Three-quarters of the world’s people live in countries that either restrict the right to religion or belief or have “a high level of social hostility involving religion or belief,” the U.N. special investigator on religious rights said Tuesday.
Ahmed Shaheed told the General Assembly’s human rights committee that religious intolerance is prevalent globally — and rising around the world.
He said over 70 countries currently have anti-blasphemy laws that can be used to suppress dissenting views, in violation of international human rights standards. […]
Some forms of discrimination are direct, such as prohibiting some or all religions or beliefs, he said. But others may be indirect, like zoning laws that prevent construction of certain houses of worship or bans on refugees or immigrants, “ostensibly for national security reasons, from countries where majority populations belong to particular faith communities,” he said. …

Religious Freedom! will become the cry from the U.N. in order to battle anyone in the EU who attempts to fight the Islamic invasion.
Hmmmmm. What religion might he be promoting?
This sentence says it all, the hypocrisy is killing them at the UN:
“...the U.N. special investigator on religious rights said Tuesday. Ahmed Shaheed told the General Assembly’s human rights committee...”
The UN who daily vilifies Israel’s “abuses” of Human Rights and freedom of worship is the biggest joke there is.
Israel is the ONLY, free, Democratic, tolerant, Western, Liberal, Free Market, Capitalist, open society in the Middle East.
All faiths are FREE to practice their religion in Israel while Muslim countries are the real Racists.
Just look at this UN representative’s name... SHAHEED means martyr or a Muslim who died for the “cause” of Islam, either by suicide vest, killing a non-Muslim or killing another (different sect) Muslim.
That says it all folks. Mr. Martyr talks about religious freedom? What a Cesspool the UN is!!
Like EVERY muslim country...
For now, I want to emphasize restoring religious freedom in the United States. That is why we elected President Trump.
He’s one of those rare Amish from the Maldives ...
>>Like EVERY muslim country...<<
They don’t mean those countries. They mean countries where you aren’t allowed to wear a burka.
This turd tells half truths and outright lies.
He plays the “muslims are victims” card but it is the Islamic imperialists who are the victimizers.
THEIRS are the nations that prohibit or restrict (and penalize) non-muslim faiths.
THEIRS are the nations that impose a death penalty on those who’d convert away from the faith.
THEIRS are the nations that live under theocratic rule.
THEIRS are the nations funding the construction of Islamic colonies in the West to further spread the Islamic empire to which all obedient muslims bow to 5 times a day every day and never decry the injustices against non-muslims in Saudi Arabia.
Shall I go on?
But others may be indirect, like zoning laws that prevent construction of certain houses of worship or bans on refugees or immigrants, “ostensibly for national security reasons, from countries where majority populations belong to particular faith communities,” he said.
The one that is repeatedly killing thousands in the West with people who come from the countries he claims are being treated unfairly.
When the U.N. says ‘freedom’, it means slavery. Doublethink, or more accurately, Libthink.
