A CANADIAN Islamic group is vowing to prevent the adoption by Christian families of Muslim children orphaned in the tsunami disaster. "Canadian Muslims will not allow that the custody of Muslim orphan children to be given to Christian families or any non-Muslim families," reads a release issued yesterday by the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada.
The release goes on to say Christian missionaries are kidnapping Muslim children in Indonesia.
"It is now proven that the Christian missionaries do not help people on humanitarian grounds," the release states. "They help people in order to exploit their needs and convert them to Christianity."
Phone calls to the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada were not returned yesterday.
The release says ISCC president Syed Soharwardy has asked "all Muslim governments" to ensure Muslim children are raised Muslim.
"This is a time of test and if Muslim governments do not take care of these orphans, Allah will punish them in this world and the Hereafter," the release states, attributing the comments to Soharwardy, who is also the founder of Muslims Against Terrorism.
An AP wire story said established Christian charitable organizations usually do their work in Muslim countries under an agreement not to seek converts.
"We will chase down any Christian group that does anything beyond offering aid," Hasri Husan, the leader of a militant Muslim group that is operating a refugee camp in Indonesia, told AP before making a slashing motion across his throat.
The Christian group Strategic World Impact is setting up water filtration and other provisions at a refugee camp, but spokesman Ron Day denied they were "waving Bibles" in the area.
Mohammed said that while it was a good deed to care for an orphan, adoption - in the sense that the orphan becomes the actual child of the new parents - is invalid and not permitted.
He said this so he could marry his adopted son's wife. "Allah says he is not truly my son, so she is not truly my daughter in law, so it is acceptable for me to take her, praise Allah."

Typical Muslim response: we would rather let them die Muslim than let them be raised Christian. This is the same secure faith that kills those who leave it. How long will this junk religion exist? It's time to ban Islam.
Um...you're not born Muslim, firstly, and secondly, I'm soooo sure you kind-hearted and charitable Muzzies are falling all over yourselves to reach out to these children. How disgusting.
"no better than Pharisees."
Exactly!
Perhaps the Muslims of Indonesia would prefer we sent the Pink Angels to "help."
