Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Religious aid groups try to convert victims
Pete's Points:
Check this link out!
I simply cannot believe that both Christian and Muslim groups are taking advantage of the people who have been literally impacted with the disastrous consequences of the Tsunami by bringing religion into the picture. Anyone who associates the provision of food, shelter, clothing with a spiel about what either Christianity or Islam can do for you if only you believe and follow the dictums does not, at least in my view deserve support.
People who are the victims of any really disruptive event are so vulnerable and so defenceless. It is these people who are then confronted with aid that has a ticket attached which almost screams out - you can have this aid provided you believe in what we want you to believe in.
I am outraged and would strongly urge anyone donating to any charity to ask them whether they intend to hand out religious advice with their aid and if so avoid them like the plague that they are!
