2 21 followers were arrested for possessing documents contrary to Islam...Members have been jailed in the past for attempting to renounce Islam

Sounds like a nice, free country, this Malaysia. Keep this case in mind the next time someone claims it's a "moderate" country.

3 Oh it's moderate. Any other Muslim country, it'd be an unreported scorch-mark on the ground.

5 The sect is noted for building a giant teapot to symbolise its belief in the healing purity of water

Finally we have a reality-based working definition of Moderate Islam.

9 When I first read this, I thought it was a Monty Python sketch - I mean really, picture the scene:

Group of people sitting around a giant teapot discussing the benefits of 'milk before tea', talking about the weather and generally being nice to each other when all of a sudden a bunch of turbans come hurtling around the corner lobbing Molotovs! - and then they turn out to be totally incompetent, 30 armed men hurling petrol bombs and just starting a small fire? - pathetic!

I half expected to see John Cleese mentioned in it somewhere.

The depressing thing is that we'll probably hear some time later on that they've all been killed by representatives of the RoP.
