| Message | This is not about freedom but about the GRP trying to help their terrorist friends. Otherwise they wouldn't want to persecute 'cults'. |

| Message | Is that better? |

| Message | Recent events have proven that the state must have the right to veto ministers to keep extremists from power. Keep missionaries out, put veto rights in and leave all other laws concerning religion as they are. Then we can accept lifting the ban as a compromise. |

| Message | So the GRP is fine with murders and bombings when it's aimed against a policy they disagree with. Maybe someone should take a closer look at the connection between the GRP and radical groups. |
