that's kind of interesting...especially since other countries do not bend over backwards for other religions in police matters.

The law is the law...everyone, regardless of their religion, should follow the law of the country they are in. Being a different religion in another country doesn't automatically give you the right to a different set of laws according to your particular religion.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.
