The Government is to announce plans to stop politically-motivated campaign groups using British courts to secure arrest warrants for visiting foreign officials.

Of course, whenever the misdeeds, crimes and muderous behaviour one of our dubious chums (Saudi Arabia, Israel) is brought up for questioning, it becomes “politically motivated”. But when we need to invade other countries, whether it is to grab resources or continue promoting our delusional sense of self-importance, we will dress it up with all the appeals to international law, peace and security.

Malaysia has defended a decision not to prosecute two Muslim journalists accused of desecrating a communion wafer in a Catholic church, saying they acted out of “sheer ignorance”.

The archbishop of Kuala Lumpur Murphy Pakiam has criticised the government’s “failure to act” over the incident, in which the pair joined a Catholic service to investigate claims Muslims were illegally converting.

“The journalists have displayed utmost disrespect for the Catholic community when they admit receiving and spitting out the Holy Communion,” he told a press conference Thursday.

However, the government’s top lawyer, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, said the pair did not understand the significance of the wafer, which Catholics believe represents the body of Jesus Christ.

“The actions of the two reporters may have hurt the feelings of the people but I was satisfied that they did not intend to offend anyone. It was an act of sheer ignorance,” he said in a statement late Thursday.

According to the BBC report the two journalists spat out the communion wafer.

Not that some Muslims, and certainly not those in Malaysia, have a reputation for getting upset at something they deem offensive.
