I am writing this article not to hurt sentiment of any Christians but to expose the missionary and terrorist nexus..and why missionaries are a threat to India..i respect Christians who are peace loving and an asset to India..i apologies in advance if by any means i hurt them.This article is the first in the series,in these articles i will try to point out some incidents which proves the interlink between terrorist and missionaries.As we see that terrorism in north-east are at a high I am starting from north east.The following are few examples of the charity work of missionaries
1.Foreign missionaries are now increasing their efforts to convert Hindus as per missionary organization Baptist World Alliance (BWA). Christian missionaries are behind the terrorism in the North-East India. Southern Baptist Church in America is financed and created in 1989 the Christian equivalent of the Taliban, the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) for creating an independent Christian nation of Tripura.
2.The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) is funded and armed by World Council of Churches. Nagaland has 40 missionary groups, 18 major Christian militant groups. Churches buy guns, such as AK47s and AK57s from Burma or Bangladesh. NSCN has ties with the ISI and has its offices in New York, Geneva and Hague which display boards with legend 'Peoples Republic of Nagaland'. It has twice raised its demand for an independent nation in United Nations. The NSCN has its own government which collects money from the local people. One third of the salaries of the government servants are taken away as Nagaland Tax before disbursement. Most of the banks in Nagaland have closed down because of the huge sums extracted by this outfit. The letterheads and stamps of this unofficial government read 'Nagaland for Christ'.
3.With the support of Christian Missionaries, terrorist organizations like NLFT and NSCN are spreading terror in parts of North-East India to convert the whole of North-East states to Christianity at gunpoint. Gun point conversions are going on in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Meghalaya. NSCN has already succeeded in Nagaland to convert masses to Christianity and asking "Nagaland for Christ" and still fighting for a greater Nagaland called Nagalim. NLFT is in process of having a repeat of NSCN in Tripura.
4.4.NLFT attacks and desecrate Hindu and Buddhist temples, as well as stop Hindu religious festivals. NLFT terrorists’ in Tripura systematically carryout kidnappings, rape and murder of Hindus. The NLFT was banned in April 1997 but in 2000, this Christian terrorist group had ordered Hindus to stay away from Durga Puja or be killed. NLFT said it wanted all Hindus in Tripura to become Christians. They also stated that salvation for Tripura lies only in Christianity and would eliminate anyone who dared to come in the way of their plans to forcibly convert all of Tripura to Christianity. 20 ashrams, schools and orphanages of Hindus were closed down by these christian terrorists. On August 6, 1999, four Hindus, named Shyamal Kanti Sen Gupta, Sudhamoy Dutta, Dinendranath Dey, Shubhankar Chakraborti, were kidnapped and beheaded like muslim terrorists by the christian terrorist organization NLFT. John Thwaites, a christian priest in Bengal had links with the terrorist activities of Kamtapuri and was arrested in 2001. Baptist Church's evangelical work in India is buying weapons for organized terrorism. In 1991 the 2.3 per cent christians in Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya is now at 90 per cent, 87 per cent and 70.3 respectively.
5.Three priest were arrested in Tripura in April 2000 for aiding terrorists and possessing a large quantity of explosives including 60 gelatin sticks, 5kg of potassium, 2kg of sulphur and other ingredients for making bombs. In the year 2001, there were 826 terrorist attacks in Tripura in which 405 persons were killed and 481 cases of kidnapping by the rebels. These christian terrorists have killed more than 10,000 Hindus in Tripura in the last 20 years.
6.The NSCN (Isak-Muivah)’s well-oiled publicity machine has flooded the video-sharing Internet site YouTube with pro-Nagalim propaganda, including a two-part interview with an American sympathiser who is introduced to viewers as the “honorary ambassador to Nagalim”.
The video clippings show the interviewer, representing an organisation that calls itself Conflict Solutions International (CIS) Inc, asking Grace Collins about the Naga community’s struggle for “independence” from India. “Nagalim is a Christian nation founded by American Christians in the Northeast region of India,” says Collins in the first clip.
Collins, in her interview, takes pains to explain that Nagalim is on the eastern border of India and includes parts of Myanmar, too.
Even the communist government of tripura is not denying the fact that missionaries are backing the rebels..
The government in India's north-eastern state of Tripura says it has evidence that the state's Baptist Church is involved in backing separatist rebels. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said state police had uncovered details of the alleged link after questioning a church leader. Nagmanlal Halam, secretary of the Noapara Baptist Church in Tripura, was arrested late on Monday with a large quantity of explosives.
Mr Sarkar said that allegations about the close links between the state's Baptist Church and the rebel National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have long been made by political parties and police. Now for the first time, he said, hard evidence supporting the allegations had been found.
Explosives
Mr Sarkar told the BBC that Mr Halam was found in possession of more than 50 gelatine sticks, 5kg of potassium and 2kg of sulphur and other ingredients for making explosives.
Chief Minister Sarkar says he has proof
He said that two other junior members of the same church, arrested last week, had tipped the police off about the explosives which were meant for the NLFT rebels.
The chief minister said that Mr Halam confessed to buying and supplying explosives to the NLFT for the past two years. Another church official, Jatna Koloi, was arrested in south Tripura last week. Police say Mr Koloi had received training in guerrilla warfare at an NLFT base last year.
Conversion
Guards have been placed outside the headquarters of the Baptist Church in Tripura's capital, Agartala, to prevent possible attacks on it once the news of Mr Halam's arrest spread. The NLFT is accused of forcing Tripura's indigenous tribes to become Christians and give up Hindu forms of worship in areas under their control.
Last year, they issued a ban on the Hindu festivals of Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja. The NLFT manifesto says that they want to expand what they describe as the kingdom of God and Christ in Tripura. The Baptist Church in Tripura was set up by missionaries from New Zealand 60 years ago.
It is true that Christian missionaries have brought education and civic amenities into this region. However, as in many parts of the world, Christianity has wiped out a whole way of life, erasing centuries of tradition, customs and wisdom. It has caused people to hold their own religion in contempt and look westwards to an alien culture. It has disrupted society by pitting the Christian converts against mainstream Hindu India. This creation of a class-conflict has insulated the tribals from Indian society, and made them a tool in the hands of Christian missionaries. Missionaries in India have often been a divisive force, which used the tribals for advocating a breaking-up of the country. Today, Christian terrorists feel emboldened to use the gun to force Jesus down the throats of unwilling tribals. The fear of segregating Indian Christians and training and using them for the purposes of political or religious blackmail on behalf of foreign interests in moments of crisis is not without foundation. The Christian Missionaries of Chhota Nagpur offered to the British 10,000 armed converted Kols, while Dr. Mason offered a battalion of converted Karens to put down the 1857 war of Independence.
From these we can see that missionary activities are a threat to national security.So would it be wrong if some one asks for complete ban on conversion.I agree there are some good missionaries but as long as we allow conversion the risk remains..
On the next article I would Point out some incidents in Other parts of India.
