| Morocco jails German for trying to convert Muslims |
| 2006-11-30 |
| A Moroccan court jailed a German tourist for six months for attempting to convert Muslims in the southern resort of Agadir, officials said on Wednesday. The court in Agadir, Morocco's main tourist destination, found the 64-year-old man guilty of trying to "shake the faith of a Muslim," they added. Islam needs no self-confidence when it has control of the long arm of the law... The court also fined him 500 dirhams ($60) in its verdict issued late on Tuesday. "Six months and sixty dollars! Next case!" Court officials named the German of Egyptian origin as Sadek Noshi Yassa, who was arrested last week as he was distributing books and CDs about the Christian faith to young Muslim Moroccans in the street, the officials said. Under Moroccan law "anyone who employs incitements to shake the faith of a Muslim or to convert him to another religion" can be jailed for up to six months and fined. The verdict came after local media reports that some Christians had launched a clandestine campaign to convert thousands of Muslim Moroccans to Christianity. There are about 20,000 expatriate Christians in Morocco, most of them living in Rabat and Casablanca, according to estimates by European diplomats. |

| #5 Conversion is the only way out of the death sentence of misery that is islam. "Shaking the faith" means showing a muzzie the way out of the slavery they worship and the death cult it is. Can"t have muzzies thinking they can leave islam or they'd start losing their slaves in large numbers. Gotta kill any infidel who speaks of freedom. Or the truth about the cult of islam. |

| #4 And yet it is demanded of us we respect these regimes and their rabid cult. It is the Scientology of the seventh century. |

| #3 How did he "shake the faith of a Muslim"? Say something like "Christ loves you"? |

| #2 Meanwhile, foreign Muslims finance most of our mosques. No quid pro quo there. |

| #1 At least he wasn't sentenced to death. He can be lynched later. |
