Please take a few minutes to read and act on. On May 23rd 2001 the Taleban
authorities in Afghanistan confirmed that all Hindus will be required to
wear a strip of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify
themselves. They claim that the measure is for their "protection". The world
has faced this before, in 1939 the world was required, at great cost, to rid
itself of Hitler's tyranny, it is not hard to spot his child.
Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to relive it.
The Taleban's record on respecting other religions gives great cause for
concern that their ultimate aim, upon which they are intent, is "religious
cleansing". They have already demonstrated their distain and intolerance for
other religions and traditions by the desecration and destruction of the
ancient Buddhist statues, our collective heritage, within the Afghanistan.
Whatever your religion, or even if you have none, we hope that you will
agree that this fundamentally wrong. Remember, "All it takes for evil to
triumph is for good men to do nothing".
Please do not do nothing, add your voice.
