"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.
Three words: BRING IT ON!
It’s precisely this kind of garbage coming out of the UN that illustrates why this totally useless and corrupt organization’s time has passed.
Let Lucifer sort ‘em out! ; )
Support the Religion of Peace or I will kill you! No, this is not a joke. He means it.

I’m thinking that Gert Wilder would be a good choice.
That's better.
By every fiber of my being, I hate those vermin.
Be careful of what you say or the wrath of the U.S. court system may strike you down in a few hundred years and ruin your life!
That's an idiot's opinion, and a muslim at that (mohammed, SBUH).
But it's not nearly as much social unrest as actually killing people, slashing their throats, blowing them up, shooting them in their beds...
Read them and weep, sandmaggot!

Thanks for posting The Pic.
Otherwise, I’m the guy who has to keep the First Amendment alive.

I would tell him: I don’t care: because we have resolve!
He seems to be the only hope for Europe. Hopefully he will get the power and his policies will snowball across Europe.
