Going to Jail for what?

Malaysia Today Editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin is behind bars today in the Sungai Buloh prison.

He is remanded pending trial on October 6 on sedition charges for implicating Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in the murder of Altantunya Shaariibuu, a Mongolian woman who was shot dead and blown up with explosives sometime last year.

Some say he is a fool for getting into trouble writing about sensitive issues. But Raja Petra said he would gladly go to jail for upholding the truth and opposing evil. Perhaps a fool to many.

What are Christians like you and me willing to be jailed for? What are we willing to be a fool for?
