Considering that the first colonies that would become the United States were founded by people seeking religious freedom, it is both outrageous and embarrasing that our government deals with Malaysia and similar countries as equals.

Any country that does not allow religious freedom should not be allowed to trade any products with the United States - not one article of clothing, not one computer chip, not one grain of rice. Some things are more important than money.
