Haven't they already suffered enough?
Most American groups, including those affiliated with religious organizations, strictly avoid mixing aid and missionary work. But scattered reports of proselytizing in Sri Lanka; Indonesia, which is predominantly Muslim; and India, with large Hindu and Muslim populations, are arousing concerns that the good will spread by the American relief efforts may be undermined by resentment.

I'm sure getting a bible will serve these people better than rice or potable water. And it'll definitely do wonders to alleviate religious and political tensions that predated the disaster.
