United Nations forbids defaming religion, specifically Islam
Jewish World Review ^ | 1-29-09 | Nat Hentoff

Posted on 01/29/2009 10:06:12 AM PST by Nachum

On Inauguration Day, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, in a New York Times ad ("An Invitation to a New Partnership"), told "Dear President OBAMA" that Muslims "have compelling strategic and moral reasons to cooperate and peacefully co-exist with the United States in particular, and with the West in general."

Many Muslims here and elsewhere want that partnership; but some, jihadists in the name of Islam, disagree violently. In its address to our new president, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (which has permanent status at the United Nations) made no mention of its own strategic skills that resulted, on Dec. 18, in the passage by the U.N. General Assembly of a nonbinding resolution (with strong advice to its members) that condemns "defamation of religion," especially Islam.

So this means that when I defame Islam I get both a fatwa AND a UN sanction on me?

Oh joyous day it’s just like Christmas!

Bugger the sham religion of Islam and its child-raping prophet.

Islam is based on death ... preached by Wahabbi immans intent on murder ... and practiced by its zealots who kill or die trying. The intent is for the world to be Islamic, and those who do not submit can face the wrath at the hands of murderers who shout “Allah Akbar”.

Now the UN can come by and arrest me ... if they have the guts.

I guess if your religion so actively promotes its own defamation, you speak up about it a lot.

Oh it’s a good thing the u.n. nazis can’t hear what I really think of the mohamderthals.

Calling it defamation is mild...

I guess “Kill all the Jews” isn’t actually an attack on a religion, just the people who practice it.

Perhaps we should remind the United Nations that it has chastised Christian churches for committing crimes against humanity, for opposing abortion and homosexuality.

The brazen double standard here reveals the U.N. yet again, for the devious discredited organization it is. Islam also speaks out against homosexuality. It probably speaks out against abortion.

Despite this the U.N. finds it necessary to issue a statement protecting Islam (and of course other churches) from criticism.

The U.N. is a junk bond, and I wish our government would quit investing in it.

The best thing submssision will get you is being the last throat cut. Not a good strategy.

The United Nations, a repeat of the failed League of Nations, has become a vast cesspool of corruption and a platform for the ugliest propaganda from its Muslim nation members.
