UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance
17th Nov 2006, 01:13 GMT
David Pescovitz: According to the 2001 UK census, Jedi is the fourth largest religious belief in the country. With the "religion" growing in followers, Jedis John Wilkinson and Charlotte Law of London are calling for the United Nations Association to change the name of tomorrow's International Day of Tolerance to the UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance. They're leading a protest tomorrow in Whitehall. From the Daily Mail: ‘Like the UN, the Jedi Knights are peacekeepers and we feel we have the basic right to express our religion through wearing our robes, and to be recognised by the national and international community... ‘Tolerance is about respecting difference where ever it lies, including other galaxies. Please don't exclude us from your important work. May the Force be with you.’ Link (Thanks, Dave Gill!)
