Obama Considering Measure To Ban Criticism Of Islam
Obama is considering a UN resolution that criminalizes speech Muslims consider blasphemous. Filed by Jessa Crane January 24th, 2015
If the Obama Administration has its way, the 1st Amendment will be subject to review by the United Nations.
The UN is pushing member nations to adopt something they call UN resolution 16/18. This is a resolution- proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is made up of 56 Islamic states- which would criminalize "hate speech" targeting Muslims.
This wholly un-Constitutional proposal was first floated in the aftermath of 9/11 amid fears that American Muslims would be unfairly targeted for abuse. The Bush Administration rightly rejected it. As Forbes notes,
Previous versions of the Resolution, which sought to criminalize blasphemous speech and the “defamation of religion,” were regularly rejected by the American delegation and by the US State Department, which insisted that limitations on speech – even speech deemed to be racist or blasphemous – were at odds with the Constitution. But this latest version, which includes the “incitement to imminent violence” phrase – that is, which criminalizes speech which incites violence against others on the basis of religion, race, or national origin – has succeeded in winning US approval –despite the fact that it (indirectly) places limitations as well on speech considered “blasphemous.”
Lovely. 56 Islamic nations have drafted a proposal that would make blasphemous speech (as defined by Muslims) illegal, and the American President supports this notion.
Let's note the Left's hypocrisy on this, since they would never dream of trying to criminalize speech that Christians or Jews might deem blasphemous. If any other President supported such a measure, we would all assume he'd been drugged and brainwashed. With Obama, it's par for the course.

How will this edict be enforced? Will they send in a blue-helmeted swat team?
Satire?
To find who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
Intriguing. Do you have sources for those?
If Rightsiderocks cannot find anything more recent about this ban, then there is nothing to worry about here.
If, however, Obama was talking about the ban just last week...well, that would be of great concern.
Sharia’ law comes in on a misty night on little cat feet...
There is NO compromise between the clear words of the US Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and this apostasy of the monotheistic Middle East religions known as “Islam”, with its concomitant code of Sharia’ law.
The Koran is a very bad restatement of all the most severe, unrelenting and uncompromising stages of punishment by a terrible and unforgiving deity that appeared to exist (in some minds, anyway) in the Old Testament. These were known at different times as “Ba’al”, “Moloch”, or “Set”, and worship was not so much to exalt and praise these deities, as it was to placate them and avoid their vengeance.
Which is pretty much how Allah is regarded today. Vengeance is delegated to the most motivated of the followers of Allah, and they are given full authority to pursue those who are apostates of Allah.
Which include just about every non-Muslim in the world, and a good many of the Muslims whose allegiance to the EXACT words of The Prophet is in question.
Oh please do it Obama!
I need 100M in a law suit
What a bunch of BS! I wonder what the liberals think of this. My bet is they’re cool with it.
mohammed = child raping, camel humping , pig licking, lying, no good, rotten, far flushing, snake licking, dirt eating, inbreed, overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat assed, bug eyed, stiff legged, spotty lipped, worm headed, sack of monkey shiit!!!!
The camel nose under the tent that is UN resolution 16/18 is her evil spawn.
Thanks, I did not notice the age of the news. I remember this coming up a while ago then being squashed.
I can’t find anything about it on http://www2.ohchr.org/english/
"56 Islamic nations have drafted a proposal that would make blasphemous speech (as defined by Muslims) illegal, and the (Muslim) American President supports this notion."
Aw, c’mon, don’t hold back, tell us how you REALLY feel!
But dittos, anyway, even on this short list.
Odd.
What can one possibly say about a deranged, 16th century desert-dwelling, likely syphilitic, mass-murdering manman pedophile who founded a political cult of terrorists that is an insult, disparaging, or otherwise an “insult”?
Sorry the saudi king he worshipped and so much enjoyed bowing down for (um, to - prepositions get confusing, don’t they?) kicked the bucket, but I for one don’t think President Obeyme doesn’t want to open up that can of worms right now.
Yes, it is quite obvious that he suffers from genetic muslosis....a vile neurological disease which results in uncontrolled, savage behavior and brain damage.
Better say it now ! If You are a Moooslum, FK YOU!
