United Nations forbids defaming religion, specifically Islam
Jewish World Review ^ | 1-29-09 | Nat Hentoff

Posted on 01/29/2009 10:06:12 AM PST by Nachum

On Inauguration Day, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, in a New York Times ad ("An Invitation to a New Partnership"), told "Dear President OBAMA" that Muslims "have compelling strategic and moral reasons to cooperate and peacefully co-exist with the United States in particular, and with the West in general."

Many Muslims here and elsewhere want that partnership; but some, jihadists in the name of Islam, disagree violently. In its address to our new president, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (which has permanent status at the United Nations) made no mention of its own strategic skills that resulted, on Dec. 18, in the passage by the U.N. General Assembly of a nonbinding resolution (with strong advice to its members) that condemns "defamation of religion," especially Islam.

So this means that when I defame Islam I get both a fatwa AND a UN sanction on me?

Oh joyous day it’s just like Christmas!

Bugger the sham religion of Islam and its child-raping prophet.

Islam is based on death ... preached by Wahabbi immans intent on murder ... and practiced by its zealots who kill or die trying. The intent is for the world to be Islamic, and those who do not submit can face the wrath at the hands of murderers who shout “Allah Akbar”.

Now the UN can come by and arrest me ... if they have the guts.

I guess if your religion so actively promotes its own defamation, you speak up about it a lot.

I guess “Kill all the Jews” isn’t actually an attack on a religion, just the people who practice it.

Ha. The Justice Department / FBI stopped a plot by the 1993 WTC co-conspirators (muslims) who were planning on blowing up the United Nations.

And the idiots who regularly populate the U.N. must have forgotten the attack in Iraq ...

Perhaps we should remind the United Nations that it has chastised Christian churches for committing crimes against humanity, for opposing abortion and homosexuality.

The brazen double standard here reveals the U.N. yet again, for the devious discredited organization it is. Islam also speaks out against homosexuality. It probably speaks out against abortion.

Despite this the U.N. finds it necessary to issue a statement protecting Islam (and of course other churches) from criticism.

The U.N. is a junk bond, and I wish our government would quit investing in it.

Does the prohibition apply to all religions, or only Islam? Seems to me the primary violators of the prohibition are Muslims, condemning every religious entity but their own.

The west and Israel are missing a bet here. They should run with this, but in an unexpected direction.

For example, it should be resolved that Islam especially should be protected, because “it is a weak religion, whose followers fear that their number can easily be swayed to embracing far more resilient faiths.”

It could also be submitted to a vote that Islam needs special protection “because of its many violent and bitter inner divisions, each of whom seek to undermine and persecute the others.”

Likewise, “because Islam is unable to distinguish itself as a religion apart from the primitive, violent and evil paganism that existed before it and has become intertwined with the beliefs of their followers.”

And while granted, all of these resolutions would fail, perhaps the best of them might be that “Islam be preserved, so that in competition with other religions, it does not disappear altogether, but be protected from harm as any other endangered species, so as not to become extinct and forgotten.”

Islam is the religion of Satan, and its followers are his demons. Islam is pure, disgusting, vile evil, and so is the united nations. Both of these are evidence of the existence of evil and of the evil that exists in man, and is far as I am concerned, both should be wiped from the face of this earth with extreme prejudice and as fast as possible. If you don’t like what I said UN, the get the **** out of my country!

The mind reels.

Islam is in dire need of its Martin Luther. Or possibly mandatory Thorazine for all adherents.

The UN cultural masters have determined that no religion is permitted to hold itself superior to another; but, theological egalite is only possible in an atheist world view.
Muslim and Christian religions are in absolute conflict on every level imaginable. They literally can not coexist. They are incompatible.
For the UN or any body to require that each religion consider each other religion equal in value demeans fundamental religious discipline. By this edict they have made themselves utterly irrelevent to religious people.

This doesn't apply to Islam, because Islam isn't a religion. It is a political movement/mental disorder duet. Its upper layer seeks domination over governments, and the lower layer receives complete erasure of the individual identity.

All the "Allah" garbage is just window dressing and made up silliness to make illiterates think they are practicing a religion, and dhimmis in the West to grant access and rights that no fascist political movement would receive.

Islam isn’t a religion.

In truth you are correct. Mohammed created Islam out of wholecloth as foundation for his political ambitions.
