Which Far Eastern countries are you referring to; where exactly is the Christian Bible "... illegal ..."? According to this source,
Christianity has a long been established and is

What is your source, for that assertion? According to this source,
Christians are the second largest religious minority community in Pakistan. "The total number of Christians in Pakistan is approximately 2,800,000 in 2008, or 1.6% of the population." By saying "... anyone who owns a copy ..." you seem to be implying that all Christians in Pakistan who own a copy of the Christian Bible are liable to be accused of blasphemy and receive a death penalty. That seems to be a sweeping statement, which could exacerbate the Christian Muslim conflict.
