| Message | "The law as it currently stands protects religious beleifs against public ridicule and disrespectfulness without giving any spcial recognition to any particular religion. The people of Tukarali are free to practise their religion, whatever that religion that may be. They are also free to practise no religion at all. All the law currently does is according religious beliefs a modicum of respect and protection against agressive ridicule, and the UDT/TDU does support that status quo." Adelardo de Freitas, UDT/TDU spokesperson for Justice |
