifice made by christians there either.
No more stealing from Hindus' tax money to give to christoislamics - it should be spent only on the Hindu population. Let Saudi Arabia and Amerikkka - which stands for the christian part of America - pay for dalit christians/muslims, when the Indian church refuses to spend the needful amount.)

While the Indian government as well as the general public are alert against Christian conversion attempts, the change from Hindu religion to Buddhism is not taken as conversion and does therefore not fall under the Anti-Conversion-Bill, since Buddhism is understood to be a branch of Hinduism. Hinduism knows about 330 millions of gods and goddesses, and Buddha is one of them. While being freed from the caste system, the Dalits-turned-Buddhists don't loose their right on the provisions of the reservation bill, while Dalits-turned-Christians do - good reasons to follow Ambedkar's example rather than turning to Christianity.

But once, under the shield of its historic predecessor and under protection of the watchful international public, Dalit mass conversions to Buddhism have successfully taken place, an example is set. When thousands of Hindus are allowed to become Buddhists one fine afternoon, just by echoing some chants and raising their hands, no moral or legal right could prevent St. Francis Xavier's resurrection!

"God longs for the whole Hindu people to know Jesus Christ and live under His Lordship", revealed the Consultation of World Evangelization in their meeting in Thailand in 1980. The "Thailand Report on Hindus" delivered appropriate missionary know how for the harvest. The Hindu belief system was introduced with special attention to those of its elements, which could be used in the conversion process. "Miraculous healing", for example was recommended as successful technique. "Demonstrating social concern, for example for scheduled castes and tribes or other `untouchables' of the Hindu community (lepers, prostitutes etc.) was another proposed technique.
(Note: 'social concern' is indeed no more than a conversion technique for christianism. Christianism just uses everyone; it pits everyone against each other and then attempts to convert all the smaller blocks individually. Divide and convert is a very christian tactic which is why the christoterrorists from erstwhile British empire used it too.)

"The oppressed and the poor have always been receptive for the Gospel down the centuries in India and elsewhereâ¦ The poor have a natural capacity to put their trust on almost anything. They are not dogmatic. This has always been the âentry pointâ in the structure on any society, through which we can easily enter."
(In other words, they view the poor and vulnerable as gullible.
Oh Yuck. To be regarded as Easy!
And then to later be intended for foot soldiery for spreading christoterrorism about. That is, to be included in the christoterrorist plot to do all the dirty work of destroying one's own heritage and terrorising one's own people...)

It was warned, however, to avoid "premature reaping": "If, as frequently occurs, the first converts are those who are socially isolated for one reason or another reason from the community, premature reaping may create serious barriers to the establishment of the Body of Christ in that area. We must exercise patience as we sow the seed, create a hunger, and work for the conversion of the opinion leaders of the communityâ¦"

Despite great efforts and considerable collections abroad, the "Gospel for Asia" brigade was generally not very successful in India. The "Joshua-2000-Project", which announced a kind of missionary world conquest before the dawn of the new millennium and gathered great holy excitement and still greater donations, did not come up to the expectations. The current grand Dalit-project may have a similar fate. But donators seem to be a confused lot with short memories. Religious action provides entertainment and excitement for its armchair supporters and the satisfactory feeling of contributing considerably to the improvement of the world. Who would want to seriously understand the conditions of real life as long as the show goes on! This approach is unfortunately not limited to the customers of the Evangelical Church.
And as promised. Here is that typical christoterrorist "Dr." K P Yohannan, writing about Bharatmata:
http://www.hvk.org/articles/0700/96.html
QUOTEThis Christian fundamentalist propaganda literature often describes Bharat as a âState of Devilâ. Dr K.P. Yohannan in his book Anant Prakash mein Jeevan Vyatheeth Karain writes: âEvery time a Hindu is baptized and converted to Christianity, there is a great disturbance in the State of Devilâ (p. 114). Hindu religious and community leaders have been termed as âdevilsâ and âsatanicâ powers by the same author.

Dr. Yohannanâs is not the solitary instance. In fact, he is one of the many who project such views. Another ...Hindus must learn that christians will be all patriotic if India were to ever become a christian country (just as they suddenly had a change of heart when Rome became christian - until which time they were traitors, as documented by historians).
So nationalism has nothing to do with why christianism is a threat. It is a grave threat - to all mankind in fact - because it is terrorism plain and simple, just like islam is. No difference. The sooner all Hindus realise that christoislamism is one and the same ideology and stop making excuses for the more popular variant (christianism), the better off we'll be. Recognising would-be assassins for what they are is the first step in preventing the intended crime.

How totally unprecedented!
In Tripura, in 2000, a very christian murder attempt ended in utter tragedy:
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/899422.stm via http://freetruth.50webs.org/Overview4.htm
QUOTEHindu preacher killed by Tripura rebels

A tribal Hindu spiritual leader has been killed by separatist rebels [NLFT] in the northeastern Indian state of Tripura.
Police say about ten guerrillas belonging to the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura ,the NLFT, broke into a temple near the town of Jirania on Sunday night and shot dead Shanti Tripura, a popular Hindu preacher popularly known as Shanti Kali.

The separatist group says it wants to convert all tribespeople in the state to Christianity.

The BBC correspondent in the region says the killing has created tension between the majority of tribals, who are Hindu or Buddhist, and the small number of Christian converts.The pattern is rather self-evident. Murderous christianity impels its brainwashed sheep to stop all the threats to conversion activities, by any and all means. They are so far gone they will not even shrink from murder. It's so OT gawd of them.

And in the Orissa situation, the christian goondas predictably called in their Maoist goonda brethren (also christian in all likeliness) for backup. Bully pushes kid, kid pushes back. Bully gets into fit of fright and has to call his friend/ideological ally in.

Next to the attempts at murdering Swamis, there were the empty charges foisted against Kanchi Shankaracharya. They're really scared of our Hindu Swamis aren't they? They should be. Our Swamis don't need to bribe anyone to make Hindus realise what they are again. And reconverted Hindus remain Hindus.
Hindu reconversion endeavours are the greatest threat to christianism.

QUOTEThe Centre has now sent in forces and Home Minister Shivraj Patil will visit the state with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reassuring Christian community leaders that they will be protected.Where was Madmoron Stink's grand protection when christian goons tried to murder the Swami?
What's Madmoron doing for the Assamese, not to mention the Kashmiris? What about the Hindus of the NE being terrorised and murdered by - oh yeah - christian goons again?
And what's so specially deserving of protection in christoterrorists who started the terrorism? How about not picking a fight: avoid such things as trying to kill Hindu Swamis? There's an idea.

The christoterrorists jumped the gun before their numbers would ensure full-scale success in terrorism (as is now the case in parts of NE). Is the Orissa incident what's referred to as "Premature Reaping" vs the proper reaping that's going on in NE?

We must exercise patience as we sow the seed, create a hunger, and work for the conversion of the opinion leaders of the communityâ¦"

In a later newsflash in EndeeTeevee, MMStink has vaguely assured "everyone living in the area" of Kandhamal of "security". But in Stink's world - you know, the one where islamis should have first claim on resources - Hindus are not people, so the intended meaning of "everyone" is very debatable.

QUOTEMeanwhile, the Orissa government announced a compensation of Rs one lakh each to the next of kin of those killed in the communal violence.
...
Christian representatives in Delhi have demaded a CBI probe into the riots and have asked for compensation of 5 lakh rupees each to the families who have lost relatives during the riots.Western missionaries should fit the bill for starting all the mess. They should pay through their noses - at least send all their regular church tithes to Orissa's victims of christianism-instigated terrorism.

Boy's dying declaration alleges torture by Christian missionaries 
Omer Farooq | Hyderabad
The Hyderabad Police has booked a case of mysterious death after a missing boy was admitted to a hospital in a critical condition by three unknown people who later disappeared from the scene. The 12-year-old boy Mohammed Arshad later died in the Osmania Hospital.

A case has been booked at the Chilkalguda police station and investigations have begun, said inspector Vinod Kumar. The matter has created a lot of tension as the boy, who went missing more than a week ago, told the police in his dying declaration that he was abducted by unknown people and tortured and forced to convert to Christianity. He said he was not aware of the home he was kept and tortured.

"When I refused to convert to Christian and pray according to their customs they denied me the good and beat me up hanging upside down," the boy told the police before breathing his last. The incident has created a lot of tension.
