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).

Simple litmus test.

Islamic law puts muslims above all other people. Jews and Christians have fewer rights by law and Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, etc. have the least rights of all.

Therefore the standard for blasphemy is whatever irritates our new muslim masters. And while muslims can actually depict Mohammed (in a positive light), we are not muslim and therefore even a postive depiction from us is wrong.
