“The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, i…[Read more]

You are right Enco.

I had a kneejerk reaction that was all wrong. Was thinking of the genocide there but that was not about religion. It was ethnic/tribal. Was thinking somebody in power finally recognized the hard caused by religion and was imposing standards to discourage terrorism.
