Than endorse my proposal to repeal Resolution 19, "Religious Tolerance"
Res. 19 is years old, poorly written, and though it may not say it - works in a way that holds free nations to a higher standard then those of Radical Islamic ones. If you still don't understand, please head to the bottom of page 4 of the UN Proposals List, and check out my reasoning.

Hopefully your endorsement will follow

Under UN laws, wars cannot be fought in the name of God or Gods. In addition, freedom of religion is required in UN nations. Therefore, any radical religious government would have to leave the UN and thus not be subject to UN laws.

If resolution #19 was repealed, it would allow radical governments to declare war in the name of God(s) and crack down on opposing religious groups.

If resolution #19 was repealed, it would allow radical governments to declare war in the name of God(s) and crack down on opposing religious groups.And they can't do that already, even with the law in place?

I'm going to have to agree. The NSUN can't ban ideologies, such as religious theocarcies, and the UN only condemns religious wars, you can still fight them.

What's the point anyway? Banning religious Wars will only cause religious theocracies to find another excuse. It's not religion nations fight war for, they fight wars for land, power, and booty.

I agree with repealing this resolution. It interferes with political freedom.

---Dr. Bob We fight war for our beloved Almighty Whoola, and if those who we fight happen to have a nice piece of land, money, and a wife better looking than any I currently have we see that as a side benifit of war.

All praise the Almighty Whoola... Whooo Whooo LaLa....

Res. 19 is years old, poorly written,
Repeal it only if one is prepared to deal with what will come once it gets repealed. Also are there not resolution been on the table longer a lot worse than this needs to be repealed first.
and though it may not say it - works in a way that holds free nations to a higher standard then those of Radical Islamic ones. All nations in the UN are free so how does it place higher standards on any one nation over another. Also name one Radical Islamic nation in the UN and show us how it must follow the resolutions to a higher standard than any other member nations. As the resolutions are applied the same on all members nations. Those that are not equaly applied to all members need for sure to be repealed and one put in place that can be applied to all member nations equaly.

I agree with resolution. In fact I agree so highly that we should expand it to other religions.
Shoot, I mean radical Christianity started the Crusades and the Holocaust, (not to mention modern lunatics like Pat Robertson, who believes that Al-Aqsa mosque must be demolished to make room for the Temple on the Mount to be rebuild in order for the rapture to occur)
There are lots of radical Jews who feel that islam should be nuked off the face of the Earth
There are Hindu extremists, Catholic extremists, Protestant extremists, and, for god's sake, even Buddhist extremists.

My point is this, Islam is far from alone in Religious Radicalism, and should not be singled out as such.

the Temple on the Mound

OOC: "Ahem!" It's 'Mount', not 'Mound'...

Bahgum is confused, what is this 'islam'? Is it related to 'christianity', 'hinduism', druidism' and those other myths and legends we hear of from that well known fiction land of 'real world'?
Doesn't the Un have better things to discuss, which are not make believe?

Jazvad Island agrees, as a more sympathetic approach to Islamist countries may bring them in to the UN, where they can reform their ways to a point, even if not as far of a point as some of us would like.

OOC: I'm sure Christianity exists here, since at least one issue mentions Catholics. I don't recall any reference to any of the others outside of RP, but it seems safe to assume that if Catholics are here, the other religions probably are too.

My point is this, Islam is far from alone in Religious Radicalism, and should not be singled out as such.

In the Name of the Eternal Kawaii, may the Cute One be praised

We rise to declare that the followers of the Cute One take second place to none in the zeal of our faith. If any religion here is to be singled out as radical, we demand it be ours!
