Frankly, the only reference to religion I noticed in the film was an
American talking about his Bible being his protection from an RPG.  I
think the video is aimed at winning signatures, not demonstrating the
need for religious freedom in Iraq.  It may be needed, but you
wouldn't know it by that video.  I'm not commenting on the need to
sign the petition, jsut the issue of the video.
