Israeli minister wants Muslims converted

Advertisements [?]

An Israeli minister has called on missionaries to solve the Middle East's problems by converting Muslims to Christianity and so "combat terrorism".

Speaking on public radio this Sunday, the National Union party's Benny Elon also called on fundamentalist Christian groups to bolster Israel by pushing the nation's "biblical" rights to land.

"It would be better that these people are converted to Christianity which is based on the Bible and recognises our rights" to the holy land.

The tourism minister added that Israel would welcome evangelists in their effort to "spread the good word" in Israel - on condition that they do not seek to convert Jews.
