My question is, why would a Muslim object to health care? I know that Christian Science has their views, but I don’t know of any within the Islamic relgion. So, I just think this is a stretch. I just want accuracy when we post something and I do know that the above information was a spammed email.
`(5) RELIGIOUS CONSCIENCE EXEMPTION-
`(A) IN GENERAL- Subsection (a) shall not apply to any individual (and any qualifying child residing with such individual) for any period if such individual has in effect an exemption which certifies that such individual is a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof described in section 1402(g)(1) and an adherent of established tenets or teachings of such sect or division as described in such section.
`(B) EXEMPTION- An application for the exemption described in subparagraph (A) shall be filed with the Secretary at such time and in such form and manner as the Secretary may prescribe. The Secretary may treat an application for exemption under section 1402(g)(1) as an application for exemption under this section, or may otherwise coordinate applications under such sections, as the Secretary determines appropriate. Any such exemption granted by the Secretary shall be effective for such period as the Secretary determines appropriate.
as the Secretary may prescribe / The Secretary may treat / as the Secretary determines / granted by the Secretary / as the Secretary determines appropriate.
As to whether Muslims are exempted, the answer is: as the Secretary decrees. That section 1402(g)(1) referenced above? - unable to locate.
