Like I said, I agree that it's arrogant and immature but the appropriate response would be to ban them from returning to the country, surely. Not to pander to local superstitions (the politicians doing this should be locked up IMO, I don't believe for a second that the people in power there actually believe any of the mountain god twaddle) by suggesting that they are responsible for deaths. Like I said, I can easily see this going horribly and one of them being hurt or worse by some superstitious vigilante.
