Morocco Expels Americans For Trying To Convert Muslims To Christianity

A number of Americans were part of a larger group of workers from a charitable organization called Village of Hope that were kicked out of Morocco this week for supposedly trying to convert Moroccans to Christianity.

To put this in perspective, let's look at this from the article at Breitbart:

Islam is Morocco's official religion—one of King Mohammed VI's titles is Commander of the Faithful—and Christian evangelism is banned. Periodic expulsions for it have taken place in the past.

You get that? It's the year 2010 and the government of Morocco literally has a law on the books that forbids Christian evangelism. Unbelievable. And we wonder why so many people around the world have been killed by islamic terrorists from .....yes, Morocco.

More from the story:

The group, on its Web site, called the expulsions "part of a nationwide crackdown against Christians living in Morocco" and said the "parents" were given hours to pack up and leave—without being shown any evidence of wrongdoing.
"The eviction process was the most painful situation imaginable," the statement said.
The group said it "always sought to abide" by the law, and had required volunteers and visitors at the center near the town of Ain Leuh in northern Morocco to sign a declaration promising to abide by the ban.
The group said it had appealed to the king "to act with mercy and help us reach a point of compromise and reunite the 33 children with the only parents they know."

Now, I've discussed here many times just how insecure the believers of islam are - a cartoon in a Danish newspaper sent millions of them to the street worldwide screaming bloody murder and here we have a country that is so paranoid about one of its citizens being exposed to a religion that they ban it. The fact of the matter is that no religion in this world would EVER ban evangelicals from another religions. Christians have no beef with someone preaching Buddhism, Jews don't have a beef with someone preaching Hinduism and so on. It's ONLY those of islam who feel the need to protect their flock. Why?

BECAUSE ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION. You see, the islamists know, deep down, that they worship a failed and frail ideology - one full of holes and chinks in its spiritual armor. The leaders of islam follow the same methods of operation that others have who seek to shield their followers from other points of view - not because they don't trust the flock, but because they've got a shit product.

We are exposed daily to the intolerance of islam, the violence of islam and the oppression of islam yet we, in the West, still walk on eggshells and try to include this so-called "religion" in our affairs and circles. How much exposure of this farce do we need?

US dismayed after Morocco expels Americans


PARIS (AP) - The U.S. ambassador to Morocco has expressed dismay over the expulsion of Americans accused of trying to convert Moroccans to Christianity in the North African kingdom.
The episode, involving several other foreign nationals, threatened to overshadow U.S. praise on Friday for Morocco's recent steps to improve human rights, women's rights and democracy.

A charitable group called the Village of Hope, a home for orphaned and unwanted children in northern Morocco, said Thursday that 16 of its workers were ordered on Monday to leave the country.

Islam is Morocco's official religion—one of King Mohammed VI's titles is Commander of the Faithful—and Christian evangelism is banned. Periodic expulsions for it have taken place in the past.

U.S. Ambassador Samuel Kaplan, in a message Thursday to Americans registered with the embassy, said the U.S. doesn't take issue with Moroccan law.

Kaplan expressed "our distress" about the way they were sent away. He said the Moroccan government refused a hearing for those expelled—and that "violates fundamental rules of due process." He said "a number" of Americans were involved, without specifying.

Separately, timed with the release Friday of a U.S. State Department report on human rights, Kaplan trumpeted progress in Morocco on women's rights and democracy, and "one of the strongest records in the Arab world" toward reforms that have improved human rights.

For leaders of the children's home, the expulsions were a step in the wrong direction.

The group, on its Web site, called the expulsions "part of a nationwide crackdown against Christians living in Morocco" and said the "parents" were given hours to pack up and leave—without being shown any evidence of wrongdoing.

"The eviction process was the most painful situation imaginable," the statement said.

The group said it "always sought to abide" by the law, and had required volunteers and visitors at the center near the town of Ain Leuh in northern Morocco to sign a declaration promising to abide by the ban.

The group said it had appealed to the king "to act with mercy and help us reach a point of compromise and reunite the 33 children with the only parents they know."

Michael Paita, of French affiliate group La Gerbe who was listed as a contact on the group statement, said couples from the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States were among those expelled.

Speaking by phone, Paita said all the workers there were Christian, "but they were there only for social reasons"—not to spread Christianity.

According to the group's site, the home near Ain Leuh was created by two American women—Emmagene Coates and Ellen Doran—over a half-century ago. Coates died in 1995 and Doran in 2007.
