Missionary slain by tribe
Nov 24th, 2018 at 10:13am
 
A US preacher repeatedly imposed himself on a reclusive Stone Age tribe in a bid to convert them to Christianity until they snapped.


John Allen Chau, 26, was killed in a hail of arrows and buried in the sand shortly after setting foot on India’s North Sentinel Island, which is part of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago in the Bay of Bengal.

The region is home to five Stone Age tribes — believed to be the last in existence — who live completely cut off from the rest of the world and are protected by the Indian government.

The Sentinelese are the most reclusive of the cluster and have a fearsome reputation for driving away uninvited guests — whether they arrive by boat or fly overhead — with spears and bow and arrows.

Mr Chau made multiple unsolicited trips to the community over the past three years as he formulated a deluded plan to “establish the kingdom of Jesus” on the island.

Typical Christians   Roll Eyes

When was the last time a Muslim knocked on your door, trying to convert you to Islam?

Surfers will travel to the ends of the earth for waves but stay away from Sentinel for all the obvious reasons even though the temptation is great.

https://www.swellnet.com/news/swellnet-dispatch/2018/11/22/locals-only-north-sen...



"The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survives," Stephen Corry, the group's director, said in a statement.

"So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-22/isolated-tribesmen-kill-american-on-remot...


The Sentinelese probably have a few stories handed down from not too many generations ago about the dangers involving outside contact.



Anyway, that's what blind, unquestioning selfish faith gets you ... an undignified death and burial.

Well how do New born babies become Muslim?

How did all the islanders on Indonesia, Malaysia etc become Muslim?

Islam is one of the newest religions, so all these people were Muslims without conversion?

Better yet try and deconvert or move to a Muslim poo hole and proclaim you will never convert. Say goodbye to your head first.

They were born into it. Or they converted themselves. Muslims usually dont have missionaries and dont set out to convert ppl. Theres always an acception tot he rule but its not their thing like xtians who have it in their book.

No coercion eg death to unbelievers and apostates at all, you know all the passages from the Quran that have been posted hundreds of times on this site that the apologists refuse to acknowledge. That doesn't figure at all into people's "choices". You are morbidly cynical and in denia, also;

In the Qur'an Allah states, "Invite (others) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and reason with them in ways that are best. Your Lord knows best who is straying from His path and who is being guided (towards it). An Nahl ('The Bee', 16:125)"

I didnt say the radicals dont want to kill unbelievers. Their book says to kill them rather than convert them.

That's how you convert people, by making them fear a painful death if they don't.

So telling people lies is doing God's work? That is just about what we should expect from sanctimonious, moralising, Abrahamic cultists who cannot get beyond dark ages superstitions to interpret reality. Time to grow up.

If God exists and he wanted that tribe to know his cute stories about talking snakes and arks etc then he would just magic the entire Bible direct into their brains.

Conclusion;

a) God does not exist

Or

b) God does not want that tribe to know his cute stories about talking snakes and arks etc.

They've been isolated on that island for so long even brief contact with the outside world could decimate them.

They've made it clear they want to be left alone, so let's leave them alone.

Something i have noticed in all the discussions on this topic everywhere is that EVERYONE lumps all those islanders together instead of realising it was just those few that did the deed. I read a history of the island and there have been visitors that didnt get killed. They didnt even see weapons. Those yahoos that spotted the boat that time were prolly their equivalent of our right wingers. Also that guy was prolly REALLY annoying.

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/pauline-hanson-praises-sentinelese-tribe-for-keeping...

Quote:
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has commended the "immigration policy" of a reclusive, pre-Neolithic tribe.

On Tuesday, Ms Hanson announced she would ask the Senate "to acknowledge the terrible impact immigration would have on the Sentinelese people".

One of the world's last "untouched" peoples, the Sentinelese made headlines earlier this month after killing American missionary John Allen Chau.


The tribe is almost entirely shut off from the rest of the world.

"I for one will not be condemning the Sentinelese as racist for keeping their borders closed, nor will I condemn them for their lack of diversity," Ms Hanson told SBS News.

"The case of the isolated people of the North Sentinel Islands has highlighted a fact that many in this place are reluctant to admit. That immigration can have a devastating effect on a people's culture and way of life," she said.

"You would be hard pressed to find a single expert who would argue against protecting the Sentinelese peoples culture and way of life through limiting migration to their island. "


Announcing the Notice of Motion on Facebook, Ms Hanson said "it will be interesting to see if Labor and the Greens are willing to support a country with such harsh immigration rules. You would think they would be offended by the lack of diversity right?"

The Sentinelese are the most isolated among the native tribal groups that inhabit the Andaman Islands. Part of India, North Sentinel is protected by laws which ban any contact with the Indigenous people.

On November 17, Mr Chau was killed with arrows as he illegally set foot there and tried to convert the population to Christianity. His body remains on the island.

Fears that 21st-century diseases as mild as the common cold could kill off the tribe, or that experiencing electricity and the internet would devastate their lifestyle, has left them in a guarded bubble.

The Sentinelese normally attack anyone who goes to the island. Two fishermen who strayed onto the island were killed in 2006.

Bam had a great idea:

"Australian taxpayers should fund a study trip for Hanson to travel to the North Sentinel Islands so she can ask the islanders about their immigration policies in more detail."

Can someone set up a Go Fund Me page?

I'll kick in the first $100.

I approve.

If only I could adopt similar methods when the Jehovah's Witnesses knock on my door.
