Answer 1

please advise as to source of information as i would like to read more about this. i would only sign a petition against all torture of anybody of any faith (or no faith) by anybody (or government, or other entity.)  all bad acts foster more bad acts as people use the prior bad acts of others to justify their own evil.  Islamic extremism is nurtured by centuries of abuse by people in the name of Christianity.  Muslims should understand the behavior of these extremists will undoubtedly foster similar hostility toward them in the future. unfortunately. as the vicious cycle is repeated ad infinitum ad nauseaum.

Answer 2

I would sign it right after I signed any about Christians torturing people of other religions. No religion has the right to harm people for not practicing their beliefs. any religion that calls for harming others for not believing can and should be called evil and the god they worship should be called the same.
