Yes, why does Lothar Sommerfeld and family have special visa for long term to destroy the culture of the Akha people in Thailand for Thai government opiate injection of religion genocide?
We have seen Lothar many times, and we do not agree how he and others portray Akha people and culture and destroy it with their bibles. Religion should not require the destruction of German or Akha culture. But the German missionary requires the destruction of Akha culture. Write to us.

Dear Matthew,
Sorry for my late answer. I agree with your opinion that a people’s culture should be respected, even if we think that some of its aspects and resulting actions are „wrong“ (according to our own culture). But the truth is, today there is a worldwide competition of cultures and the Akha people are confronted with the outside world through the media and through their contacts to other people, even without German missionaries. I hope that Lothar Sommerfeld will be wise enough to interact with the Akha people in a way that will help them find their rightful place in the modern world without losing their identity.
