Bangladesh: Muslim mob misunderstands Islam, attacks Christian missionaries on suspicion that they were converting Muslims
How did this mob get the idea that there was anything wrong with Christians converting Muslims? Muslim spokesmen such as Salam al-Marayati, M.

I expect that al-Marayati, Bassiouni, and Eteraz will immediately be jetting over to Madarganj to explain to the Muslim mobs that they're getting Islam all wrong, wrong, wrong, and should stop bothering these Christian missionaries immediately.

Police arrested two teachers and a student from an Islamic seminary in Madarganj, 120 miles (200 kilometers) north of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, following the attack.
At least 200 angry locals chased the missionaries' car and threw stones at it, leaving three with cuts from broken glass, the district police chief said.
The missionaries were part of a group "of seven Presbyterians who were attacked by the Muslim villagers. They have been given first aid and moved to a safer place," Abdur Razzaq told AFP.
The US citizens were accompanied by a Bangladeshi Christian convert to assess a piece of land for setting up a church, a school and a hospital to conduct missionary activities in the largely Muslim area, he said....
