Dozens of religious groups have moved in to Aceh, looking to help
tsunami victims - and convert them and others, creating tensions in the
disaster area.
The arrival of Western Christian groups with records of aggressive
preaching risks confrontation with local Muslim leaders which could
jeopardise the provision of aid to the 600,000 local people made
homeless by the disaster. The death toll in Aceh stands at around
110,000 and is expected to rise.
