"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.
President Barack Obama says Israel's latest decision to authorize the construction of new settlements in occupied east Jerusalem does not make Israel safer, and could complicate peace efforts.
In an interview Wednesday with U.S. news station Fox News, Mr. Obama said additional settlement building could make it harder for Israel to make peace with its neighbors.
He added that he thinks such action, in his words, "embitters the Palestinians in a way that could end up being very dangerous."
Islam .......stupid mans Scientology !
I would counter their demands by having them first sign an agreement of no more harassment of Israel if you continue to say you will drive them into the sea you will be driven into the sea instead. Make them live up to the agreement for lets say 10 years and if any one of the Islamic nations break the agreement we get to bomb mecca.
Does this moron wish to have all out war against all muslims?
Which Western politician will even respond to this? They see the weakness in the politically correct West and just keep on pushing and pushing.
He can shove his koran where then sun doesn’t shine.
I hope Jazzairy eats a can of baked beans, lights a match near his rear, and blows his brains out.
Mongo. Calling Mongo!
Fight those who do not profess the true faith, till they pay the jiziya with the hand of humility. - Koran 9: 29
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be to be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and genitals cut off, or to be expelled out of the land. Such will be their humiliation in the world, and in the next world they will face an awful horror. - Koran, 5:33-34
Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate. - Koran 9:73
Sounds like a direct challenge to me. A declaration of war, even.
Outside of the 20% certified moonbat element in this country, the rest of America will gladly tell him to FOAD.
Here in Texas, we say it a little different....
No problemo. Obama will invite them over for a beer.. maybe stone a couple women to mellow them out.

Oh, they are well aware of what century it is. In fact, they’re using our very own technology against us as we speak. And of course, they’ll gleefully use nukes too.
The Zero administration will help them.
