More Christian converts to face court in Algeria

ALGIERS (AFP) - Two Algerian converts to Christianity were due to appear before an Algerian criminal court on Wednesday accused of proselytizing, said head of the country's Protestant church Mustapha Krim.

"The trial has been confirmed for Wednesday," Krim told AFP, adding that the hearing would take place at Tissemsilt, 350 kilometres (220 miles) south-west of Algiers.

The two converts were each sentenced in their absence last November to two years in jail and a 5,000-euro (7,700-dollar) fine for illegally practising a non-Muslim religion.

They have asked to be sentenced again in their presence, as permitted by Algerian law.

The prosecution is the third to be brought against Christian converts in the mostly Muslim country.

The government in February 2006 passed a controversial law that requires non-Muslim congregations to seek permits from regional authorities.

Well if some muslim over here would convert himself to a Christian he/she haves a high possibility to be killed.. I am not surprised with this;...I am used to it :).






What was it, like 200 years ago that it was the other way around?



Yeah, Sharia and Islamic laws are very backwards and outdated in my opinion. Its kind of sad because for quite a while they had more civilised laws than Christian nations.

This is why I don't think religions and governments should mix. They always seem to go batshit crazy.

Yeah. I mean nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition.





Our chief weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms!

Try 1,000 years ago.  Just shows how many years behind they are over there.
