Gandhians honor ALL religions:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2006/08/21/findrelig.DTL

When Gandhi was asked,
"What is your religion?"
he answered,
"Well, I am a Hindu, I am a Muslim, I am a Christian, I am a Sikh --
I follow the basic principles of all religions."

[ Comment by TBL:
When Gandhians speak of the 'basic principles',
they mean ethical ideals, such as the Golden Rule,
which are shared by all major religions.
Honoring all religions, Gandhians view contradictions as superficial;
and they emphasize religious aspects which promote peace. ]

What kind of cease-fire ( as of Aug. 21) in southern Lebanon?

TBL's guess: " The United Nations called for disarming Hezbollah; but this won't happen.
The Hezbollah army can simply hide its weapons, uniforms, etc., and pretend that the government
of Lebanon rules the south.
Both sides (Israel and Hezbollah) will violate the ceasefire from time to time,
but far fewer civilians will die than during the recent war.
A cease-fire isn't peace, but it's less deadly than war. "
