Iraqis to American evangelicals: M.Y.O.B.

uruknet.info says that American evangelicals don't need to tell Iraqis about Christianity, because Christianity has been in Iraq for a lot longer than it's been in the U.S.
Enough is enough for the Christian community in Iraq. The head of Iraq’s largest Christian community, Patriarch Emmanuel Delly, recently scathingly attacked the evangelical Christians who have taken their crusade to Iraq since the illegal U.S. invasion of March 2003.

Delly told Al-Jazeera News on May 19 that Iraq did not need Christian missionaries because its churches dated back long before Protestantism. He objected to the aspect of trying to convert Muslims and said, "You can’t even talk about that here." ...

Thanks to The Green Knight for passing this along.
