We also have a list of religious tolerance news for this month. 
Sad to say, these are usually much shorter lists.

2001-AUG: World: Non-existent Sikh holy day: The Google search engine reports over three dozen listings for the search string "Khamapana." These are mostly multi-faith listings of seasonal days of celebration and observance. Most identify Khamapana as a Sikh "day of forgiveness."  This is apparently a hoax, initiated by someone and replicated through the Internet. Sikhs seek forgiveness continually from God. They don't store up a year's worth and wait for an annual day of forgiveness.

2001-AUG-1: Sri Lanka: Buddhist clergy call for ban to Christian conversions: According to Radio Australia, influential Buddhist clergy have adopted an 11 point plan to combat proselytizers and have called on the government to pass laws to prevent future conversions. The clergy estimate that about 23,000 conversions are happening per year. ₁₂

2001-AUG-1: Bosnia: Remains of 203 Muslims exhumed: When the Serbian Orthodox forces overran Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia in 1995-JUL, they are believed to have marched off and murdered as many as eight thousand Muslims. Srebrenica was a United nations-proclaimed safe zone at the time. The remains of 203 civilians have been found in a mass grave northwest of the town. General Radislav Krstic has been charged with the atrocity and has been tried by the UN war crimes tribunal.

2001-AUG-2: Bosnia: War-crimes tribunal gives first sentence for genocide: The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal found Bosnian Serb General Radislav Krstic, 53, guilty of genocide in the execution of seven to eight thousand Muslim men and male youth. He was given a jail sentence of 46 years. If he serves his full sentence, he will be 99 years of age when he exits prison. At the time of the genocide, he was following a earlier directive of 1995-MAR by Radovan Karadzic which called for the creation by Bosnian Orthodox Christian forces of "an unbearable situation of total insecurity with no hope of further survival or life for the inhabitants of Srebrenica and Zepa." The inhabitants were essentially all Muslims, protected by a small contingent of UN soldiers from the Netherlands in what was defined by the UN as a "safe area." War crimes investigators have unearthed more than 2,000 bodies in the area. They have located another 2,000.

2001-AUG-5: Afghanistan: 24 Christian foreign aid workers arrested: Two U.S., four German, two Australian and 16 Afghans have been detained on a charge of proselytizing. Talking to people with an aim of converting them from Islam to another religion is a capital offense in that country. Mohammed Salim Haqqani, deputy minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, showed what he asserts is evidence of proselytizing: computer disks containing Christ's life story in the local Dari language, copies of the Bible in English and Dari, and a list of times of Christian broadcasts, and a written confession by one of the German detainees. He asked: "Are these not valid and strong evidence? They gave children good food and money and then made them listen about Christianity." The Taliban government has rounded up 59 children who had contact with the aid workers. They were sent to a jail where they will stay until all traces of Christianity are removed. ₁₄
