Samoa's prime minister proposes ban on non-Christian faiths

after vowing 'God-centred' leadership

By Doug Dingwall, Samoa reporter Adel Fruean and Lucy Cooper
Pacific Beat

Topic: Christianity

10h ago

Laaulialemalietoa Polataivao Fosi Schmidt said he wanted to stop Samoa encountering the same religious divisions as "neighbouring countries", and in the Middle East.

"It may not be happening now, but there will come a time when a large number could gather under a non-Christian religion in Samoa. Then we will face what we do not wish to see," he said.

"This is what we now see — it is the very thing that causes unrest and leads nations into conflict, even to the shedding of blood over matters of faith."

You can't say that now - the new laws -

you'll have to delete it and apologise to the Ayatollah.
