does this mean the islam crowd will not be allowed to use cartoons of the evil "jooooze"? or Christians?

or do they just want a one way right.

Hard to have a 21st century discussion with a 8th century mentality.

[stuartcr]

They should add it in right after the anti-jihad clause.

[PeteB570]

Ahh, blasphemy against religion or just against the religion of terrorism (Islam)?

[sumocide]

Go right ahead. Islam claims Jesus was merely a prophet. That's blasphemy and therefore Islam wil be illegal.

[CarrotAndStick]

UN = Unwanted Nuisance

[SF Republican]

I am certain they would be willing to trade that for Israels right to exist.

[TeddyCon]

Can we also add an anti-gutter religion clause? Oh, pretty please Mr. 'martyr' sir!?

[diverteach]

Oh, so, the U.N. is something that should be listened to and respected when it's for a Muslim cause but when muslim countries wanna do what they wanna do I.E. WMD's it's okay for them to thumb there nose at them.

[BenLurkin]

Hasn't the U.N. been closed yet?

Somebody pull the plug on that dinosaur.

Anti blasphemy laws with these freaks will mean no one can say “Muhammad was a pedophile and a terrorist and that’s just for openers” No one will be able to tell the truth about the evil man who was in fact a terrorist and child rapist

No one will be able to utter “there is no Allah and Muhammad is a false prophet”

Does New Zealand want to give up it's freedoms?

[DBrow]

The article left out the part where it was learned that the most offensive cartoons were faked and included by Danish Imams as a (successful) propaganda ploy to inflame Muslims. That's sort of important in the context of asking the UN to ban "blasphemy".

Aside from that dezinformatzia, how in the world does the UN, a secular body, decide what's blasphemy or not? Do all world religions have an input so that nobody anywhere can blaspheme any religion?

And what about religions who feel that anyone not of their religion is a blasphemer, and what if there are two of them?

Things are getting interesting way too fast. Wish my crystal ball could reach six months ahead (pardons to those who think scrying is blasphemy).

We, too, want to live in peace, but for the short time that we, Europeans, still have before the era of Eurabia, we want to do so in our land according to our rules, not those of islam. Jyllands-Posten wondered whether this was still possible in a country with a Muslim minority. It found out that when a country has let in a Muslim minority it has let in the Muslim majority from the rest of the globe. Today Muslim radicals set the Middle East on fire, bullying their religious minorities, because we dare to “disrespect” them, our religious minority (which our political leaders have so foolishly allowed to enter our countries), by printing mild cartoons in our newspapers.

One religion's dogma is another religion's blasphemy. This could get interesting.

[Grut]

Blasphemy prosecutions conflict with free speech. The US delegation should push hard for a Right to be free from the threat of anti-blasphemy laws... but don't hold yer breath.

[Tzimisce]

...are we talking blasphemy, or just blasphemy against Islam?

[river rat]

Okay.....ONLY after all the Arab publications and broadcasts come under the SAME RESTRICTIONS for ALL RELIGIONS...

It will NEVER happen..
We should NEVER afford the bastards ANY considerations they are not willing to offer and INFORCE in return..

F'em.

Semper Fi

[Dems_R_Losers]

I believe child sacrifice (i.e. suicide bombings condoned and encouraged by parents), honor killings, beheadings, and female genital mutilation are blasphemous. Can we get those outlawed too?

[tioga]

So they want the U.N. to take our freedoms away? Figures...they can't win the WOT, they can't win in the war of ideas........so get the U.N. to cower to their demands. Sounds like their last shot at it.

[RaginRak]

Only if freedom of religeon is allowed in Moslem countries
