    I don’t agree with their religion and they shouldn’t have even been there. But to say that they were tourists is unfair. They were full-time missionaries. They (sadly) dedicated their lives to spreading their religion. They also probably tried to help meet basic needs like food, shelter, etc.

    Religion is complicated and this was a preventable tragedy.

      You’re right. Tourists don’t do anywhere near as much damage as missionaries.
