Two Christian pastors in Australia have been found guilty of religious vilification of Muslims. The decision threatens us all.
One of the pastors, Daniel Scot, is Pakistani. He fled his native land seventeen years ago when he ran afoul of the notorious Section 295(c) of the Penal Code — which mandates death or life in prison for anyone who blasphemes “the sacred name of the holy Prophet Muhammad.” It’s a treacherously elastic statute that has been and is often used to snare Christians: cornered and made to state that they don’t believe Muhammad was a prophet, they then find themselves charged with blasphemy......
Can you imagine if people were prosecuted for saying negative things about Christianity? lol. The entire Eastern world would be sentenced to death. I just can't imagine the flipside of this coin. For those who think Christians are out to destroy other cultures and rape their religions, think again. Posted by Portia at December 22, 2004 02:44 PM
Unfortunately, Christian persuction results in death in many countries. Of course, the media will never report it and that's why most of us are unaware of the suffering that our brothers and sisters face for the cause of Christ. Be sure to check out Michelle Malkin's column today over at Townhall.com on this subject.
