| Message | Simply recognising a religion does not mean it should be free from regulation. For example, the government may recognise Ahmadism but that does not mean we want our schools teaching children how to create bombs and destroy buildings! Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |

| Message | Madame Wiley, Whatever you think about this bill I find your intolerance towards a major religion such as Ahmadism completely distasteful. Denver Brightside Patriotic Republican Party Religious Affairs Spokesperson |

| Message | Where exactly was I intolerant? Kathleen Wiley Majority Speaker of the House |

| Message | Madame Wiley, Surely, now, you are being disingenuous, no? But, ok, I will play along with you for the record. I would like to ask why in the example you gave earlier that you suggested that de-regulating Ahmadi religious schools is, in your opinion, linked to teaching school children how to create bombs and destroy buildings? Thank you Denver Brightside Patriotic Republican Religious Affairs Spokesperson |

| Message | I am not suggesting that is the case. It was hyperbole to illustrate the absolute necessity for regulation in the area of religious schools. We know that Ahmadis are more likely to be terrorists and murderers than regular Baltusians so we need to ensure we take the necessary precautions. That doesn't mean all Ahmadis are terrorists, just a significant quantity. Kathleen Wiley Minority Speaker of the House |
