Eight people have been arrested in Jordan for propagating the Christian faith, according to a Saudi newspaper.
Jordanian security forces arrested eight people, mostly foreigners, after they were caught distributing missionary material to Bedouin families north and east of the Jordanian capital, Amman, the Saudi daily Al-Watan reported.
The authorities received information about the missionaries from local residents who said these foreigners were offering humanitarian assistance to poor Muslim families and distributing fliers promoting Christianity.
Sources said they were "enticing" impoverished youngsters by paying them money and calling on them to marry foreign girls.
Islam is the state religion in Jordan, though christianity is a recognized religion in the country.
