Missionary slain by tribe
Nov 24^th, 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.

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

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.

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

They do that to thousands of people both in and out of prison dickhead, how the bugger to you think Isis enlisted so many?

You are a prick pessary.

Nope. Thats not true. ISIS etc convert ppl that are already muslim to their radical brand. Muslims dont seek out new converts.

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.
