Two British teens attacked with acid

[eddie]

2 young British teenage girls, ( who volunteered at a school in Zanzibar) were walking down a street when suddenly someone threw acid in their faces. Both suffered burns on their faces, chest and back. Pretty nasty thing to do to two young women only trying to help at a local school.

Hope they catch whomever did it, and throw acid on them, but wait at least 2 hours before you ask them how it feels!

Disgraceful but they're on their way home now.

That's hard core not cool.

When I read the thread title, the first thing that came to mind was...
the perps were religious extremists.

Might have some bearing:

The attack on the women came at the end of the Muslim holy month of fasting of Ramadan, and as people began to celebrate the Eid holiday.

Just weeks earlier, Katie, from London, claimed she was attacked in the street by a Muslim woman for singing during the religious festival.

The teenager tweeted: "A Muslim woman just hit me in the street for singing on Ramadan. Is that normal?" — Katie Jemma Gee (@katiejgee) July 24, 2013

Funny how you never hear about Muslim attacks like this in American mass media. Kinda’ like the way they don’t cover black on white violence either. One could argue that its not PC, i.e., politically correct. I argue that it is indeed PC, i.e., political cowardice.

That notwithstanding, for the evangelical Mohametans are a tough crowd. One has to be absolutely firmly grounded in the doctrine of Scripture. One can not bridge with Mohametans dogmatically; such bridge can only be established on an intellectual foundation. Mohametans perceive themselves to be intellectually superior to all faiths. Their tolerance of christians is predicated on they being "followers of The Book" to which the Q'uran commands them to give deference.

Evangelizing Mohametans is neither beginner nor intermediate level work. Even expert evangelists need to have a solid understanding of Muslim culture, protocol, ettiquette and decorum. Failing any of that, their altruism, good intentions and expert knowlege of doctrine will be worthless.

Scripture says evangelists should be "wise as serpents but harmless as doves." Offending the Mohametan will result in absolute failure in one's efforts in spreading the Gospel. In a worst case scenario it can result in the loss of the evangelists life.

Evangelism aside, this Jewish group may be on a purely secular, i.e., humanitarian mission, but the issue regarding cultural norms can never be minimalized in a predominant Muslim populace / society.

The islands are mainly Muslim, with some three percent of the 1.2 million people Christian.

Might explain why, as I'm sure they were not dressed properly according to the Muslim way of thinking.
