MISSIONARIES ATTACKED

This piece comes from Islam Online. Go read it all and get the sense of how much they fear Christian influences.
A Christian missionary was killed and three others injured in an ambush on their car near Baghdad on Sunday, February 15.

A number of gunmen opened fire on the car the missionaries were riding on their way back from the southern Iraqi city of Babil, eyewitnesses told Al-Quds press...

Since the U.S. and British forces rolled into Baghdad on April 9, more than 100 Christian missionaries entered the Arab Muslim country.

Shrouded in secrecy and under the guise of humanitarian aid, American missionaries, mainly evangelicals, are pouring into the predominantly Muslim Iraq, fearing the now "open door" may be soon closed when an Iraqi government takes over power, Daily Telegraph reported on December 27.

The goal now is spreading some one million Arabic bibles along with Arabic religious videos and tracts throughout Iraq, after only 8,000 copies were circulated in their last missions, the paper added.
