You beat me to it.
Why is there not a law to prevent defamation of Christians?

If truth is a crime now, then I am a criminal- and proud of
it.
Soon there will only be ‘criminals’ and subjugated.
Which will you be?

Adding to this, Islam seeks to kill or convert ‘until religion is only for Allah’ The Koran instructs Muslims:
“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193”

And yet dumbed-down America doesn’t get it- even after 9/11

I wouldn’t put “McCarthyism” in the same league. “McCarthyism” was meant to fight communism and did a good job of it, even though it went a little far at times due to politicians. We need it again for awhile since it set communism in this country back about 60 years. Now we are facing it again.

If you don’t like Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Islam....that’s your business, not the UN’s. The UN needs to mind their own business and quit pushing the New World Order.

“This is an Orwellian text that distorts the meaning of human rights, free speech, and religious freedom, ...

That's a great description of the existing text of the UN Declaration of Human Rights (See, for example, Article 22, and many of the ones following.)

McCarthy had the right idea all along just the wrong tactics which was bullying which turned a lot of people against him. He in fact should have allowed the FBI and his own Congress to deal with it the best way they could.

I think you defined Islam perfectly.

Hasn’t this been implemented already by Canada and Little Britain?

Blue helemets do make excellent targets.

BTW ... any idea what color helemets the little zer0 brown shirts will be wearing?

How silly of me. They don't need helmets. ;)

How exactly does one defame, slander or libel the moronic, delusional, miasma of the sewer-born, hateful spewings of a drunken, murderous, child-molesting spawn of a pig as practiced by women-hating, pathological losers who as a group have accomplished nothing of positive note in a thousand years and likely won’t for at least another thousand years?

Proving once again you can't polish a turd!

PS Don't hold it all inside, tell us how you REALLY feel...

Islam is not a religion—it’s a political ideology.

Bit it’s OK to defame Christianity?????

I was thinking about that, as well. It shouldn't be.

This gives us Christians reason for hope, right?, hope that the UN will man up and criminalize defamation of Christianity.

Not! Sadly. Defamation of Christianity is the sport du jour and it's 'cool' to jump on the band wagon.

a new U.N. resolution circulated today by Islamic states that would define any questioning of Islamic dogma as a human rights violation,

Any questioning. Any. Wow, that's bold. And so it goes. Now, we know better than to hold our breath for the resolution defining the mere questioning of Christian dogma, let alone Catholic dogma (why half of the media would have to face fines or punishment...). Sigh.
