From Tom White's column in the November "Voice of the Martyrs":

"Muslim lawyers, in concert with the Australian court, are now bringing Christians to hearings simply for stating facts about Islam and for referring Muslims to specific references in their own Koran. Facts or the truth cannot be offered as a defense in this court. Basically, this law is written so that if the truth, including a historical document, causes someone of another religion to feel humiliated, then this offense is grounds for a hearing, trial and possible six-month imprisonment."

The specific case mentioned involves two Pakistani Christian ministers who informed some Moslems that Mohammed could not save people, and that Mohammed was not sure of his own salvation. They used Mohammed's own words from the Koran and the Hadith. Moslems were offended by the contents of their own religion; off the pastors go to trial.

"Under this law, the Victorian government can help the accusers write the accusation, in effect siding with the accusers." Won't it be fun when we have this kind of "tolerance" here? :-)

This is just over the top. The truth is the truth is the truth. Sounds like the courts have to decide for the offended. Why can't the pastors be offended that the Muslims are offended? Where will this ever end?
