I'm happy I am here too. In Saudi Arabia, non-Muslims are not allowed to gather and pray in public places like churches, etc. There are so many things women cannot do. I don't think they are allowed to drive either. This is the reason why the administration put it on the list of human rights violators. In Malaysia, it is illegal to witness to a Muslim, you can actually go to jail, or worse. Non-Muslims are not allowed to own a business without a 1/3 partnership with a Muslim. This is a moderate Muslim state. Turkey is probably the best example of a moderate Muslim state and yet they recently had a young boy shoot to death a Catholic priest after becoming inflamed at Christians because of the cartoon debacle.
I didn't know you can be put in jail for witnessing to a Jew in Israel - I never heard that - where did you hear that? There is a whole organization of what they call Messianic Jews. There is a whole mission in Israel to reach Jewish people with the message of Christianity, so, I don't know about what you are saying.
And the problem of Canada instituting Sharia Law for Muslims poses are real problem for women coming to the west and trying to get away from the Law of Sharia. Not surprising, they are not happy about it.
