Uzbekistan

Bahauddin Z., Uzbekistan: "Best would be if there would only be one religion for all mankind. Even a child will wonder: If there are many religions, and every religion says, mine is the only correct one, then the suspicion arises that all are wrong. Therefore, the only right religion will have to prove its correctness by wiping out the others."

Najlepšie by bolo, keby tam by bolo iba jedno náboženstvo pre celé ludstvo. Dokonca aj dieta sa bude cudovat: Ak existuje vela náboženstiev, a každé náboženstvo hovorí, moje je len správne, potom vzniká podozrenie, že všetky sú zlé. Preto bude iba právo náboženstvo musiet preukázat jeho správnost, že nicí ostatné.
