It means what I said, not what you interpreted my words to mean. We converted these people and thus have taken a responsibility for their welfare since 1972. This country has deeply supported faith based programs since Reagan and this is one of the results of that. Obviously we didn't force them to become Christian, but we do not shirk from our obligation to support them when they are systemically murdered for their faith. The Lutheran mission is deeply rooted in this, so blame us if you need to blame somebody, but don't try to act like the US didn't have a hand in the issues that are occurring all over Africa. Whether for politics, resources, or religion, we are deeply connected to the African continent.
