An American missionary believed he had been 'called' to convert the protected tribe who shot him dead with arrows when he arrived on their remote Indian island.

John Allen Chau, 27, paid local fishermen to help him get to North Sentinel Island, one of the world's most isolated regions in India's Andaman islands, last week.

Chau took a boat ride with the fishermen before venturing alone in a canoe to where the indigenous people live cut off completely from the outside world, authorities said.

As soon as he set foot on the island, which is off-limits to visitors, Chau found himself facing a flurry of arrows - but he kept walking.

The tribe then tied a rope around his neck and dragging his body away, according to the fishermen who helped him get there.

Indian police said a murder case had been registered against 'unknown tribesmen' and seven people - the fishermen who took him to the island - have been arrested in connection with the death.

But the Sentinelese who killed Chau can't be prosecuted as contact with them and several tribes on the islands is illegal in a bid to protect their indigenous way of life and shield them from diseases.

Now, a friend has revealed to DailyMail.com that Chau was 'committed' to travelling to the remote island, deep in the Indian Ocean, to preach Christianity to the tribesmen and had been planning the trip for at least three years.

Interestingly,most Indian news portals do not have reference to "missionary" where the international ones do.

It's not like he wasn't told before that the tribes were hostile to intruders, or that going to that island was illegal to protect both the tribes and the travelers. He willfully broke the law so as to preach to these people (and destroy their culture in the process) and got what he was looking for: a martyr's death.

Honestly? Good riddance.

You're wasting your time trolling here while the Lord's work is awaiting you or the Lord awaiting you while doing your nuisance in His name.

I think the sentinels need to be protected from missionary position. I suggest you make a personal visit to said island and give the dudes a heads up.

Are you suggesting that rice bags don't do the trick anymore? That the heathens are more demanding? That the " missionary position " is passe? That missionaries indulge in what you asked me to do above in your post, to save souls?

Damn!! Why did you quit proselytizing then?

You are like the empty vessel that makes a lot of noise. ACT not talk. I will give you a set of bows and arrows- give the sentinelese the weapons they need to stop the missionary!

In case you didn't notice, they already made good use of the bows & arrows. But trolling apart, this is the Lord's work. You must spread the Lord's name. Acquaint the Sentinelese with JC. Do it before the 31st of Dec & I promise you I'd personally pen a moving eulogy out here.

Don't know why my thread on this topic was not approved yesterday, anyway Good riddance to that missionary. The problem is that even after Modi Govt. banning thousands of NGO's who act as a front for Missionaries these cockroaches are still coming to India and brainwashing people.

I have followed the online activities of these groups and it looks like they are showing education or tourism as reasons to enter the country now, don't know what to do with this.
