In one of his books Li Hongzhi says: "Falun Dafa is a cultivation way of the Buddha School. No one is allowed to propagate any religions under the guise of practicing Falun Dafa." Does this mean one can't be Muslim or Christian and still practice Falun Dafa?

There's no such thing as Buddha Law, Buddha School and so on, and Falun Dafa is NOT part of Buddhist practice. It is a deviated teaching and has political reasons behind it. All genuine Buddhist schools reject their teachings and knows that Falun Dafa is dangerous.

What is "Buddha Law" after all? Is it a religion? A philosophy? That
is only the understanding of "the modernistic scholars of Buddhism".
They merely study the theory. They regard "Buddha Law" as something
like a category of philosophy and make a study of and do the so-called
research on it with a critical eye. Nevertheless, "Buddha Law" is more
than that little bit recorded in the Sutras, which only deals with
"Buddha Law" at the elementary level. "Buddha Law" is an insight into
all mysteries of the cosmos, and encompasses everything while leaving
out nothing from the particle, the molecule to the universe, from even
the smaller to the greater. "Buddha Law" is an exposition of the
cosmic qualities "Zhen Shan Ren" ( Truth Compassion
Forbearance) presented at different levels in different ways. It is
what the Tao School means by "Tao" and Buddha School by "Law".

As far as philosophy is concerned, Falun Dafa claims to be connected to Buddhism - but it is not. Buddhist do not affilliate themselves with it in any way. There are some strange beliefs associated with their thinking. The 'wheel of fire' for one. There are reported cases of people brainwashed to the point they thought they had to extract this wheel of fire out of their stomach and died when they sliced themselves open.
As far as the excercise is concerned, it is actually a form of Chi Gong. Personally, I think there are better forms of Chi Gong around to practice, but I don't think anyone really cares if you use their forms or not. It really has nothing to do with your religion.
