"Stop portraying the Prophet Mohammed as a suicide bomber or more Muslims will become suicide bombers and murder you blasphemers." That's pretty much what Algeria's Ambassador to the U.N., Idriss Jazairy, who serves as chairman of the U.N.'s Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards told the Associated Press in an interview about efforts by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to pass a U.N. treaty banning blasphemy against Islam.
The exact quote from the AP:
"If we keep hitting this glass wall and say there's nothing you can do about Islamophobia — you can do something about anti-Semitism but Islamophobia is out of bounds — you give an ideal platform for recruitment of suicide bombers,"
The blog UN Watch reported on November 12th on a letter dated October 29th sent by the OIC to the Ad Hoc Committee about the proposal. (PDF file of letter here.) The letter was submitted by Pakistani Ambassador Zamir Akram.
The letter says religious insults and ridicule "creates social unrest and is a form of psychological violence."
The letter decries several European nations: Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland for having offended Islam.
In 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published a series of cartoons by various artists depicting Mohammed, whose image in any form is prohibited under Islamic law.
The AP reports the Obama administration has been engaging in diplomatic "trench warfare" to "squash the proposal."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out strongly against the proposal last month.
The complaints in the letter and by Ambassador Jazairry that Jews are already protected is laughable--and cynical coming from the one religion with many adherents dedicated to eradicating Jews from the planet.
The OIC letter complains of "negative stereotyping" and "violence" against Muslims. The OIC needs to have a talk with Ambassador Jazairry about his threat of suicide bombers if Islam is not protected by the U.N. He certainly is promoting violence and reinforcing a negative stereotype about Islam.
The muslims and the U.N. can go pound sand. I’m sure Zero will be along shortly to bow nice and low to them on his never-ending US apology tour.
Jeez, when you thought the U.N. couldn’t sink any lower. Maybe it is time to chuck the U.N. into the trash bin of history.
Does this mean Algeria is threatening WAR on nations who do not go along with these demands?
That is not an accurate quote.
I believe that Obama IS a Muslim, and that he is more beholden to the Muslims than he is to his Communist upbringing, but we don’t need to misquote him and open ourselves to ridicule that way.
I don’t know WHY after all this time people are STILL passing around this fake quotation. There is enough to slam Obama with that’s TRUE.
Yeah?
Just the thought of westerners even breathing is a platform for suicide bombers, so go eff yourselves.
Um.....don’t you mean PORK piss?
So zero is carrying threats for the Palestinians now. He’s become their messenger boy. Good job, bitch.
I wish Israel would get it over with and drop some nukes on Tehran. That would solve two issues: zero’s failures there would be enormous and finally obvious and it would shut ahmanutjob up permanently and stop Iran’s sabre-rattling.
It won’t matter much if it raises the price of oil because it’s going to skyrocket again soon anyway and nobody much needs to go anywhere because there are no jobs to go to.
Mohammed is a child molesting murderer and may pigs pee on his head. The fake god Allah is a petulant, vengeful child who hates happiness. Maybe the heavenly pigs poop on his chair.
Is that better?
Stop making Mohammed look like a suicide bomber or more of his followers will become suicide bombers.
oooookie-dokie
Don't you call us blasphemers or we'll blaspheme against you.
It would be in their best interests if he went away.
Iran is a mortal threat to Israel. zero is no friend to Israel, but he is not a mortal threat to her. He will not drop a nuke on Israel. Iran will.
Sounds good to me. Let’s do it.
Religious bias
Of the 1,628 victims of an anti-religious hate crime:
69.2 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
8.7 percent were victims of an anti-Islamic bias.
4.3 percent were victims of an anti-Catholic bias.
4.1 percent were victims of an anti-Protestant bias.
0.5 percent were victims of an anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
9.1 percent were victims of a bias against other religions (anti-other religion).
4.1 percent were victims of a bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
(Based on Table 1.) 2007 FBI
I guess just stamping his feet and holding his breath wasn’t good enough.
Am I the only one that is sick and tired of these Islamo-terrorists threats? And don’t we have laws against hate speech and crimes in this country? Why the heck is the government whose responsibility it is to protect us simply sitting on its hands?
+1. I would suggest that it might be in the Muslims best interest to abandon colonization of the west before they experience a real "backlash" from true Americans instead of the fictitious backlash as reported by media outlets.
Enough!
muzzie ping
A year ago these guys were going bonkers over a teddy bear called Mohammed which according to them was blasphemous. I would have thought that they would reserve some of their outrage for MOHAMMED Atta and Khalid Sheikh MOHAMMED. Kind of difficult to take these guys seriously, don’t you think?
