Malaysia: Muslim protest halts forum on religion
The Christian Post reports:
Protesters forced lawyers in Malaysia to abandon a conference on religious conversion Saturday, decrying it as an effort to challenge the official status of Islam in this Muslim-majority country. (…)
The outcry over the conference - which was meant to examine how families are caught in legal conflicts if one spouse in a marriage converts to Islam - mirrors the resistance of some Muslims to what they say are minorities’ unfair demands for religious equality.
