Uzbekistan has expelled eight American nationals from the Central Asian country on charges of making “unlawful” attempts to convert local Uzbeks to Christianity.


Under the guise of businessmen or English language teachers, the eight US nationals "carried out unlawful missionary activity to attract Uzbek students” to Christianity, AFP reported, citing a report on the state-run Uzbek website, gorizont.uz.

"Notably, the foreigners were fluent in Uzbek and called themselves with Uzbek names such as Jahongir, Husan, Jasur, Farhod," the report said.

The US Embassy in the Uzbek capital Tashkent declined to comment on the incident.

Uzbekistan previously deported another US citizen and seven South Koreans on similar charges.

All religious missionary work is banned in Uzbekistan, which is a predominantly Muslim nation with 90 percent of its 28 million citizens practicing the Islamic faith.

why the f**k do these misinories do this kind of sh*t. don't they have any thing else better to do.
The Christian hing command should do some thing to stop these kind of activities. but thats not going to happen as they are the culprits here. Its better to impose some jail terms before they are expeled. so that they can understand that their God did not help them for inviting other to the club

If this is the case, then I wholeheartedly support the courageous Uzbek government for expelling these scumbags.

Shameless votebank GOI could learn and thing or two from the proud Uzbek government for preserving their culture from such religious terrorism.

they are playing their worst games in India and china... in fact christian population in India has increased exponentially in the last decade

And they have become a big problem for us Buddhists now . What jihadis do violently, these missionaries do covertly.

Down with them all.

We are a secular nation but we should make sure that no one gets converted by preaching. If one falls in love with a certain religion. he should justify his conversion to the local autority and if he is a SC or ST, he should be warned before that he will loose his previlage for converting his/her religion.
Christians are considered FC by our legislation.

This warped concept of secularism is what is destroying our indigenous and ancient culture. Secularism in India is the biggest problem for any communal tensions because UPA screws Hindus/Sikhs/Buddhists up always. They ALWAYS favor their own selective breed of minorities. Here's the message:

"We DON'T want to freaking convert. We don't want you in our land ruining our culture (What you call religion). We don't want your concepts to mentally enslave us like zombies".

How difficult is it for these missionaries and mullas to understand that their preaching is not welcome in Asian countries rich in their own ancient culture.

The problem is that there are fools in our nation who provide bread and butter for this as* holes to preach and convert the lower and poorer segment of the Indian population.
and the elites of the nation are not contributing enough to the welfare of the economically under previlaged.
Indians should be taught of moral values to end this ****. The underprivilaged sould be made clear that chaning religion does not bring them any good fortune of health.

They want to nick third world resources and at the same time tell these people that if they give in to their superior way of life they will have a better life in the afterlife.

if your faith is strong, then don't pay attention to them just ignore them.

me personally, I think its silly for one country to send missionaries to another.....incidentally, Uzbekistan (the government) still has that socialist so-called ''secular'' approach, so that is probably one of the dumbest countries in the world to send a missionary to.

as it is, Uzbek government is terrified and scared of its own people

I think missionaries issue was only a mask but reality was something else.
