Malaysia Frees "Anti-Islamic" Blogger

Posted by timothy on from the how-merciful-of-them dept.

quarterbuck writes "The Malaysian blogger who was under arrest on sedition charges has been freed by the courts. Raja Petra Kamarudin's comments were interpreted by the government as being anti-Islam and anti-government; he was arrested under Malaysia's Internal Security Act. Now, a court has ruled that the government was overstepping its limits in what is being called a landmark ruling."

    Christians somehow managed to learn a little tolerance. Let's hope Muslims can step up soon and do the same.

    It wasn't that long ago that all of those things you mention were un-Christian.

    And the un-Christian part has not changed much. What has changed is Christianity being separated from Government. Put them in charge and they'll bring back the dark ages.
