.- The Organization of the Islamic Conference has sponsored a draft resolution at the United Nations that would condemn the defamation of religion and create a global anti-blasphemy law.
The draft resolution was presented by Pakistan in the name of the Islamic conference, which holds a majority of the seats on the U.N. Human Rights Council, according to the Spanish daily ABC.
The Muslim organization hopes to secure passage of the resolution by the U.N. General Assembly. However, the resolution has been met with widespread rejection, especially for its condemnation of the criticism of radical Islam by the media.
The United States and European countries have warned that a resolution of this kind constitutes an attack on freedom of expression and could lead to greater persecution of religious minorities. Experts say defamation can only be liable to legal sanction when it involves persons and not concepts or feelings.
According to the Spanish daily, many Muslim states have a legal system based on Sharia (Islamic law) and have established anti-blasphemy laws that in practice only condemn insults against the prophet Muhammad but not against other religions.
Sounds good to me.
Fine. Start with the blasphemy that is Islam. I volunteer to drive the bulldozer that takes down the abomination that they call the Dome of the Rock, and the flea market next to it that they call a mosque. It was a noble sanctuary before the Muslims showed up.
I think there will have to be an eventual war between Radical Islam and everyone else.
We see no distinction in quality between Islamic terrorism and Sharia law: only a distinction in degree. -- Terrorism By Degrees
Get the US out of the UN! While we are defunding NPR lets defund the UN as well..... The followers of the Pedophile tyrant, goat-humping, terrorist inspiration Mohammed can make their resolutions without OUR tax dollars....
...And the flea bitten camels they rode in on!
You’ve got the wrong pair dancing on the altar...it should be Satan.
