| Message | "The correct number of Islamic Citizens is roughly around 30 Million peoples. (According to the Wiki) I would like to question the logic that a regulation to ensure correct teacing of religion is unreasonable and that the government will try to destroy any religion. We have been open and understanding on the right to practice other religions for longer then 500 years." "The majority of Pontesians have always been a Terran Catholics and we feel that it is necessary to accept the majority demand while also listen to the minority. I see absolutely no reason why we should destroy our heritage." James Taylor MP |
