Shouldn't the U.S. be protesting this? Outrageous! Americans Held on Religion Charges .c The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Three Americans were arrested for distributing compact discs and videotapes promoting Christianity, the Al-Khaleej newspaper reported Tuesday. The Sharjah daily quoted Dubai's prosecutor general. Calls to the prosecutor's office were not returned Tuesday, and the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi said it was aware of the case but would not comment further. The three Americans were arrested March 12, the newspaper said. It did not identify their church. If convicted of promoting a religion other than Islam or seeking converts, the Americans could face jail sentences of between five and 10 years. A fourth American was reportedly arrested for allegedly arranging their entry visas into the country. AP-NY-04-03-01 1116EDT Copyright 2001 The Associated Press.
