One thing you don't do (unless you are truly stupid) is smuggle bibles into Islamic countries. Then again, if you are that stupid, you shouldn't brag about it on the internet. Last of all don't tell people what car you are driving and then (just to make certain you are caught) - post a picture of yourself.
Gareth- "I fancy some grilled fish, Jesus and disciples style down by the sea!"Safely on the African side we waited in 20c heat with cameras forbidden while a series of police and government officials checked our details, but the elaborate hiding of the Arabic Bibles in the roof panels was not tested as da Saab escaped searching! An hour, a bribe of 5 Euros and an orange later and we were into Tangier onto some of the best and emptiest motorways of all. Maybe London drivers in their 4 by 4’s have a point…it seems that you only need an off roader in England not Africa!

Great post. I bet Liosliath gets a laugh from this one. Had to be one of us Poms, didn't it? Can't play cricket and can't be trusted to travel overseas without being very foolish.
You were too kind to them. I see you waited to post this story until after they left the country. Or maybe they had a breakdown and we can still catch them! Idiots - all three of them.
Salam Hamid,
Yes we did wait until they left the country (accidents aside). They were so idiotic and I don't think they would have managed very well in a Moroccan court.

Hah! I would have reported them at once. Someone needs to make an example out of this type of tourist.
Thanks for sharing the story.

What???? How stupid are they!!!!!!!!!
I nearly died laughing. These guys should be entered in the Darwin Awards! Pity they weren't caught.
Only the Brits... DUH!
What? Bibles aren't allowed in Morocco?
Evangelizing is against the law. It seems a pity these kids weren't picked up.
Dumb kids, to be sure (though charitable, judging from their website).
Weirdly, I have seen the Moroccan-American Center for Policy in the United States present Morocco as a country open to evangelizing, to the point of saying Americans could open Bible colleges.
I'm not laughing, I'm rolling my eyes so hard it's creating a windstorm. Bloody limeys! (I say that tongue-in-cheek, since Brian mentioned Poms...)
