They didn’t burn the missionaries, they burnt the books.

But they shouldn't give the appearance of emulating their worst modern persecutors.

And isn’t there a rule about forced evangilizing in the very orthodox areas of Israel?

What's "forced" about what the missionaries did?

>>What's “forced” about what the missionaries did?<<

I may be wrong in my term. But I think there are areas where the really Orthodox have ruled like a “no solicitors” rule. Where a person can live without missionaries (you know, like the one's I get at my front door) passing out stuff.

Here in MI, we have that rule in my city. It's stopped the publications and well dressed couples from ringing my doorbell.

Besides what I read, about six students did this. In my neighborhood they'd have a parent called and get pulled home by the ear. (after they cleaned up the mess)
