UN OKs Islamic text against defamation

GENEVA - The top U.N. rights body on Thursday passed a resolution proposed by Islamic countries saying it is deeply concerned about the defamation of religions and urging governments to prohibit it.


The European Union said the text was one-sided because it primarily focused on Islam.

The U.N. Human Rights Council, which is dominated by Arab and other Muslim countries, adopted the resolution on a 21-10 vote over the opposition of Europe and Canada.

In the text the EU states "it is one sided". So I guess it is Ok for Muslims to say what ever thy want in regards to other religions but just don't say anything about them! Is it now becoming illegal to mention Islamic terrorist even though it was true? The terrorist claim to be Muslims and are sheltered by Islam. Now not all Muslims condone this type of action, however, they have steadfastly refused to stop it. So I guess the shoe is fitting.

Will it be illegal to mention the Islamic "honor killings", beheading, beating and killing Christians or other non-Muslims? Let alone punishing women that were raped because they got raped. What about wanting to whip/imprison or execute a teacher because the class of 7 year olds named a Teddy Bear after their prophet?

Any thoughts on how this might be used against people not only to suppress speech, freedom of religion or to force "proper thinking"? Can't say this is a NWO thing but sure could be used by it.

MODs if you feel this belongs in another forum please move it.

THE HAGUE (AFP) - Internet site Liveleak.com said early Saturday it had withdrawn anti-Islam film "Fitna" by far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders following threats to its staff.


"Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove 'Fitna' from our servers," the UK-based site said in an online statement.

"This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else.

Here we see Islam threating livelink staff over a film. If they are so peaceful and tolerant, why the threats? Does anyone care that their freedom of speech is being restricted? By the looks of things I guess not. No one is protesting the passing of the text so in time when they send you to a re-education center for proper thinking and speech, be happy and enjoy your stay.
