They'll go for atheists and agnostics, too, if they aren't already.

A little more detail than what I posted the other day.  Posted from an email I got from the www.aclj.org people - more info found at their site.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the largest lobbying body of nations within the United Nations (U.N.) - including countries in the Middle East, Asia and even South America - is pushing an anti-Christian agenda with full force.

They're attempting to pass a sinister resolution called ''Combating Defamation of Religions.'' It sounds palatable -

However, a careful reading shows that it boldly targets men and women of faith, like you and me, who speak out - in any way - against Islam.

Please understand, this radical proposal essentially discriminates against Christians sharing the Good News. It could make the proclamation of your faith an international crime - punishable by imprisonment ... even death.

When Supreme Court Justice Scalia said in a recent dissent, ''America is at war with radical Islamists,'' he was exactly right.

We are seeing worldwide persecution of Christians as part of the radical Muslim mission to ''take the world for Islam'' - by purging Christianity from the face of the earth.

·         In Saudi Arabia, a Muslim father violently cut out his young daughter's tongue and burned her alive upon learning she had become a Christian.

·         In Africa, a leading Gospel singer was seized, stuffed into a cargo box - with a single hole for air - and left for a month to go crazy or die.  After two years, she was released, fled her captive country, and was granted political asylum in Denmark.

·         In Iran, a couple was tortured for reading the Bible.

·         Two men in Algeria were tried and convicted for possessing Christian books.

And today we face extremely dangerous threats everywhere because of the one posed by the OIC.

Make no mistake, the ACLJ is absolutely dedicated to combating this perilous resolution at the United Nations.

In fact, our European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) is officially recognized by the U.N. - which is absolutely critical right now as we work aggressively as your voice on this issue.

I am personally leading a team of ACLJ and ECLJ attorneys and staff researching, preparing reports and oral presentations - on your behalf, to protect your religious freedom.

We're calling on the U.N.'s High Commissioner of Human Rights to vehemently oppose this dangerous resolution and focus instead on improving existing international law to protect the religious beliefs of all individuals.
