Two Christian Aid groups have been suspended in Afghanistan. The groups have been prevented from doing their work because of allegations of proselytizing. The mainly Islamic Afghans do not want to except help from these people because they believe the volunteers will try to convert them to Christianity. Both groups have served all over the world providing emergency assistance and long term planning.
I thought that this issue was very important because it is an example of how difference in religion has put hindrances between the people of the world. Many religions, especially Islam, believe that they are the greatest, and because of it deny any friendly contact between members of other religions. This is especially important because the people of this service claim that they only wanted to provide help, and their advances were spurned because of their religion.
