Foreshadowing

In Malaysia, a Mill Creek man who is there studying languages was arrested for distributing Christian literature. All of my research on the state of religion in Malaysia indicates that they take their church-state bond very seriously, to the point that the government sponsors and funds pilgrimages to Mecca for its citizens. Malaysia is representative of the reason that democracy requires a separation of church and state. All of us who profess to understand the intent of our own democracy would undoubtedly say that this man has been unjustly jailed. Will the Republican leadership, including President Bush, recognize the dangerous path they travel when they seek to politicize faith?

Here is the King 5 article that reveals a little of the story.

I wonder how much of a big deal will be made about this in the media? Will it be hush-hush? Opposition could really use this as a showcase story to identify the dangers of our own congressional predicament vis-a-via the filibuster.
