UN Human Rights Commission bans criticism of Islam
American Thinker ^ | June 28, 2008 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/29/2008 8:06:14 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Free speech obviously does not rank very high on the list of human rights for this group. From Israel Matzav:

The UN 'Human Rights Council' decided this week that it is forbidden to criticize Islam because "religious issues can be "very complex, very sensitive and very intense...This council is not prepared to discuss religious matters in depth, consequently we should not do it." From now on, only religious scholars would be permitted to broach 'religious matters' before the Council.

A classic indication of the deep thinkers who populate the UN. Why in the name of God do we belong to and bow down to such a ludicrous collection of hypocrites, clowns and thugs?

I'm a religious scholar. I've read the Bible, the TRUE Word of God, and I'll be happy to inform the U.N. Human Rights Council that Islam is a demonic death cult founded by a deranged pedophile and was a terrorist organization then, and is a terrorist organization NOW.

End of story.

It is the nature of their cult religion of death. Killing, maiming, and destroying in the name of allah can be intense. But usually not sensitive.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

If Kerry had made it, we would already been under the rule of the UN.

If we let the obamamama in, we will quickly be under the rule of the UN.

They already have papers drawn to confiscate our guns = all but a direct copy of Hitlers.

They have requirements ready to implement that will require every birth to be registered with the UN.

They will overrule our Sovereignty and our military will be under their control.

Anyone who continues to suck their thumbs and refuse to vote for McCain, helps bring all this down on our heads.

We are not voting for a man in this election. We are voting for our very freedoms.

And any of you whose self-importance is inflated behind a false ‘my principles which are so far above the rest of you’ stance - don't bother responding. You are either in bed with the enemy or clueless.

LOL...funny stuff, but then again, it’s the UN.

I won’t be the first, but let me just say that Islam is a fraudulent religion at best and maybe the evil and demonic anti-christ at worst.

The Koran spews hate, revenge and lust...it is not holy in any way, shape or form.

Ping!
What is strangest to me besides the obvious barbarism in the Islamic culture is that in the midst of their supposed piousness they are no different in their material desires than other peoples.I know an Iranian who actually told me Islam punishes the sins of the sinner now instead of in Heaven where God’s wrath would be much greater. As if men have the vision to judge from God’s point of view. What a brain washing! You see the same thing in the scumbag president’s comments from Iran. To me they are so desperate
to find some identity associated with power that they do not see ones identity is formed in the end by how much love they have given to God in all his forms, earth, men, women included. They wish to believe that Mohammed was the last in a line of prophets which include Christ and the old testament prophets, yet the words of Christ ring hollow to them. They believe that Mohammads name was written on the ark of Noah, went on to say there was proof of this in the russian museam of natural history in Moscow(no such thing exist). They have received constant upgrades of Mohammeds lies since the lies started, after all one good lie deserves another, if its for the will of God, yet it is understood that God does not lie. The schizoid society of Islam , drenched in the euphorism of a perfect social structure supposedly given by God is itself a lie. In Heaven, I don’t need someone telling me what is good and how to live, I don’t need rewards from my goodness, I have none..Christ is my Saviour and the only rightiousness I possess. I need God’s love and to reflect that journey..
people of Islam, the truth will set you free, and Islam is not it.
Peace in Christ..

Hmmmmm ..?? I know the UN never banned criticism of Christianity .. or any Christian for that matter.

It proves to me the liberals all stick together .. they don’t allow free speech - while they’re in a country who exists by free speech. Amazing!

Bashing of Catholicism and fundamental Christians is not banned, of course. To many on the left it is actually encouraged. But Islam gets special treatment.

Better write these comments while we can. After next January, who knows.

people of Islam, the truth will set you free, and Islam is not it.

The difference between Islam and Christianity is clear. Christians will forgive. Muslims will kill.

Killing is the nature of their religion. The more you know about islam, the worse it gets.

The example of Mohamed on forgiveness Sahih Muslim, Book 17: 4206

There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, she has made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried.

The example of Jesus on forgivness (John 8:1-11)

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."

Sometimes, I get the feeling that a select group at Davos decided (maybe 2-3 decades ago) that Islam’s take over was inevitable and that the West needed to be physically and intellectually disarmed to make sure it happens without a shot being fired. Its the only way to explain what we’re seeing.

Islam is simply the worship of SATAN THE DEVIL, via A MOON ROCK, plus the worship of a FALSE PROPHET named MOHAMMED.

"The UN 'Human Rights Council' decided this week that it is forbidden to criticize Islam"

I must have missed something. Last time I checked, Islam was founded by a child molester.

As a matter of fact, Mohammed promoted a cult of revenge, MURDER, racism, destruction, RAPE, theft, deception, greed and a litany of other sins.

In fact, a cursory glance at the Koran will yield some startling anti-Jewish similarities to Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

There is nothing good about Islam, and it is an absolute perversion of everything that God stands for.
