Wow, this is fantastic. And I have just realized that I've actually met the President of the European Parliament in person. He himself knows what it is to be a religious minority, being a lifelong Lutheran Protestant from a 95% Roman Catholic country... God willing I will write him a nice letter encouraging him to do what he can to cut short this movement from which no good can come...
BTW, those references you gave for Finland appear to be not for Finland, but for Switzerland...
Thanks for your support!
And also thanks for the heads up on Switzerland. I had searched for Finland first and went ahead and typed that, but then ended up finding the Swiss url and never changed it :-P
