Why be surprised that this is the reaction from the christians, the largest purveyors of proselitisation of their religion. if the same thing had happened to christians in say a Hindu country like India, you would be hearing about how hindus are obstructing freedom of religion. What a crock. The same religion that issues threats to outsiders or those who might choose to leave this cult, that they are going to hell is the same one that wants freedom of religion. What hypocracy!

Isn't it a thin grey line between culture and religion anyway? Some religions are to integrated into some cultures, it is nearly impossible to distinguish the two. The devil is in the details folks. Let's not just hear the word religion and stop thinking. I only hope there were no knee jerk response with this issue. Cooler thoughtful heads should always prevail.
