Dr. Rebecca Laonita Zakaria along with two other women was sentenced three years in jail for running a Christian kindergarten. Most of the students that attended the school were Christians, but there were also Muslims who also attended as well. Although the parents of the Muslim students allowed and gave permission for their students to attend the school, most Muslim students did not convert their religion to Christian; they remain as Muslims. The Muslim Clerics found this very offensive and did not like and agree the fact that these three women are running a Christian-based school, teaching students Christianity. Although these three women were sentenced three years in jail, they only stayed there for 2 years and was released June 2008. They received many cards and greetings from people all over the world, and only with their support and sympathy, made them stronger. This is an example of the Islamic extreme religion that force their belief in the society.Just like in the book how they banned the community from social gathering. The irony of this matter is Dr. Rebecca was just trying to help the community and educating the children, but instead she was put in jail for doing something good. When I first heard about Dr. Rebecca, I was amazed how extreme Muslims can be. To be honest, I never knew that teaching Christianity could be as dangerous as this.
