    When the High Court ruled that the Sunday Times may not publish cartoons about the prophet Mohammed, it sent out a powerful message: religious people have a constitutional right to be protected from hate speech and discrimination. This right, however, does not guarantee immunity from debate and criticism. Godsdienste se skynbaar onaantasbare status is nie 'n reg nie, maar 'n tradisionele voorreg. 'n Heilige koei. Godsdiens is relevant omdat sommige godsdienstige groepe die gebruik van kondome teenstaan terwyl die wereld die grootste pandemie nog in die gesig staar. Dit is relevant omdat sangoma's en tradisionele geneeshere lakseermiddels toedien om duiwels uit te dryf, MIV met vrugte en groente bestry en onkunde aanvuur. Religion is relevant because religious groups contribute to the social security and moral fibre of society. It is relevant because the neo-conservative leaders of the only remaining superpower deem it their "God-given duty" to eradicate the "Axis of Evil". Religion is relevant because international terrorism is a reality. En godsdiens is uiters relevant vir die media omdat dit die lewens van 'n oorweldigende meerderheid Suid-Afrikaners rig. To avoid the discussing of the pro's, con's and influence of religion, would be like ignoring politics in a democracy. Vanjaar se SMF het dus ten doel om te ondersoek hoe die media die uiters sensitiewe maar belangrike onderwerp hanteer. Dit is nie 'n opsomming van die jaar se nuusgebeure op die godsdiensterrein nie. Dit is ook hoegenaamd nie objektief of gebalanseerd nie. In kort - presies hoe die Suid-Afrikaanse media se godsdiensverslaggewing lyk. SMF is die vrug van 'n paar maande se debat, herkou, stoei en selfs bakleiery onder redaksielede met uiteenlopende geloofsoortuigings. We hope that this issue will be a mirror for all the gatekeepers in the media who are confronted with religion on an everyday basis. Die redaksie het oor koeitjies en kalfies geskryf, ou koeie uit die sloot gegrawe en - natuurlik - in die proses 'n paar heilige koeie afgeslag. Bon appetit!
