	Religion & Russian State - Johnson's Russia List 6-26-03
		Religious organizations themselves have compounded the problem, both by blurring ethnic and religious identity and by claiming a role for themselves as the approved representative of these groupings.
		In Russia, this theory produces a definition of religious adherence that is based on ethnic origin, with the result that the conversion of a Russian to Islam or Catholicism, or that of a Tatar to Orthodoxy or the Baptist faith, is regarded as inadmissible.
		In fall of 2002 the same religious leaders, and several senior government officials, agreed that the teaching in state schools of the "The Basics of Religious Culture" should correspond to the "titular religion" of the particular subject of the Federation.

	Major Religions Ranked by Size
		This world religions listing is derived from the statistics data in the Adherents.com database.
		This list is based primarily on the degree of doctrinal/theological similarity among all the various sub-groups which belong to these classifications, and to a lesser extent based on diversity in practice, ritual and organization.
		As is typical with a religious group made up primarily of converts, Baha'is who drift from active participation in the movement are less likely to retain nominal identification with the religion -- because it was not the religion of their parents or the majority religion of the surrounding culture.

	IRAN
		Periodically Sunni religious leaders are detained and accused of being Wahhabi spies.
		As many as sixty Sunni religious leaders, mainly from the Baluchi community, are reported to be in prison for their support of demands for parity for Sunni Islam in Iran and for an end to repression in Baluchestan.
		The recent arrests and killings of Baluchi religious leaders appears to be part of a concerted campaign to suppress Baluchi claims for parity for Sunni Islam and respect for their cultural and linguistic traditions.

	Uzbekistan
		For example, although church leaders cite high registration fees and the 100-member rule as obstacles, the most frequent problem is the lack of an approved legal address.
		It restricts religious rights that are judged to be in conflict with national security, prohibits proselytizing, bans religious subjects in schools, prohibits private teaching of religious principles, forbids the wearing of religious clothing in public by anyone other than clerics, and requires religious groups to obtain a license to publish or distribute materials.
		After a similar incident in October 1999 in Karshi, the Committee on Religious Affairs claimed that it took steps to ensure that police allow such Baptist congregations, which consider registration to be inconsistent with their religious beliefs, to meet undisturbed for worship.

	Religious Freedom: City of Boerne v. Flores, Archbishop of San Antonio, et al (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The principle of religious "free exercise" and the notion that religious liberty deserved legal protection were by no means new concepts in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was ratified.
		See S. Cobb, The Rise of Religious Liberty in America 492 (1902) (reprint 1970) (noting that Madison objected to the word "toleration" as belonging to "a system where was an established Church, and where a certain liberty of worship was granted, not of right, but of grace").
		Moreover, Jefferson believed that "`[e]very religious society has a right to determine for itself the time of these exercises, and the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets; and this right can never be safer than in their own hands, where the Constitution has deposited it.'" Ibid.

		The report to the 1997 Commission (E/CN.4/1997/16) notes that the SR visited the occupied Palestinian territories from 23 to 27 January 1997 and went to Gaza, Ramallah and Jericho.
		In response to a request from the 1996 session of the Commission, the Secretary-General provided a list of all UN reports issued between sessions of the Commission that deal with the conditions in which the citizens of the Palestinian and other occupied Arab territories are living under the Israeli occupation (E/CN.4/1997/15).
		The report refers to violations of religious freedom against all religions and religious groups other than the official or state religion in Israel and states that there is discrimination against Christians and Muslims, such as restricted access to places of worship for devout Muslims.

	The Third Coming of George Barna - Christianity Today Magazine
		Coming from one of the leaders of a genuine revolution, however, it makes this point at least: When "nothing is happening," a great deal may be happening.
		Barna thought that by impressing on church leaders the urgency of the situation, by providing them with hopeful models, and by imploring them to find God's vision for their own ministries, he could surely mobilize at least part of the church.
		In the long run, he hopes to cultivate a new generation of leaders, locating them as early as high school and challenging them to participate in strategic development of their capacities to lead for Christ.

		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.
