Following the arrest of two hundred Shi'a Muslims and the destruction or confiscation of religious books and artefacts in Malaysia I posted on my FaceBook wall a url to an online petition. Shortly afterwards I was contacted by a Malaysian brother who asked me to remove the link not because he approved of the arrests but because the petition in question focussed upon human rights abuses committed against the Hindus of Malaysia and he feared that the Malaysian Government might use the least hint of co-operation against their policies as an excuse for further oppression against both communities. In Malaysia joining together to ask that rights be recognised and protected is conspiracy to subvert the nation.
I've signed two petitions, one prepared by Hindus and one by Shi'as. May I ask you to do the same and pass the links to your friends and colleagues.

Not so much a conspiracy as an act of combination.
