I found this part interesting from the artilce:
"The whole idea of missionary work is a very loaded and dangerous idea because
it's often presented as simply presenting beliefs for someone to accept or
reject. It's always embedded in power. Those who have the ability to
proselytize to others are more powerful than others. They have the resources to
establish schools, hospitals. Missionary work is not neutral. It is embedded in
power. You don't find Muslims coming to proselytize in the U.S. But you find
Americans going to all sorts of Muslim countries."

There are viewpoints of five thinkers (considered leaders by Cox News
Service). Read all of it before judging them. The readers' comments are
interesting too. I think you will enjoy reading it.
