Cease all criticism!

Usually we have to fret and stew about the delicate sensibilities of Islamic nutcakes lest pointing out the deficiencies of Islamic teachings or teaching some competing doctrine incite them to some new murderous rampage. Now, it's the teachings themselves that we have to worry about. The leader of a "deviationist" sect in Malaysia was sentenced to 11 months in jail and fined in 2001 for "humiliating Islamic teachings."

Good thing the Malaysians couldn't get their hands on Winston Churchill. Writing in 1899 about the Sudan, he said:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is the fearful fatalistic apathy. . . . No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."

Now the government of Malaysia is after the same deviationist for building a giant tea pot and umbrella, among other unusual structures, in a rural area because they are not "structures related to agriculture." They were built over 10 years ago but their nonagricultural nature has just now been discovered by the government. Who knew?

Next thing we know some Muslim is going to hurt the feelings of the Book of Deuteronomy.
