Kidnappings to break the faith of a family member was common in USA and other areas in the 70's and 80's.

They were expendable.
... and because the rest of the society accepted that they were expendable, the list could grow, till…"
Randall Apps replied to Anand Krishna's discussion Conversion"We cannot expect devotees of different faiths to join into interfaith discussions if we aim to convert.
Nor can we expect them to join in if we deny their right to think they they have the best religion.
