Adjusting religion is a religion in itself

A few years back, the British newspaper The Observer uncovered a black propaganda program initiated by the MI6. British intelligence officers were to spread Islamic messages on extremist websites and throughout the Middle East. They wee also to support moderate clerics. The propaganda – while distinctly anti-Western – was designed to make a call for non-violent jihad. British “intelligence” experts were supposed to spend their working hours posting theological considerations in the Jihad Blogosphere… I doubt if this would have been a wise investment of British tax-payers’ money. Creating ethical consensus through the guise of religions is problematic in itself. Why would one want to join the wrestle for the remote control?
