Sorry it's taken me 2 months to get this posted. Although this issue has died it was not forgotten. Any suggestions, dislikes, likes, please post so the act can be fixed and hopefuly get on one of the Clerks. I'm a big boy, I can handle critizcism!
(p.s. I'm the worst speller, I ran spell check but it may have missed something)
The Repealing of the Islamic Stupidity Act
WHEREAS it has been found that parts of 24RZ41-The Condemnation of Islamic Stupidity Act are not entirely historically accurate;
WHEREAS it has been found that this was proposed after the 24RZ36 – The Stop Killing Berbers Act, which sufficed enough as a condemnation of unjust killings;
THEREFOR the Ziu hereby, while still honouring the death of the fallen Berber Lounes Matoub, repeals 24RZ41- the Islamic Stupidity Act as inaccurate and unnecessary.

Hey, V! Good to see you proposing legislation.
I, for one, think this is a good proposal. Could I ask, which parts of 34RZ41 are historically inaccurate?

More along the lines of over a million deaths being attributed to the spread of "political, expansionist" islam. If we are to base this on "the Crusades" per se, that is more "political/expansionist" Christianity. Moreover, for most of the expansion of the Islamic Empire, the idea of the "people of the book" was held in highest regard. The radical right Islam we see today is more a direct result of the Christian Crusades, and, I do not believe has caused over a million deaths.
If Islam, itself, has caused such an astronomical number of deaths, I do not see it as a result of what this ephermal is claiming. In my humble opinion, the wording is what is wrong with this act, perticular the last line. And the fact that it is more or less redundant.
Historically speaking, for a lot of the part of Islams history, it was a more open minded religion. It wasn't until the last few centuries when some radicals usurped that it became associated with the radical right we see in some of it today.
