Didn't come up on my screen Jim but your intro tells the story.
My pet gripe that here in Oz and maybe Britain none of them are required to pay taxes.

No religious organisations are required to pay taxes on their incomes.

When I worked for the Magistrates Committee we had to install special shelves for the Koran. It was not allowed to be on the same shelves as other religious books. In fact their religion deemed that the Koran must be placed higher than other books.
