I think he meant "definition," not "defamation."

What do they need our help for? They're defaming themselves just fine.

They'll get to that just as soon as they finish their latest resolution condemning Israel for existing.

Western countries, including the United States and European Union (EU), voted against the text, calling it unbalanced for failing to address problems suffered by other religious groups.

I guess it wouldn't occur to them to stand up for the right to tell the truth about Islam...

Is there a difference? The two groups are virtually the same in terms of the fruit they bear.

*****"Stereotyping of any religion as propagating violence or its association with terrorism constitutes defamation of religion. It unfortunately breeds a culture of hatred, disharmony and discrimination," *****

As my dad would say, "Behind every stereotype there is some degree of truth. Otherwise, that stereotype could not have been formed in the first place."

They already decreed that zionism is racism in some UN act IIRC. My favorite member of that particular culteral diversity group was a carpenter. Hate one, hate us all.

Muslims always tell me that I "defame" Islam. And I ask them, "How can I defame islam, by reading from the koran?"

Islam breeds violence against non Muslims, this is fact, not defamation, islam tells muslims too kill non muslims, this is fact, not defamation. Truth is truth, no matter how badly it offends some one, and I personally don't give a dam* who is offended, be it the UN or the Muslim population. The Muslims will reap what they have sewn, and that will be very bitter fruit.

No Islam, know PEACE.

"Islam has been the subject of very deep campaign of defamation. All you have to do is look at the films which have come out of Hollywood the last few years,"

So these clowns would like us to believe that pointing out the TRUTH about what is written in the "holy" books of Islam is somehow defamation? No kidding!! And one wonders why it is that even muslims are not allowed to question their "faith"!! Maybe it's due to the fact that anyone with half a braincell and any sort of decency would run away from it screaming in horror - if they were to know the truth about what is written.

As for Hollywood films - which ones? Name them please! I can't seem to recall any Hollywood films which defame Islam in recent memory.
