Not just Catholics but all Christians need to be concerned about this. If you can worship as you chooose, privately in your church, but you can’t say in public, “I believe homosexuality is wrong; this is a tenet of my religion,” then you are (as it were) scr3wed.

Or if you were to say, “My religion teaches that all people are equal before God, and therefore we should treat all people the same, irrespective of their race,” then you are (as it were) scr3wed.

I think this is an attempt to open the door to public displays of Salah/Salat five times a day, regardless of where and when. Christianity and Judaism (to my knowledge per the latter) doesn't have these kinds of public dictates as Islam does....all the while still banning religioussymbols, which would affect the only public access that Christianity and Judaism have, since again, public acts are not dictated. I'll go a step further and say that the word "dictated" will be very important in the debates to come if this thing catches on and is implemented as standard fare.

It's another step towards domination, and submission to Islam, and it doesn't help that a lot of our fellow citizens are asleep at the wheel...
