South Korea invades Afghanistan

Yes. You heard it correctly. 1500 Christians from South Korea have invaded Afghanistan and Afghanistan is trying to get them shipped out as quickly as possible. It seems that the South Korean group, is having meetings called "Rejoice Afghanistan!" But Afghanistan is not rejoicing. There is something that Afghanistan hates much more than than the Taliban and that is having the gospel of Jesus Christ preached in their country. The South Korean Group is evidently associated with evangelicals. I would refer you to the following Yahoo News Story:http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060804/wl_sthasia_afp/afghanistanskoreareligion_060804064849

Now imagine the outcry if the U.S. or Europe tried to ship out every Muslim for trying to spread their faith.

As usual there is a double standard. Muslims are welcome to evangelize in the West; however the West or East (in the case of S. Korea) can not evangelize in Muslim countries.

Scripture says that every tribe and nation shall be represented in heaven. I believe that includes Afghanistan and the Pashtun tribe as well.

Way to go S. Korean Christians. Maybe your actions will not only result in the salvation of people in Afghanistan but cause the Christians in the West to remember what their calling and heritage is all about.
