| Message | Article 13 is confusing to us, to be frank... Does the National Federalist Union want to bow down to the foreign cultural practices, totally incompatible with Kanjorian values, that exist in our suburbs? Sharia law is a fascist ideology and is not compatible with our democratic Hosian society, people who want to be part of such barbarism can move to Ahmadi-majority countries. Further, why does the NFU want to promote degeneracy by legalizing incestous acts? Beastiality and pedophilia don't belong here, neither do mildly saying these disgusting practices that result in a poor gene pool and a deconstruction of the Kanjorian family. We will vote no for this bill, even though it contains some useful things such as Article 2. |
