| Message | Mr. Speaker While we fundamentally support freedom of religion ans religious tolerance and understand the moral good relgion can do for communitied and society we can not support this bill. Our biggest issue is with Article 3. We live in a world of Ahmedi and in some rarer cases Hosian extremism. Give free reign for these extremist religious sects to set up school where they can freely preach their hateful and violent views would be highly irresponsible and dangerous to our national security. As we recall we also touched on this point with the HRA the first time they attempted to introduce a similar bill and we are beginning to question why they would attempt to pass it a second time.
