#1 Proselytizing of Muslims by members of other religions is prohibited in Malaysia, a moderate, predominantly Muslim Southeast Asian country.

Whew! For a second there I was beginning to think it was a radical country.

#2 I'm a moderate, too, of the non-Muzzy fry 'em up variety. Moderation is nice.

#3 When it comes to fryin' up radical muzzies, moderation is for monks. A take-off on a quote by Lazarus Long.

#4 I've got a number of citations for âdisturbing the peace in a religious mannerâ that need distributing. I hear the USMC is good at that sort of delivery.

#5 SF: Let's just blanket the country using the USAF. No need to get the Marines involved in "light work."

#6 While I can certainly see the unreasonable aspect of this whole episode, I have to say that these people being detained, had they indeed engaged in the actions the Malaysians say they did, should get no external help from U.S. officials. A visitor or visitors to a country are subject to its laws, whatever they may be, and should one violate that law knowingly, they are at the mercy of those responsible for law and order (or lack of). If this sounds too harsh, then the proper solution is, DON'T GO THERE IF YOU CAN'T ABIDE BY THEIR LAWS.

Case closed.
