Discrimination against Cham ? US Religious Freedom Report.

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.

Out of genuine curiosity, do you any Cham?
I presume you mean "Do you know any Chams?" The answer is yes, I have had Cham friends here for pretty much all the time I've been here. I don't see what the fuss is about, they are just like anyone else to most extents. Nearly all I know have all studied abroad (Australia/ Malaysia ).
I assume they don't pray 5 times a day and likely drink?

Yeah, they're nothing to fuss about, agreed.

Strangely enough, I know quite a few Muslims who drink. Also Jews who eat pork. So what. I'm not going to tell them that they are unbelievers. Lol. :nono:

Cool, as they also don't have much belief in true Islam either. Nothing to fuss about. :thumb:
