Algerian Religious Affairs Minister: evangelisation is new terrorism

Algerian Religious Affairs Minister Bouabdellah Goulamallah said evangelisation phenomenon in Algeria can be turned into new terrorism posing a danger to the society.

• The minister told Echorouk that old churches which have been in Algeria since the independence have nothing to do with the evangelisation.
• He denied that the so-called evangelists aim at “bringing Algerians to the Paradise through Christianity.”
• “Their objective is to trigger opposition and tension in families and tribes,” he said.
• “Those tensions may cause clashes and hostility between citizens. Algeria does not need that.”
