<<People who publicly curse and blaspheme should be stopped.>> Never,Never! When a Hindu or,other outside the broad Judeo- Christian western tradition sing their religious praises, many hear only blasphemy. What falls as a curse to the ears of one, may well be simply another's attempt to save all nations. Can any religion prosper when one is destroyed by a government? These things being suggested by this government are only less by degree than done by Hitler.

If there is one thing clear about the First Amendment rights of freedom of religion and speech is that there is an absolute and complete perfect right to curse and blaspheme. Even though you are Canadian, I understand, you have a right to curse people and damn them to hell. And everyone else has the right to blaspheme, whatever that may mean. No doubt you recall the crime for which Jesus was condemned by the Sanhedrin and executed by the Romans. Under Jewish law and normal theology, your naming yourself the "Elect of God" would be considered blasphemy.
