NUS orders Christian group to stop all activities on campus

IN A COUNTRY WHERE MUCH OF THE POPULATION IS
"M" (MUSLIM), MUCH  PRAYER AND WORK IS NEEDED

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has ordered a student Christian group to cease all activities on campus, after it came under fire for its insensitive remarks about Buddhists and Muslims.

The NUS Campus Crusade for Christ received flak over the comments, which appeared on posters around campus and on its website last week.

THAILAND IS A PLACE OF LITTLE TRUE JOY...
BUDDHISM PERMEATES EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY

The group, which has around 80 to 100 members, had put up the posters to promote a mission trip to Thailand. They said the country, known as the Land of Smiles, was actually 'a place of little true joy' because few there believe in Jesus Christ. The posters then urged students to help take Christianity to the Thais.

It made a similar gaffe on its website, where it promoted a mission trip to Turkey and said the country needed 'much prayer and work' because 'much of the population is M', referring to Muslims.
