| Message | that language do you speak? talking about religion bill we want no changes at all on Article 3 and 4 we agree on the rest. Do we have a deal? Taxation of religious institutions. tax as said only on profit, for example a charity org. and religious institution helps poor but the religious institution then have more money just because it's NOT TAXED. that is unfair. if a religious institutions for example invest in stocks, houses normal tax will apply. AND The State's policy concerning religious clothing. judges , police, hospitals ( public) , schools ( only teachers in ordinary schools ) religious symbols may be dispayed in religious as longs as they don't violates anti-discrimination laws. |
