Seems easy to misconstrue other nation's make-up and intent, that was my point. I'm not surprised some Afghan's would believe we're part of a 'Christian' oriented occupation force.

Nope, it is very easy for them to make that mistake. Especially since almost their entire population is Muslim, it would be very easy for them assume that Canada's entire population is Christian.
There needs to be some education on both sides. The NATO forces there are not part of an occupying force, that want to convert them to Christianity. But they seem to beleive that this is the case. There has to be a happy medium between education and military force that can drive the point home. Just not sure exactly where that "point" is.
