Loving people, do not tollerate aggression. International laws should be modified to reflect this idea.
One of many critical issues that humanity faces in this millenium, is the value of equality of humans. It is suggested here that international law and community, should ban those philosophis (religion or anything else) that nullify and opposes equality.
Those who love human beings cannot tolerate terror. There are many values that oppose and contradict each other, and it is vital to find ways to settle the differences by negotiation, without resorting to offensive and aggressive acts.
Those who rage war against the idea of equality, should be considered as criminals. Men and women, whites and coloured, Moslems, Jews, Christians and others, should be respected, and granted the same (equal) rights.
Those who see their "legitimate right" to impose inequality, are criminals, and should be punished by law, be it religious leaders, philosophers, or rulers of right or left.
Human love, and morality based on equality, are vital for the survival of human race, in this century that, one (atomic, chemical, biological) bomb alone, in the hands of totalitarian groups, can wipe out large cities, kill and injure millions of people, and destroy the remaining natural resources (land, water, air, oil, etc,) that are getting so scares by the moment.
Loving humans, who care about peace and security of all men, might need to re-think the limits of the most important values such as the "right of free speech", to make sure that under those wonderful values, the safety and the dignity of innocent people, are not violated, and the value of equality is not jeopardized.
International laws must be modified and prepared now, before it is too late.
