Buddhists protest individuals converting to Christ as Savior. The hostility grew until "an angry mob set fire to a church in a remote area of Bangladesh," according to Compass Direct’s Sarah Page.

Bangladesh is mostly Islamic. However, Buddhism does "flourish in small pockets." When Buddhism gets hold, it will take out its hostilities against Christians, as was the case in Pancchari, a sub-district of Khagrachhari district in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

A baptism worship was scheduled. Buddhists met. They protested anyone moving from Buddhism to Christianity. Buddhist devotees were warned to have nothing to do with Christians, including even speaking to them. No commerce was to be held between Buddhists and Christians. Any Christian weddings or funerals were to be boycotted by Buddhists.

At a later meeting overseen by Buddhists, Christians were invited to attend. The Christians were then warned to become recessive. In fact, the Buddhists convening the gathering became quite vocal, then Christians were told emphatically that if Christians did "anything out of line" there would be violent attacks against them. the rest
