The "Passion" in Malaysia
Re: Malaysia screens 'Passion' -- for Christians only
Muslims will not be permitted to see The Passion of the Christ. [They are not allowed by law to convert from Islam, either; conversions to Islam from other faiths are not proscribed, however.]
A decade ago, then-PM Dr. Mahathir Mohamed (Dr M as he was Orwellianly known), banned Schindler's List, for "being sympathetic to Jews" and not adequately showing the German side of the story (see TV and Film Censorship in Malaysia).

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
