In a disagreement over the issue of conversion to Christianity in Algeria, at a conference in the Algerian city of Batna, Islamic politicians stated that missionary activity is not purely religious but is a foreign initiative aimed at creating a noisy minority that will lead to the undermining of society's stability.
However, anthropologists at the conference called conversion to Christianity an honest response to Islamic extremism and terrorism, and said that the latter had stripped Islam of its humanism and pushed Algerians towards Christianity.
