Converting Muslims is profitable

Kashmir Christians are indignant at the meddling done by foreign Christian missionaries.
The native Christians are increasingly getting vocal against the outsiders. ``This type of conversions aren't good for local Christians who had shared a cordial relationship with Muslims here for centuries. The conversions they are doing are Bibilically wrong. There are umpteen cases in which one person has been baptised thrice within a few months. These so-called evangelists have set up businesses in the garb of Church and social work,'' says Pastor Leslie Richards, a native protestant living in Braen, Srinagar. ``The converts here do it for monetary reasons and the people who convert them too do it for the same reasons,'' he adds.
