Haiti has charged 10 US missionaries with child abduction and criminal conspiracy for allegedly trying to smuggle 33 children out of the country.“One of the elder girls told us, ‘I’m not an orphan. I still have my parents,’” he added. “She thought she was going on a summer holiday vacation given by friendly people from America and the Dominican Republic.” said Georg Willeit, who runs the SOS Children’s Village outside Port-au-Prince.
"I feel good," the missionary group's leader Laura Silsby told reporters. "I trust in God."... "They are very precious kids that have lost their homes and families and are so deeply in need of, most of all, God's love and his compassion."
Hey Mrs. Silsby, not all of the children lost their families, some of them were taken from their families! Mostly the children are in need of "god's love and compassion"? I disagree, I'd say that food, water, shelter, and medical attention are a bit more dire than your invisible deity's so called "compassion". And according to the bible isn't your god responsible for natural disasters such as this one that has caused so much misery?
The media has done a decent job covering this story, but imagine if the scenario was exactly the same but instead of the group being Baptist Christians they were Muslims or any other non-Christian group that were trying to kidnap these children. The Christian-right's heads would collectively explode!
