nbc Ya gotta love those despicable fucks at the UN nbc

No wonder we've seen twelve resolutions condemning Israel and NO
resolutions addressing any other issues from the UN Human Rights
Council. Seems they're just shilling for Islam. Western states, to
their credit, have picked up on this tendency and registered their
objections to the UN actions.

Cartoons anyone?


U.N. rights body condemns "defamation" of religion

The United Nations top human rights body condemned "defamation" of
religion on Friday and, in an apparent reference to the storm over the
Prophet cartoons, said press freedom had its limits.

With the support of China, Russia and Cuba, Moslem and Arab states
comfortably won a vote on the 47-state Human Rights Council to express
concern at "negative stereotyping" of religions and "attempts to
identify Islam with terrorism."

"The resolution is tabled in the expectation that it will compel the
international community to acknowledge and address the disturbing
phenomena of the defamation of religions, especially Islam," said
Pakistan, speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference.

The resolution was opposed by Western states which said it focused too
much on Islam. The job of the Council was to deal with the rights of
individuals not religions, they said.

"The European Union does not see the concept of defamation of religion
as a valid one in a human rights discourse," a spokeswoman for the
delegation of Germany, which holds the EU presidency, told the
Council.

The resolution urged countries to ensure their laws gave adequate
protection against acts of "hatred, discrimination, intimidation and
coercion resulting from defamation of religions."

While everybody had the right to freedom of expression, this should be
exercised according to limitations of the law and respect for others,
including respect for religions and beliefs, it said.

In 2006, violent protests rocked cities from Morocco to Malaysia over
Danish cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammad published in September
2005, which Muslims regarded as sacrilegious and an attack on their
beliefs.

The vote was 24 countries in favor of the resolution, 14 against and
with 9 abstentions.
