| Message | The Almighty should be the spiritual heart of the nation. This proposal seeks to return Kafuristan to the dark days of state atheism when free citizens praising the Almighty in the manner which is deserved were persecuted. If this were not so, then why would a Bill asking for the mosque to stay out of public life then demand holy worship be taxed and that puppet Ministers be installed to bear false witness to the devout. Ayatollah Munir al-Helemi, First Minister (Alwazir Al'Awwal) of the Majatran Republic of Kafuristan |
| Date | 10:52:44, June 26, 2017 CET | From | Justice and Development Party | To | Debating the Secular Republic Act |
| Message | This is a falsehood! We are not in favour of atheism in any sense. We seek to separate religion and state not destroy or weaken one or the other. |
