...............I think churches should be allowed to retain their sancturary status. I’m not even catholic. But I don’t care. As long a person is in a church praying and volunteering and doing as the church asks them to do, i think they should be left alone no matter what they did...............

OK, So in another country, Osama or whoever should be able to enter a mosque, and expect sanctuary?? For the rest of his life?? Rerardless of what crimes the person committed?

To me, it makes absolutely no sense!

I think you don’t understand. If you don’t believe in god or church or religion or mosque or whatever, even then what difference does it make if the guy is doing years in a jail cell or years in a church building? At least in the church building he is doing the lord’s work, presumably.

In a mosque in the middle east we have seen proof that they are using the mosques as weapons stashes and such. That is a different matter. There would need to be an adjustment for such situations obviously. But a peaceable place of worship should not be violated by the state, no state. Not the US or the UN or any other nation. I don’t care what the religion. There are some questions as to whether islam is a peaceable religion and that would need to be looked into. Smarter people than me would have to figure out the details on that issue.
