Tracking Christians

Michelle Malkin has a story on Muslims using the internet to track and persecute christians.

My church supports several missionaries to entrenched Muslim countries. They aren't technically missionaries. They couldn't get into these countries with "christian missionary" on their visas. They are language teachers or import/export corporation managers for local goods. They provide services and, at the same time, do relationship evangelism to the locals.

Now I can't say which countries because this post is on the internet and could expose them. My church went so far as to use a code word for them that I can't remember. I'll just refer to the place as France then. If demographic trends continue, it will be accurate in a few years anyway. So we can't say "missionary to France" or "pray for to French people" even in our own church bulletin. We use the code word in all written correspondence.

We're doing this because there is an Islamic network out there that gathers intelligence on missionaries. It probably even reaches the shores of the US. So when the riots in France start up again, and they will, we want to keep our missionaries off the inciting mullahs' master list. They'll still have to run for cover, because being obviously non-French is enough to attract the mob's attention during a riot, but hopefully they'll live and be able to restart their ministry when things calm down.
