Debate on calls to ban Islam in Samoa

Catholic bishop in Samoa stays away from Islam debate

RNZI reports the National Council of Churches made the call two weeks ago, and called for Christianity to be further entrenched in the constitution.

But Archbishop Alapati Lui Mataeliga says his representative on the council did not ask him for his opinion on the matter.

He says it's wrong to identify Islam and terrorism, and the best way forward for all religions is peaceful dialogue.
