Petitions and web political activism

Petitions are always a very meek and futile attempt to change anything in the world.
Yet, there's no harm in putting your name to one if you feel strongly enough is there?
Some people have decided to petition the world court to ban Islam. Sounds a bit far fetched and preposterous doesn't it? Just like Don Quixote attacking the windmills.
Check it out for yourselves.

We have yet to see the full power of the internet. Maybe one day we will witness the power of communication via the web to change the world. At the moment, there is an online group calling itself Anonymous which is sabotaging Scientology web sites.
Online information has managed to expose the deceit of photos that pull at the strings of our hearts with images of dead children, albeit it stage managed photos for propaganda purposes.
The atheist lobby group have organized themselves via the atheist blogroll.
And when it comes to Islam and it's links to terrorism, there is a plethora of sites on the web dedicated to exposing the beliefs of Islam to remove the veil of illusion that clouds perceptions of that ideology.
In Australia, we have the Australian Islamist Monitor campaigning for freedom of speech and the right to criticize Islam which effectively has been banned by legislation that has targeted hate crime but in fact only provides a weapon for Muslims to take to court anyone who speaks out and which Muslims consider offensive.

The power to rally diverse groups of people into action, via the internet, on issues of concern is only just beginning.
