The gutless wonders that pass for MP's in our country who suck up to the religious doongies need to realise that the Constitution of the Cook Islands is quite clear, the Cook Islands' constitution guarantees freedom of religion, which includes the right to worship and establish places of worship. Any attempt to close down a mosque without legal grounds could violate these rights and set a dangerous precedent for religious discrimination. Here we have christians who sin 6 days of the work not only in substance but in mind and the hypocrits are judging others.
