The acting Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Dr Allan Marat, wants the constitution amended so violent religions can be banned from the country.
He says times have changed and PNG cannot leave the provision allowing for the right to freedom of religion unchanged.
Dr Marat told the Post Courier newspaper that any religion whose principles or teachings are repugnant to the general principles of humanity must be banned fromm PNG.
Dr Marat, who stressed that he was expressing a personal view, says the people behind the New York and Bali disasters are no respecters of human life.
