Malaysia Uses Anti-Terrorism Laws To Stop Bloggers

Academiphiliac writes to mention the BBC reported in an article this morning that the Malaysian government may start using tough anti-terror laws to censor bloggers who insult either Islam or the country's king. "The move comes as one of Malaysia's leading online commentators has been questioned by police following a complaint by the main governing party. The new rules would allow a suspect to be detained indefinitely, without being charged or put on trial. But officials insist the law is not intended to strangle internet freedom."

Likely because they have a good life and when it comes down to it it's more important than God.

Hmmm.. Not being a Christian myself can you quote me where their God demanded that they kill themselves in His name?

Or are you just making up rules on how you think their religion should work instead of going to the source?
