Pic: Parishioners leave Tonga church after a service

Churches in the Cook Islands are advocating for the nation to be officially recognized as a Christian state, following the discovery of a mosque in Rarotonga.
The Cook Islands Christian Church has proposed a constitutional amendment to establish Christianity as the foundation of the country’s laws and governance.
Opposition leader Tina Browne, also a member of the select committee reviewing the proposal, expressed concerns, “At the moment, it’s definitely unconstitutional and I am a lawyer, so I think like one too.”
The initiative gained momentum after a mosque, Masjid Fatimah Rarotonga, was discovered on the island late last year. Select committee chair Tingika Elikana acknowledged this event as the catalyst for the proposal. He also raised concerns about potential conflicts with international human rights commitments.
“Some of the questions by the committee is the impact such an amendment or provision in our constitution [would have] in terms of us being parties to most of these international human rights treaties and conventions,” Mr Elikana said.
William Framhein, interim secretary of the Cook Islands Christian Movement, supports the proposal but also seeks to reverse the 2023 decision that decriminalized same-sex relations, labeling it a “western concept” incompatible with local values. He said, “We believe that the country should be declared a Christian country and if anyone else belongs to another religion they’re free to practice their own religion but it doesn’t give them a right to establish a church in the country.”
Tatiana Kautai, a Muslim resident of Rarotonga, expressed concern over potential marginalization of non-Christian communities. “People have a right to practice their religion freely especially people who are just going about their day to day, working, supporting their families, not causing any harm, not trying to make any trouble. To marginalise those people just seems unfair, and not right.”
The select committee continues to gather submissions, aiming to balance the nation’s cultural identity with its international obligations and the rights of all citizens.

Jo Bogan says“So why do muslims and jews need their own buildings. Just book the church on Saturnday or whatever it is”
Having their own buildings is all about having a dwelling place for whatever ghost(s) they happen to be worshipping.
But the somewhat obvious issue that’s not clearly spelled out in the write-up is the vying for State support, as I allude to below. Becoming “officially approved” like so has naturally been the death of dinky-di Christianity and in the same token it’s allowed countries like Australia to be infiltrated by Islam
Here’s another example of politicisation at the expense of the tax payer who doesn’t stand to gain anything:

You are delusional with your self-relevance and you delight in wickedness and will perish.
Go and try to put a pox on someone else, or else learn critical thinking.
The story of the guy who lived in a fish’s belly for a week is a crock.
The guy Saul/Paul who packed out the “New Testament” is dodgy.
The story the universe was created 4000 BC, what’s the use of it.
Catholicism is a racket of the post-Roman empire.
The talking snake story is vexing or vexatious.
etc.
Joe I really hope you may learn to love knowledge and truth
Try starting at Proverbs chapter 1
Also see 2Thessalonians 2, 10-12

Henry Makow is just a possessed hater, these people who have found their culprit before they have studied the evidence, bore me. As for usury, it was obviously known even before money existed, it is called “striking a bargain”, they also had futures, that is for example lending your bull to make a calf which is not created yet, or paying for a crop in advance before it was harvested. All these types of arrangements are perfectly obvious, no need for Jews to show them, how dumb do you think the Romans were.
As for Noah, the story is a crock. I think Moses was fully Egyptian though and the story of baby Moses is also a crock.
Joe Bogan, nothing has just simply disappeared.
Do you not know that Joseph the son of Jacob became prime minister of Egypt. Do you not know that Shem the son of Noah was the first powerful ruler of Egypt?
The Roman’s elite did not disappear, but many ended up in Venice and The Jews deceived them into beginning the early days of USURY.
Eventually they managed to corrupt the wealthy Christians and Muslims into engaging in USURY that Jesus Christ had exposed them for this evil that was in total opposition to their former Law of mosses Covenant with God.
Once the synagogue of Satan had corrupted them with money, they had them by the nose rings and have led the world with their mafia control ever since. The only real Mafia is derived from the underworld occult and their multigenerational families of hateful violent satanists.
Many excellent articles at blog by former religious jew who became a follower of Jesus Christ at henrymakow.com

The “Elders of Zion” belies your source, it was “Sages de Sion” before the Russian revolution. Your conventional jew story traces everything back to the goat herding tribes of nowhere and fails to account for the great empires of Egypt and Rome which simply went underground and are still operating as the bloodlines some of which we know so well. Statecraft was practised for generations by these people and it is their trade. Their landmarks are everywhere, Cleopatra’s needles are used for all monuments, Horus eye on pyramid even on the Aus $100 Bill. Greco-Roman buildings everywhere. The closest to jews is the Pope’s fish hat (Phoenician). If you want to go way back there is the Phrygian cap on various emblems.
Joe Bogan 1 & 2
Joe Bogan 2 said – “… I think Australia should convert to Greek Orthodox…”
Holy Shit Dude! Now there’s two of you?
Anyway, I recommend going with Russian Orthodox, that way Vlad might launch a Special Military Operation and come save our sorry arses.
The problem has always been simple.
Jesus Christ warned the world about the dangerous “Synagogue of Satan”
Many nations took heed of the warning for centuries but modern Politics disregarded the warning and allowed the Synagogue to run riot throughout western world and destroy healthy Christian based laws and social order.
The Synagogue created Catholicism and Islam to breakdown the strength of Christianity and eventually via the Illuminati/Freemasons/Zionism the Synagogue began seriously infiltrating all of the Christian sects and began to even establish multiple new pretense Christian sects in the era when Christianity thought they were having a great Reformation.
the Synagogue took control of Britain 1694 when they gain full control of the bank of England and they set up the first major secret services for the bank, and they eventually also became the American secret services.
The Ashkenazi Synagogue people and many of their Talmud chronies took control of much of the Lordships in Britain by buying their way into marrying into many of the Lordships, Barons etc families and began the new Royal bloodlines through Rothschild’s and Co the created the greatest family crime syndicate the world has ever know.
The new Royal became satanic Druids at night and fake Christians during daylight, and this is how the world Elite live today.
The Edomite, Idumean pharisee/suducees of former Judah that were never part of the original 12 tribes of Jacob ( Israel ), and Jesus proves this in the gospels when he got them to admit that their forefathers were never enslaved in Egypt, like all of the peoples of the 12 tribes of Jacob were enslaved for a time.
Now we have our country totally under the hidden ( occult ) rule of the Synagogue of Satan and former PM Billy Hughes appears to have known and said this publically.
This is very brief but it is true, and yes some of the Synagogue criminal come from Switzerland
If we vote for any of their paid puppets we are fully supporting the Synagogue and the unlawful Corporations masquerading as the peoples Govt’s. The Protocols of the learned Elders of Zion and the Talmud show us clearly that the Synagogue has planned to destroy us for many years.
“following the discovery of a mosque in Rarotonga.”
Discovery? Did it appear overnight, a veritable Muslim miracle? Astonishing!
PS I wonder if Ratotonga is the same idyllic paradise as when I was last there, in 1963?
Eddd888 said – “… OH! Like muslims do, worldwide, wherever they get a foothold in a community?”
Seems you’re being a bit one-eyed about all this, Ed. Maybe take a few steps back and see the bigger picture.
Countries like Syria had prosperous and peaceful communities of Muslims, Christians and yes, even Jews, all thriving together – until America stuck its tentacles into the region and trained up its very own head-chopping Jihadis (they used to call them Isis, God only knows whatthey rebranded them to now) to destabilise and destroy Syria.
Mission accomplished, just BTW.
And Palestine was the same, with Muslims, Christians, Jews and everyone else all getting along fine together – until the Master Race staked its claim on the land and decided to exterminate all the resident Goyim.
The point being, religion is NOT the issue here. As a matter of fact, in my experience, Muslims are some of the kindest and most empathetic people you could hope to meet.
And there are some bad ones too, but are we saying that doesn’t apply to ALL religious denominations?
And also just BTW, someone CLAIMING to be of a particular faith isn’t sufficient to verify it. Mass murderers only seem to be acceptable and even celebrated in a certain Master Race doctrine, if you know what I mean.
The issue that IS facing us is MILLIONS of Third World immigrants pouring into our countries from INCOMPATIBLE CULTURES. So many many refugees, all eager to come for the freebies and free women in Europe and North America and here too in Australia, and their home countries are more than happy to SEND them. Important point – there’s a reason for that, why would their home countries be wanting to RID themselves of these people?
And this is ALL being done with a very specific destructive purpose that most people finally have begun to grasp, the object being to dismantle and destroy our affluent Western societies from within.
IMO we should be targeting the ones CREATING all these problems for us, not so much the manufactured problems that they create.
Because you DO understand that it’s the orchestrated conflict between all these groups that they WANT, right?
It’s like buying kebabs, I can have a Lebo kebab or a Turkish kebab but the Greek kabab will be the best, still if I’m hungry any kebab will probably suffice. So why do muslims and jews need their own buildings. Just book the church on Saturnday or whatever it is. Before jews and muslims were made into universal scapegoats it was Catholics vs Prottos. The Prottos split into a bunch of factions which are gone now. I think Australia should convert to Greek Orthodox, Catholic is way too dodgy. The old temple of Apollo was at Geneva, somewhere near to the CERN. Apollo was the precursor to Jesus or God. Apollo was the one-stop-shop. If people want to talk to God in a special building just go ahead and stop elevating these saints and prophets to deities. You can talk to God anywhere without any telecomms contract.

HEY AUSIES, GET YOUR LITLLE CARPET READY AND GO BUY A KORAN, YOUR RIGHTS DON’T MATTER ANYMORE.
The proponents are obviously missing the fact that, bar the politicisation of Christianity, Islam would never have been born in the 1st place.
Have any of them paid any attention to the whys of the U. S. 1st amendment?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
NB: Religious neutrality is deemed synonymous with “freedom of speech, or of the press”
Have any of them taken stock of how, conversely, Islam has gotten under the skin of the “Christian” king of “Christian” Great Britain ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH4EwmLpfBc
Have any of them taken stock of the fact that, some citizens of that nation and other”Christian” nations have been jailed for dissing the Koran ?

OH! Like muslims do, worldwide, wherever they get a foothold in a community? THAT kind of marginalizing? Like, say, virtually, all of Europe?
Respecting other religions is a well-known hallmark of Islam. That’s why Stockholm is now the rape capital of Europe, at the hands of those wonderful Muslim refugees, appropriately, nicknamed “Rapefugees” by the locals. What a thing to be so proud of!!

Hey, if Saudi Arabia can do it, why not Cook Islands?
But if they’ve got anyone like AnAL and Lurch and Penny Wong (hey, that’s a parody name in itself, folks) involved, then they’ll all be Muslim soon enough.
Just like here in Australia.
Just BTW, folks, no disrespect intended to our Muslim brothers and sisters, all the disrespect in every possible sense is coming at ALL of us from our Treasonous foreign-owned self-annointed “elites”.
And the armies of shit-for-brains granny-bashing hired mercenary thugs who protect them.
