    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to say that my fellow Christians should not behave as though they have never read the Bible. The Bible is very clear about giving. So, let us also not talk like this is something so new that we have never seen or heard of. I respect my good friend and brother, Hon. Duale, but I can assure him that I am not changing my faith any time soon because he has brought the Waqf Bill. I can tell him there are more than 30 provisions in the Bible that talk about giving. I can give a few examples. Proverbs 19:17 says whoever is generous to the poor gives to the Lord. Romans 12:13 talks about supplying the needs of the saints. If you look at the letter that Paul wrote to the Romans, he was actually on a mission of fundraising for the poor. It talks about several people. Actually, if you look at the last chapter, which is Chapter 16, he is sending greetings to several people and encouraging them and giving them accolades for supporting the church. So, what the Muslim faith is doing is similar to what the church is doing and none is superior to the other. On issues of faith, I do not think we should be talking about which one is superior or not. Let us just respect each other’s faith and see whether the standards that we are providing here are constitutional or not."
