	Tibet Online - Human Rights - Abuse of Religious Freedoms in Tibet
		While Chinese leaders have spoken of a "freedom to believe" policy in Tibet, the Communist Party has spoken of "too much religious activity in the area" and wants to curb the numbers entering the monasteries.
		Religious practitioners cannot be Party members, which affects access to housing and employment as well as political influence.
		In May 1994, Raidi, a senior Communist leader in Tibet, called on party members to fight harder against pro-independence forces, claiming that crafty use of religion is creating "witches and warlocks" to spur people into revolt.

	Religious Terrorism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Religious terrorists may cross the boundaries of fair play, but they are almost always convinced in their own minds of the moral superiority of their actions.
		Religious terrorists always seem to be spiritually "prepared" for violence, and they have long past the point of having second thoughts or doubts about it.
		One of the lessons regarding religious terrorism is that it almost always involves change in the form of "transmutation" or what White (2002) awkwardly calls "transmogrification." It is therefore difficult to characterize such a threat in absolute terms.

		Was it not the influence of a Christian mother on her son, the leader of the Soviet Union, and a Christian American President, working with Mikhail Gorbachev that brought an end to the cold war.
		His list is supposed to be about the most influential people, but he put Muhammad first because he was both a religious and military leader.
		My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels...

	Americans United: The Religious Right And Election 2004
		Dobson was far from the only Religious Right leader celebrating Bush’s re-election while at the same time vowing to hold his feet to the fire.
		Buoyed by exit polling data showing that “moral values” topped the list of concerns for about 22 percent of the voters, a figure higher than any other issue, Religious Right leaders proclaimed that their concerns had made it possible for Bush to prevail.
		For years, Religious Right activists have demanded an infusion of fundamentalist Christianity into public schools, restrictions on reproductive freedom, a complete rollback of gay rights, tax aid for private religious schools and other sectarian ministries and a government infused with Christian symbols and rhetoric.

	Norwood (GA10) - Weekly Column - Giving the IRS the Weekend Off/ Getting Government Out of Our Houses of Worship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Before 1954, religious leaders were afforded the full and absolute freedom in our houses of worship to act as their conscience directed them, regardless of the issue – politically based or not.
		In the letter, religious leaders were “gently reminded” of the ban and potential recourse that would be levied by the IRS if they were to break the silence.
		The sad irony, of course, was that a group whose mission is to promote the separation of church and state would go to such great lengths to remind our religious leaders that the government (our government) prohibited their free speech, and by the way – big brother is watching.

	Informed Comment
		With 3.3 million votes counted from about 10 mostly southern provinces, the United Iraqi Alliance of mainly Shiite religious parties is so far garnering an astounding 66% of the seats in parliament (That percentage will fall as the northern, Sunni Arab and Kurdish vote comes in, but it may not fall below 50 percent).
		They might be asked to join a government of national unity, but they wouldn't be given much in the way of concessions, since their votes are simply not necessary.
		But it is possible that being in the same government coalition would allow the Shiite and Kurdish leaders to reach key compromises on these issues that would be more difficult if the Kurds were not inside the government.

		For many years afterward, Americans in their local churches never gave a thought to the possibility that the government might interfere with what was said within the walls of their places of worship.
		That all changed in 1954 when then Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson found a sneaky way to silence preachers who were critical of him and his policies.
		Another victim on the AU hit list is Bishop Michael Sheridan, who told Catholics that to vote for a candidate known to hold certain unbiblical views, is to be complicit with that candidate in breaking God’s laws.

		The society's religious beliefs encompass the root teachings of world religions, relying heavily on the Theosophical tradition, scientific findings and developments, and a cosmic view of humanity which they claim to have received from the extraterrestrials who are referred to as Cosmic Masters.

		The prose is also overburdened with romantic language about heroes who laid their all at the altar of sacrifice, etc.-a device that may work well over six separate installments of a television series, but quickly becomes redundant in print.
		Some later issues of religion (the different varieties of Christian, Islamic, and otherwise religious experience continues to grow) do not necessarily have the same kind of cultural or institutional support, but nonetheless share connections with an overall historical trajectory that sees faith matters as being of vital importance for both individuals and communities.
		Repeatedly throughout history, religious leaders have used faith to promote unity, separatism, prosperity, education, nationalism, equality, humanity, etc among their followers and in attempts to sway others toward the truth.

	Interfaith "Sign On" Statement on Terrorism
		We, American religious leaders, share the broken hearts of our fellow citizens.
		The terrorists have offered us a stark view of the world they would create, where the remedy to every human grievance and injustice is a resort to the random and cowardly violence of revenge – even against the most innocent.
		Having taken thousands of our lives, attacked our national symbols, forced our political leaders to flee their chambers of governance, disrupted our work and families, and struck fear into the hearts of our children, the terrorists must feel victorious.
