How does one “abuse the Koran” in Indonesia? Simply by praying that all Muslims “come to know Christ.” That’s the lesson that 41 Christian leaders learned this week as an Indonesian judge sentenced them each to five years in prison for the offense.

According to Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) Australia, the Christians were part of Campus Crusade for Christ. During a December 2006 prayer meeting, “they prayed for their nation asking that all Muslim leaders come to know Christ.” Unbeknownst to the Christians gathered there, the comments were being caught on video. That footage founds its way into the hands of a Muslim organization, and charges were filed.
