Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

So is this in Cambodia, or are they now just searching out any 'insult' to their religion by the infidel's, regardless of where?

Nah well, if they did that in Europe with a Jesus figure nailed to the cross, reactions wouldn't be very positive, too.

I don't recognise the skyline as Cambodian - it's not Vietnam is it?

They'd be praised from Berkley to the BBC as free thinkers, cutting edge artists, brave young women challenging traditional norms and archaic patrirachical beliefs, and fully exercising their human rights to free speech and expression. And any attack on them for a lack of respect would be written off as backward, anti-progressive and reactionary, perhaps even misogynistic and repressive.

Not necessarily. Here is the German law for example: "Whoever publicly or through dissemination of writings insults the content of religious or ideological beliefs in a manner that is likely to disturb the public peace shall be punished with imprisonment up to three years or a fine .

Likewise , anyone who insultes publicly or through dissemination of writings an existing domestic church or other religious society or ideological association , its facilities or customs in a way that is likely to disturb the public peace." (Google translation !!!!)

So, if you entered a German church and did this what the braindead chick in picture 1 does.......I guess you would get problems.

If it is in Cambodia, taking offense makes a certain amount of sense. It is after all their country. But if they are beginning to search the world for examples of infidel's insulting their religion so they can get all offended, they are heading down a dangerous path.
