Thank you, prominent American religious leaders,
Protestant
(both mainline and evangelical),
Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Jewish and Muslim,
for your January 2006 statement,
"Torture is a Moral Issue,"
at the founding conference of the
National Religious Campaign Against Torture
held in Princeton, New Jersey:
TORTURE IS A MORAL ISSUE
1. Torture violates the
basic dignity of the human person that all religions, in their highest
ideals, hold dear
2. It degrades everyone involved - policy makers, perpetrators and
victims
3. It contradicts our nation's most cherished values
4. Any policies that permit torture and inhumane treatment are
shocking and morally intolerable
5. Nothing less is at stake in the torture abuse crisis than the soul
of our nation
6. What does it signify if torture is condemned in word but allowed in
deed?
7. Let America abolish torture now - without exceptions
Don't be silent! Urge your Congressional Representatives and U.S.
Senators to end American governmental sponsored torture in deed and
not just word.
Urge an end to the despicable practice called extraordinary rendition
where prisoners are sent to foreign countries such as Syria and Egypt
and tortured.
Special thanks to
Peter Steinfels, the BELIEFS columnist for Saturday issues
in the New
York Times,
for addressing torture, religion, and moral and
ethical silence and leadership in two recent articles:
"Topic in the Air That Politicians Didn't Touch: Torture" (Nov 11,
1996)
and "An Evangelical Stand Against Torture Was Tightly Argued,
but Drew Scant Attention" (July 21, 2007). |
