How could they do such a terrible thing? From AFP, "Malaysian police arrest two Americans suspected of promoting Christianity"
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian police arrested two Americans for allegedly distributing Christian religious pamphlets to Muslims, police said Wednesday.The two men were detained on Monday and a local court had ordered them to be held for 14 days to assist in investigations, a police spokesman told AFP.
"We want to find out if they had breached any regulations in Malaysia," he said.
It is an offence in mainly-Muslim Malaysia to try to convert Muslims away from their faith.
Another police official named the two men as Ricky Ruperd, in his 30s, and Zachry Harris, in his 20s.
The official Bernama news agency said they were arrested for distributing pamphlets with religious content at Malaysia's new administrative capital Putrajaya, 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of here.
Putrajaya police chief Mohamad Khalil Kadir Mohamad said the men were detained during routine checks by police and and were found to be without any travel documents.
A spokesman for the US embassy confirmed the detentions but would give no further details.
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said earlier this month there was no ban on Bibles published in the Malay language but they must be stamped with the words "Not for Muslims"...
But don't dare interfere with their damnable dawah anywhere in the world, right?
Ah...one of America's "moderate Muslim allies" (according to Bill O'Reily) strikes again.
Yes, be sure and stop all critical thinking. You certainly can't have free thought. What are you afraid of, can't your god convince his people of his godhood without force?
Wow,telling people to love one and another and help the poor,the world should be outraged at this "Forced-Kindness" that offends Islam and Muhammed.
islam Is losing members from its death cult every day. Thanks to folks like these.
I can just hear shukri's skin crawling about now.
islam's Days are numbered and I will live to watch this death cult self-destruct and implode. Praise be to God!
By now, mohammed (poop be upon him) must be asking for double marshmallows for his self inflicted and mandated hell-roast! Unless of course, allahrock didn't take away his stick/sword and his raisins, in which case, he'd have to use a hand, which would have been cut off for STEALING! Guess ole mo is "outta hand", huh?
I'll pray for those muslims who are 'stuck' in this disgusting predicament of a cult and will continue to fight for their liberation. As for those who willingly and knowingly join this disgusting, filthy man-made cult... may you join your 'mo' in 'allah-land' (translation... GO TO HELL).
As said previously, nothing makes something more interesting than when you ban it.
That being said, what kind of sick society does not allow freedom of religion? Compulsion in religion is wrong; yet, it's something islam has never understood.

Ah yes, now we get down to the nitty-gritty, don't we? Of course the Bible offends, doesn't it? The truth is funny that way:
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn 3:16)
Yes, I can see now why the Malaysian gov't would want to ban this stuff. Can't have Muslims loving the G-d of Israel AND their (infidel) neighbour with all their heart, soul and mind as they would love themselves. Joke's on them though. His will, not man's, will be done on earth as it is in heaven whether they like it or not.
Malaysian may have something...
I think we should stamp the entire Western World with their own words:
"NOT FOR MUSLIMS".
(Glad they could help us out with a sublimely simple solution for this global jihadist dilemma.)
