"Deviant creeds"Reader comment on item: An International Law to Respect Religion? Submitted by Lactantius Jr (United Kingdom), Mar 27, 2008 at 09:41 Commenting on the proposed International law calling for mutual respect of religions, Khaleel al Khaleel, a council member of the Majlis ash-Shura (Consultative Council) the Saudi Government advisory body, asked "Should Muslims be committed to respect and not criticise any deviant creed that some people consider a religion?" http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200803/CUL20080321a.html To which I respond by asking, should non-Muslims be committed to respect and not criticise the deviant creed of Islam, which some people consider a religion?
