Mr. Graham should keep his rear end out of this buisness for the time being. Religious freedom, hopefully, will come in time in the region but the last thing we need are high profile bible thumpers confirming the their worst expectations about our intentions.

Just what are our intentions? Purely to give them freedom and democracy? The brand of democracy we now have - where the Presidents threatens his own citizens in favor of one religion or chastizes one religion for speaking out against another religion - I am confused. Someone with food, clothing and medical care that would tell them about Jesus would be worse?

Franklin Graham has been helping poor people around the world for many years, many, many of them have been Muslims.

I guess some people do not understand that Christianity is not a religion that can be forced on anyone - you have to accept it yourself and it is between you and God. There is no government involved - maybe that is what scares people about it. It is a personal, independent thing that doesn't need government - oh horrors!!!!!! We cannot let that get out.

Not by itself and not on its own. Think of post-war Japan and the disestablishment of the formal emperor cult.
