Indonesia - Christians remain in jail

What was their crime? Allegedly trying to convert Muslims to Christianity.

In September 2005, Rebecca Loanita Zakaria, Etty Pangesti and Ratna Mala Bangun had been sentenced to three years' jail under Indonesia's Child Protection Act of 2002.

They were found guilty at a district court in Indramayu, West Java, of trying to convert Muslim children, in a case brought by the Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI). Their crime had been to invite some Muslim children to a "Happy Weekend" an event at the Sunday School for children where songs and games were to take place.


Folks, this is true Islam, a religion where you go to jail for trying to convert Muslims, get killed if you try to leave the religion, so called "honor killings" are common and women are treated like property. How on earth do people defend this?
