You know, since four out of the five points are taken (out of context) from the OT, you would think that this would draw the ire of the Jewish community, too. A good claim of anti-semitism may be what's needed here.
I must say this is so over the top that I wonder if it is a hoax. I'm surprised the date to be sent out is not April 1.
It DOES sound like an urban legend, but I think it's the real deal. I searched around for it on Google, and there's no reference to it being a haox. Ironically I found an urging to sign the letter in a forum at http://www.freethoughtmedia.com/. You'd think that censorship of any book would be contrary to the values of "free thought."
