International Islamic organization attempts to criminalize criticism of Islam at the UN
JIHAD WATCH.org ^ | November 20, 2008 | Elizabeth Kendal - author for WEA article

Posted on 11/20/2008 4:03:57 AM PST by Cindy

The draft declaration recommends that local, national and international laws and human rights covenants be reviewed and amended as necessary so that "defamation of Islam" is made a criminal offence, losing the protection it has long enjoyed under the "pretext" of "freedom of expression, counter terrorism or national security". It recommends that legal instruments be established to punish offenders -- that is, those who "defame" Islam by associating it with violence, human rights abuses or terrorism....

It would be more productive to make islam a criminal offense. It already falls neatly under existing “conspiracy” offenses.

Islam is a religion, twisted toward a political agenda by its most feverish fundamentalist of followers. Very twisted.

Come and arrest me.

It’s not a problem to me. I’d never defame that evil coagulation of spiritual putifaction known as ‘Islam’...never ever.

Ahhhhhhh, one more thing to put on my list for the next visit to N.Y. city.
Visit the Emoire State Building, Go see the Statue of Liberty, Rockafeller Center and take a sign disparaging the gutter religion and stand in front of the U.N. building.

Islam is a political/cultural system that hides it’s intentions behind a veil of religion - they use guerrilla warfare to oppose technically advanced armies and terrorize the media, politicians, an the individual citizen not to speak or learn - all the while they plot the destruction of the modern Western world.

ISLAM NEEDS TO BE OUTLAWED IN THE US AND OTHER FREE COUNTRIES!

Does anyone mean to tell us that we have not YET reached a good time to EXIT the UNO altogether? Get that deadly bunch of creeps off our soil and raze that building, or convert it to a new World Trade Center. Or maybe we should convert it to a world trade center first, and paint a big bulls-eye on it.

The politicians will ever do it. There are too many here already and politicians already want their votes, so they are willing to make deals. The American people have to do this; oppose Islam in America at all times and all places. If they want that kind of life they should go back where they came from!!!

Kind of clashes with the Fairness Doctrine, doesn’t it?

If we do this for Islam, what about the other religions?

Islam is the only “religion” which mandates violence against non believers.

Show me another religion which condones killing and violence against innocent individuals and that one should be banned too!!

I guess they’ll have to arrest me too.

Within countries ruled by Muslims I see: oppression of people, intolerance of other faiths, honor killings, torture/mutilation/killing of those who don’t follow Muslim laws, terrorist activities, violence towards neighbors... I see a blood thirsty cult.

They’ll keep trying. I think eventually they’ll get what they seek, or some ‘compromise’, if not criminalized. Such double standards. Imagine such a request by Christians or Jews? It would be laughed at. Articles of criticism of the mere request would be front page news.
