At a guess, I'd say it was a bad thing to do, reasons being it would involve more work, when they are probably very busy as it is, and bring red tape to the situation which previously didn't exist. Eg. Don't draw attention to it too much, and we might hear something. Ask for information and they wil...

I'm sorry, but didn't us Christians have The Crusades where we went and slaughted plenty of folk in other countries... Looks pretty equal to me..

> A true Muslim cannot Which is perhaps where the issue really is, as I wouldn't vote for anyone who was a true believer of any religion.
