The United Nations' Commission on Human Rights on Tuesday adopted a resolution to monitor defamation of religions, particularly Islam.
The votingªon the resolution took place at the ongoing 61st session of the UNCHR in Geneva, Switzerland.
Thirty-oneªcountries voted in favour of the resolution, 16 voted against and five abstained from voting.
United States, United Kingdom and Israel voted in the negative. Russia and China voted in favour of the resolution. India was among those who abstained.
The resolution was pushed forward by Pakistan on behalf of the Organisation of Islamic Conference. It was put under Agenda Item 6 thatªdeals withªracism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and all forms of discrimination.
According to this resolution, the Special Rapporteur of the UN will "examine the situation of Muslims and Arab peoples in various parts of the world, the discrimination faced by them with regard to access to justice, political participation, respect of cultures, physical assaults and attacks against their places of worship, cultural centres, business and properties."
The Special Rapporteur will submit a report on this issue next year and give recommendations to improve the situation.
Though the resolution talks about right of all religions, it has special reference to Islam and Muslims. Therefore, some countries opposed it seeking the deletion of words Islam and Muslims. They called the resolution "biased."
However, OIC nations managed to gain majority support in the voting after month-long diplomatic negotiations with other countries. A similar resolution moved by the OIC was defeated in voting last year.
The OIC pushed this resolution alleging "discrimination against Muslims in the aftermath of the September 11 attack in America."
It said Islam was continuously targeted and defamed by many countries, individuals and the media at several fora, including the United Nations.
The resolution expresses "deep concern" regarding the "intensification of the campaign of defamation of religions, and the ethnic and religious profiling of Muslim minorities, in the aftermath of the tragic events of 11 September 2001."
The resolution urges all states to "take all possible measures to promote tolerance and respect for all religions and their value system…"
Defamation of Islam? What do they expect when the moon-worshipping clerics issue fatwas stating that it's the duty of mooslimes to kill Americans?
Kozak, I like your tag line!
This article was calling itself to be posted. I knew it would be an interesting article. I got it on this site called Rediff.com. I think it is a credible news-site. Please inform me if you find anything misplaced.
In other words:
Muslims want to be able to hijack airliners and crash them into buildings, murder authors and film producers, behead infidels and defile their bodies, bomb nightclubs, pizza parlors, and Passover celebrations WITH NO CONSEQUENCES!!
The UN Commission is heading to Dafur immediately?
It is a religious obligation for theMuslims to lie to the non-Muslims to further their agenda. It is called Taqquia or something like that. Anyone here who can elaborate on this devious practice of these moon-devils?
The funny thing is, these "situations" are mostly faced by Muslims in their own countries! HA!
LOL. This thread seems destined for the smoky back room.

The U.N. is in a state of desperation to save its irrelevant, miserable, criminal hide. They are doing this to take attention off of themselves...very Clintonesque, I would say -- the ole RED HERRING strategy.
The U.N. might want to refer to the events of 9/11 in the United States if they are concerned about defamation of Islam. I think that day pretty well took care of any credibililty of Islam as an acceptable part of the modern world...both the U.N. and Islam can pack it from my perspective -- would be nice to see them BOTH gone!!!
As stated by many true blue Americans, "I learned all I need to know about Islam on 9/11."
Lock and load!!!!!
We're going to be in trouble here! This must be a UN plot to get FreeRepublic:

I would feel better if the UN would just stay out of religous affairs.
Everyone who believes that applies equally to muslime countries stand on your head. If you think the UN means for it to apply just to the US, raise your hand.
Just when I thought my tag line would be the first case for them, you go and post arabic porn !
From the size of it it appears they have been monitoring it from the inside.
al-taqqia, I found it on Dhimmiwatch/Jihadwatch. Thanks.
Praise Alla it is my long lost wife.
Yes
I believe it is credible seems the worse people are the more they yell trying to distract scrutiny.
