The whole world, East, West, North South, agrees that insulting Christianity and Judaism is a courageous act, and often even an artistic one, to be awarded by applause from the intelligentsia, and often with awards, honors, and cash grants. The whole world also agrees that insulting Islam, even including correct analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, is a heinous crime that must be punished. In the West, it is punished by means of deplatforming, denial of service by social media giants and credit card corporations, and vilification in the most lurid of terms in the mainstream press. In Malaysia, the punishment is simpler and not as draconian: you just get prison time. That, too, is likely coming to the West.

True, shria coming to America soon. Stand firm … Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life, no one comes to the Father, but through Him. Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body, but can not kill the soul; but be afraid of God (YHVH, Elohim, Savior, Redeemer), not (allah), who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

The loss of jobs, the arrests, prison and fines, may be a lot closer than anyone realizes. These 2 special agents of the federal government are now under investigation for telling the truth and asking questions about this moslim.

Yes, it seems now that social media is the quickest way to die.
I keep warning that one day we will all be in the gulag.
I wasn’t joking either.

Anybody familiar with the Trinitarians? From about the Millennium through some time in the 16th or 17th century, this was a Christian order whose good works heavily emphasised buying Christians out of Muslim enslavement. Muslim enslavement continues but I don’t think the Order is still active.
Failing that, I believe my government should find the money to quietly ransom this prisoner of conscience. Well,, I mean, since I’m unlikely to persuade my government to depose this Muslim “government.”
gravenimage says
Actually, elee, the Trinitarians *are* still around, and are still freeing slaves (they don’t limit this to Christians). They were especially active in ransoming slaves in Sudan in recent decades. They do good work.
I’m not sure they could help this poor man, though–by law in Malaysia, if he is ethnically Malay he is considered Muslim–even if he is an apostate.
elee says
Thanks gravenimage I am so glad to hear that the Order is still operating and will seek out some more information about current presence & operations.
I think my government should buy this man’s freedom for the same reasons I thought we should buy the freedom and safety of an endangered Christian woman from Pakistan. Did their release of all women prisoners “For International Women’s Day” affect her? Deft work Paki government.

The Trinitarians are still active – https://www.trinitarians.org/ministries/index.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitarian_Order.
Often we don’t know the questions we need to ask.

Malaysia: Man gets 10 years prison for insulting Islam on Facebook
………………
Terrible–this *poor man*.
And this is in “modern, moderate” Malaysia.
kuriakose says
As muslims learn more re their faith, this sort of actions are inevitable. Moderation only existed in the distant past when the British colonised the country, introduced their legal system which became the system practised for a long time. And also the education system of the West, which introduced democratic ideals, and notions of equity and justice. All this is being eroded and we see a parallel syariah system now. The only thorn for the muhameddans is the presence of a significant number of non muslims, standing in the way of a complete syariah system. Also it is clear for the western educated muslim that syariah will be a disaster for the country. And the Chinese hold the keys to economic propsperity.
The ignorance of the current muhameddan is woeful, their ideas of pre immigration/colonisation times compared to colonisation are warped by delusions of islamic supremacism.
So one strategy of islam is to fool as many non muslims into converting to their sick ideology-dawah. They use bribery and lies to present an islam removed from reality. Eg, when a muhameddan wanted to marry a 12 year old girl, one prominent malay cited the prophet marrying 40 year old Khadijah, and of course leaving out the case of Aishah, as well as all the multiple wives. Yes, they do offer money to non muslims to convert, as per the example of the prophet of islam.

One more country I will never visit (I like travelling).
People like Mohammed are in prison (murderer, and he had sex with a child), and if someone says something bad about him, than they put him into prison??
gravenimage says
People like Mohammed are only in prison in the civilized world–in Dar-al-Islam they are often considered upstanding members of the community…
Max says
Mahathir is Malaysia’s PM and he hates Christians, Jews and anything else about the West with extreme passion. Why would anybody that is not a Muslim decide to live in that dangerous country?
Dov Berrol says
Maybe it’s time to boycott all Malaysian products. The next time you are shopping for clothes or appliances, check to see if it was made in Malaysia. If yes, don’t buy it.

I’m no fan of any of the “great” religions, or any religion based on a magic book. But it’s insane that the most toxic, barbaric, & dangerous of all the religions is the one we’re supposed to respect, for some reason, while the others are considered fair game for comedians, atheist authors, etc., etc. And it’s crazy that the devotees of that most vile religion are a priveleged & protected class, and are eagerly welcomed to the West, and given welfare benefits and priority in hiring at universities, hospitals, etc.
The world has been turned upside-down; and it’s been done by “progressives” who don’t see the harm done by political correctness, and who are too lazy to think for themselves or do a little honest, objective research.
