Incidence

The actions of Christians continue to lead to complaints by Muslims and Jews that, despite denials, their faiths are targeted by over-enthusiastic evangelists who tend to promote distorted image of such faiths. In eastern Europe in 1992, Orthodox Christians complained of a ruthless campaign by Roman Catholics to convert their members.

Claim

Evangelistic crusades, especially in other cultures, have been based on an attitude of arrogance, aggression, and negativism. These have obscured the gospel and caricatured Christianity as an aggressive and militant religion.
