Yes I do. Keeping apart government and religious choice (Or separation of church and state, if you like) should be the ideal in today's world. Examples such as these count as being extreme in MY view.

This is not extremism. This is intolerance and censorship. 1) "Censorship in Malaysia is a growing concern for this south-east Asian Country as it attempts to adapt to a modern knowledge-based economy. The press is tightly restricted and the level of public debate is considered low. Many media works have been banned including Daredevil, an episode of the American television show Friends and the series Family Guy. Unlicensed use or possession of a printing press is illegal under the Printing Presses and Publications Act of 1984. Journalists are frequently given guidelines by the Prime Minister's Office when reporting 'sensitive' issues, and media self-censorship is encouraged. The Film Censorship Board of Malaysia is the Government agency responsible for granting licenses to the films for viewing. In print in 2006 alone 56 publications were banned by the Internal Security Ministry, including the Indonesian translation of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species. Deputy Science and Technology Minister Kong Cho Ha has announced that all Malaysian news blogs may have to be registered with the Ministry of Information saying the laws were necessary to dissuade bloggers from promoting disorder in Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society. Malaysia has a history of banning musicians. In 2003 US rock band Linkin Park were banned from wearing shorts while performing and in 2004, singer Mariah Carey was asked to cover up. Madonna has been banned from Malaysian television and a scheduled concert by Norwegian metal band, Mayhem, was banned earlier in 2006. Malaysian organizers of a Pussycat Dolls concert have been fined for flouting decency laws. Malaysia has also banned the release of the Bible in an Iban language translation."

Hermen Shastri, general secretary of the Council of Churches of Malaysia." "Customs department spokesman Iskandar Jaafar denied the Bibles were confiscated because of religious intolerance. "It's the normal procedure" to check if so many books were being imported for commercial purposes, Jaafar said, adding that the Bibles had been sent to the Internal Security Ministry. The ministry vets publications before they can be distributed. A ministry official said he was checking on the incident. Malaysian law forbids proselytizing by non-Muslims, although Muslims are allowed to encourage people to convert to Islam. Shastri said the woman was bringing the books to give to Bible study groups. He did not explain why she had to bring the books in from abroad."

No. I think it's practical. Religion needs to be eliminated, in my opinion.

I think religon should be eliminated from the public, and kept private only. Now media, music, and TV should never bee censored.

I don't know about the women case, but in Malaysia the authority restrict the usage of Allah as God for other religion other Islam to avoid confusion. For those who are Christian, you don't want Jesus replaced by Allah in your bible, do you? Thus in future, do you bother to include the reference for the question you ask. People might believe all your accusation. Cheers
