Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has ordered the ¡°complete expulsion¡± of all Koreans who went there to take part in a ¡°peace march¡± organized by an evangelical organization, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. Lee Joon-kyu, the ministry¡¯s director general in charge of consular affairs, told KBS radio that Kabul informed the Korean Embassy of the decision on Tuesday.

A group of 35 Koreans who arrived at Kabul airport on Tuesday were the first to be stopped. A source with the Institute of Asian Culture and Development, a coalition of evangelical groups sponsoring the event, claimed a few Koreans were injured when Afghan police wielded metal clubs to subdue them, but a Foreign Ministry official quoted a staffer who was present as saying no one was struck, and one individual suffered an abrasion when they resisted.

1. That is really an odd story. Keep us posted.

2. Korean Evangelicals are actually Moonies, folks.

RevMoon adapted the evangelical cover so he could further influence the Republican party under a cover more acceptable to them. But, scratch the surface of almost any fundie, and you'll discover there's a moonie underneath.

The fundie churches adopted Moon's techniques to bring their congregations under greater control for political power. That is why they have their people devoting more time to their churches than they do their family lives - that's a cult technique.

3. Such immigrants operate a restaurant in my town

I don't think I will ask them about it. They are still struggling with the concept of being a vegetarian.

4. But their Moonie-ness isn't to the point in this.

As a previous article quoted some Afghan official, it's a Muslim country. So, for their own safety he advised the Xian Koreans not to come.

What's not said is the point.
