Shame on you, Newsweek

Newsweek had an article about the one year memorial of the tsunami here in Southern Thailand, focusing particularly on Baan Nam Chem. Leave it to them to insinuate Christians just "moved in" to make converts. What is common knowledge here, among all the Thais helped, is that Christian organizations were responsible for 70% of all the rebuilding that was done here, especially the houses. "We Love Thailand" is a group of Christian organizations that organized tremendous help for the region. Hundreds of both western and Thai Christians worked selflessly to help tsunami victims, from the first hour on, and many are still working. The communities that were helped are grateful. Shame on you, Newsweek, for turning a beautiful thing into something ugly.
