Praise the Lord that Lina Joy has found Christ. It was a wondrous day when that happened and her eternal salvation is ensured. But the earthly entity that governs Malaysia has determined that from a legal standpoint, she is and will always be Islamic unless she is officially declared an apostate (which isn't a good thing in an Islamic society).
I notice that a number of organizations and countries have protested the Lina Joy ruling and I wonder why any other country should have a say in how Malaysia makes these determinations. I know as a right thinking American, I'd feel pretty upset if some other country tried to tell us how we had to do something.
If it is right that other countries can tell Malaysia how to identify its people as far as religion is concerned, then would we have the right to enforce Lina Joy's rights via military intervention and economic sanctions?
