In-law's grandfather is in the hospital at the moment - but it's a Catholic hospital and they have some, (gasp), crucifixes on the walls. So, Najib won't go in there to visit gramps. Like he's a vampire or something? I have doubts that this relationship is going to work out.

There are also ignorant and potentially dangerous fanatics in very religion. Christians who think killing doctors and nurses who work in abortion clinics is justified, for example.
