| Message | 1. The reason only recognised religions may set up religious schools is to prevent dangerous sects from opening a school to lure in children into their organisation. 2. They are regulated as we don't want children being trained for "Holy Wars" in our country. This act is an open invitation to terrorism and dangerous sects. |
