Two pastors in Bangladesh are facing two years in prison because they were preaching Christ where Muslims could hear them.

Arif Mondol of the Faith Bible Church of God in Lalmonirhat and his co-pastor were conducting a baptism with their congregation of 40 residents when a mob of about 200 Muslims stormed into their building and began attacking the pastors.

“More than 100 Muslims headed by local Jamaat-e-Islami party members and Muslim clerics gathered at the house and started barking questions at the pastors: why did they propagate Christianity in the locality and convert some of them,” a source told Morning Star News. “The pastors replied that it did not take any permission from any authority to propagate any religion and convert people to any religion.”

Local police arrested the pastors and every Christian in the building while doing nothing to the Muslims who caused the incident.

Mondol and his co-pastor have been released on bail pending a trial.

Bangladesh does not have laws against evangelism, so the pastors are being charged with “Hurting Religious Sentiments.”
