It is very possible that well intentioned but misguided groups of evangelists could actually worsen the situation for Christians in a place like Iraq...making presentation of the Gospel on any scale much more dangerous and difficult....which will ultimately slow or stop the advancement of the Gospel in this region.

Actually, the situation is similar to Paul's missionary journey into Asia Minor. Note that just because he was chased out of a couple of places by angry mobs, it didn't stop him from continuing his work. He also didn't spend too much time worrying about his PR campaign.

Fine point Pete.  Paul's work was, and its fruition is, Christianity in Arab lands.
