Religion of Tolerance: Americans Arrested in Moderate Islamic Country of Malaysia for Distributing Christian Pamphlets to Muslims

Religion of tolerance my ass. Islam is only tolerant as long as you think of tolerance in the 15th century conception of the term. I would really love to be wrong on this one, but name one Muslim country where a Christian may openly evangelize Muslims. Meanwhile, in the Islamophobic and intolerant West name one country that forbids Muslims from openly evangelizing Christians. Via Dhimmi Watch this AFP article:

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"...

1 How come I have to come here to find this? Why is it not big headline, front page news in the MSM?

2 That is a rhetorical question you all. All you have to do is see how the MSM has covered Janice Rogers Brown the last week to know that they are anti-Christian; and have been for probably 50 years.

4 I just wish it was legal to shoot anyone found hustling their preferred deity on my front porch. Of course, I would be sporting and give them a warning shot.

5 Improbulus, sounds like Leftwing bloodlust. We rightwingers hate traitors and America-haters, you Leftwingers hate people of faith. Just stating the facts.
