I'm especially sensitive to this because I was brought up Protestant when I should really have been Catholic (Irish Italian parentage) and now I have a French daughter-in-law who was educated as a Catholic but is Muslim. The wedding (after the compulsory French state civil ceremony) was conducted by a Chruch of England minister but with readings from the Koran. It was the most moving ceremony I could have imagined. It can be done. We can live in harmony. <em>A.'s last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AChangingLife/~3/235161722/peace.html' rel="nofollow">Peace</a></em> Very interesting point.

No just kidding. I agree. We have that problem in Norway. Most people are within the state church, but the schools are not allowed to teach our religion because people in Norway have so many religions. It is almost funny. In respect for all religions it is not allowed to talk about religion - can you believe that? Amen Blasfemy!

I think it's a shame that our society has come to this, but it seems that the very people who talk about the need for tolerance are the least tolerant where religion is concerned.
