..article 36 of the Geneva Convention :- Prisoners of war who are ministers of religion, without having officiated as chaplains to their own forces, shall be at liberty, whatever their denomination, to minister freely to the members of their community. For this purpose, they shall receive the same treatment as the chaplains retained by the Detaining Power. They shall not be obliged to do any other work THIS IS PROPOSTEROUS! Do you not agree? It's encouraging religion fanaticism! in our day and age! They should all be locked up at Wantanamo (sp?) Bay and have the keys jammed down their throats |

surely you must agree with me on the draconian preposteriety of this article. And there it is, in black and sort-of-Khaki. Hidden amongst all the other articles which speak so much crap. I hate these Genevans! I LEND MY SUPPORT TO THE ABOLISHMENT OF section 36 of THE GENEVA CONVENTION under my right to free speech! FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO FIGHT BACK! |

Its great that people are screaming to have more rights taken away. Why don't we make it that no religion is tollerated, so people can be inprisoned for trying to believe in something. That will shut them up right away. Yesir. |

You cannot be serious. If you are, then may I bring your attention to the rest of the Geneva convention, which the US has completely ignored in its imprisonment of civilians in Guantanamo without trial, funding of regimes with a long history of human rights violations and war crimes, and its own aggression throughout the world. This article is allowing prisoners of war (which the guantanamo detainees are by no means) who are ministers of a religion to conduct religious services. That's not encouraging religious fanaticism, it's tolerating people's religious needs. |

Geneva isn't in America so the sStates feel they can ignore it, it's intolerable! oh...and I don't mind as long as they aren't muslim radical fundamentalists, but if they are then surely a new addition should be made to this law! |
