Laaulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao Fosi Schmidt called for careful consideration of the way forward to protect Samoa from religious extremism and violence.

Anecdotal for sure, but someone I know was brought up Catholic in Samoa. Aged about five he was caught in the heinous sin of playing football on the Sabbath. His punishment was kneeling on concrete for hours holding a Bible in each outstretched arm. I doubt there's worse "religious extremism and violence" going on than torturing a child for playing.
