US evangelists sued for violating international law

Very interesting case:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/15/us/ugandan-gay-rights-group-sues-scott-lively-an-american-evangelist.html

Ugandan leaders have had a long standing relationshiop with US religious fundamentalists. Jeff Sharlet has written a fair amount about it. I remember reading a year or so ago about the murder of a Ugandan gay man whose murderers had apparently been spurred to action by Christian religious fervor.

You know you're on the right track when your religious beliefs spur you on to murder!

It's easy to commit atrocities when you believe in absurdities.

Was it Uganda or Kenya? Both have pretty strong connections to US fundamentalists.

That is the * PURRRRRRRFECT * bumper sticker for a 1991 long-wheelbase 040 jet black 560SEL

....especially when the above-mentioned automobile is seen parked or cruising around near the UN building in New Yawk, Wall Street, Fleet Street, Pnom Phenh, the International Court of Justice at the Hague, Syria, Teheran, Lagos, Mockba, or Mecca.

Even better if the bumper sticker has a " " on the end.
