Cambodia Bans Evangelism; Accuses Christians of 'Disrupting Society'

As always, click on title to see original article.

On the surface, this headline seems pretty funny. If you happen to be an Evangelical Christian, you might find it outrageous, but if you happen to be one of the rest of the majority of Americans and are of other faith (which includes everything from Pagan to Protestant), then you are probably chuckling.

Fact is, though, this is not all that extreme. In fact, I happen to work at an interfaith chapel on a private university campus, and in order to preserve the religious freedom of all of the students of the campus, there is a strict "non-proselytizing" rule. In essence, it is to prevent "disruption".
