Theologians of Terror

Arab News: Over 2,500 Muslim intellectuals from 23 countries have signed a petition to the United Nations calling for an international treaty to ban the use of religion for incitement to violence.

It also calls on the Security Council to set up a tribunal to try “the theologians of terror.” The petition is addressed to Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and to all members of the Security Council and its current chairman.

Wonderful idea, I only wish there was an institution more competent than the UN to bring it to.

Watch out! This is not as innocent as it may seem. In western nations “hate” laws have mainly been used to silence Christians for proclaiming their traditional doctrines. It is doubtful that 2,500 Muslim scholars are thinking of prosecuting Muslim clerics. It is more likely that they have Christian and Jewish leaders in their crosshairs.
