| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe some religions promote ideologies that are hamrfull to the public good and endorse violence and terrorism. Such religions should not be allowed to freely advertize themselves. While we understand the good sentiment behind the HoT's proposal, we must vote no. I yield. |

| Message | Sir, we understand the fear many have of other religions or religions known for violence. We though would like state that there are laws that all religions must obey, laws set in place to protect the public good and to prevent violence. If those laws are broken by the missionaries then they would have to face the punishment for those crimes like any other visitor to our nation would have to. We the HoT believe in freedom of religion and we believe that religion can be beneficial to our nation. |
