Islam Reps Enlists U.N. to Prevent Anti-Islamic Speech
While the Religion of Peace Tortures and Murders Christians Globally

It is not Politically Correct to point this out these days: Islamic nations and nations with a significant Islamic population persecute, torture, rape and murder Christians to an intolerable degree compared to a few enlightened writers vilifying Islam with words in nations which the population of Muslims are the minority to nearly nonexistent.

And yet an international Mohammedan organization known as the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has proposed a Resolution to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) which was duly passed in 2005 known as “Combating Defamation of Religions” (Mar. 20, 2008 Official OHCHR document).

Here is a summary of the initial promulgation of Combating Defamation of Religions from 2005:

In a resolution (A/HRC/4/L.12) on Combating defamation of religions, adopted by a vote of 24 in favour, 14 against, and nine abstentions, as orally amended, the Council expresses deep concern at attempts to identify Islam with terrorism, violence and human rights violations; notes with deep concern 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; urges States to take resolute action to prohibit the dissemination including through political institutions and organizations of racist and xenophobic ideas and material aimed at any religion or its followers that constitute incitement to racial and religious hatred, hostility or violence; also urges States to provide adequate protection against acts of hatred, discrimination, intimidation and coercion resulting from defamation of religions, to take all possible measures to promote tolerance and respect for all religions and their value systems and to complement legal systems with intellectual and moral strategies to combat religious hatred and intolerance; further urges all States to ensure that all public officials, including members of law enforcement bodies, the military, civil servants and educators, in the course of their official duties, respect different religions and beliefs and do not discriminate against persons on the grounds of their religion or belief, and that any necessary and appropriate education or training is provided; invites the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance to regularly report on all manifestations of defamation of religions and in particular on the serious implications of Islamophobia on the enjoyment of all rights; and requests the High Commissioner for Human Rights to report to the Human Rights Council on the implementation of this resolution at its sixth session.

The result of the vote was as follows:

In favour (24): Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Cameroon, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Gabon, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Tunisia.

Against (14): Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Republic of Korea, Romania, Switzerland, Ukraine and United Kingdom.

Abstentions (9): Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Nigeria, Peru, Uruguay and Zambia. (ANS News Article 4/12/07)

Note this resolution camouflaged to embrace all religions really is to protect Islam from International criticism. Also note that the members of the OHCHR are all Mohammedan nations in which other religions are not tolerated; indeed Christians that live in these ratifying nations are often the recipients of violence and any Mohammedan that converts to Christianity is subject to the death penalty.

It is now 2008 and the UN is attempting to make this a binding International Law which would in effect stifle free speech that exposes Islam as a religion of violence rather than peace.

Jay Seculow of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is stepping up to the plate (along with its European version) to battle the UN on this issue of hypocrisy perpetrated by Mohammedans on the non-Mohammedan world.

Here is an e-news alert a friend of mine forwarded to me:

Christians are under attack.

In Iran, a couple is tortured for reading the Bible. Two men are tried and convicted for possessing Christian books in Algeria.

This is serious. Right now, there is a radical proposal being pushed before the United Nations that will make expressing your faith an international crime.

Speak out for Christianity and you might face the death penalty.

Give generously right now to help the ACLJ's legal defense teams in the U. S. and Europe fight this IMMEDIATELY at the United Nations level - to protect the rights of individuals around the globe who are targeted for their faith!

In countries around the world, Christians are under attack as never before.

I could go on. There are examples of a growing global crisis - Christians targeted, facing the harshest of penalties - often death. Why? For simply sharing their faith or even reading a Bible!

And it could very well get worse.

Now, one of the largest organizations inside the United Nations has made a bold move - targeting you.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) at the U.N. is pushing a dangerous resolution - making speaking out against Islam ... including proclamation of Christianity ... an international crime.

It's an anti-Christian measure and it clearly endorses what's taking place in many Muslim countries - where those who even speak out about Islam are severely punished with imprisonment and even death.

This is a travesty! Give your immediate online donation to help the ACLJ - along with our European affiliate - answer the OIC aggressively: Anti-Christian bigotry will not be tolerated!

I firmly agree with Justice Scalia who said in his recent dissent on the Supreme Court ruling on Guantanamo Bay, ''American is at war with radical Islamists.''

We are your voice in this matter at the United Nations. And we are the only ones using the legal process to combat its very perilous resolution.

I have teams of ACLJ and ECLJ attorneys and staff working aggressively on the issue. We are calling on the U.N.'s High Commissioner of Human Rights to vehemently oppose this sinister resolution ...

And focus instead on improving existing international law to protect the religious beliefs of all individuals.

We have mounting legal work ahead of us - researching, preparing reports and oral presentations - on your behalf, to protect your religious freedom.

Please stand with us today in generosity and prayer. We need your help to launch an effective, and successful, nationwide campaign ... and to quickly defeat this dangerous violation of your right to freedom of religion and expression.

Thank you. God bless you for your dedicated membership.

This not brings up sovereignty issues but also Free Speech issues. Also this UN Resolution would in effect validate Islam’s practitioners to commit horrendous acts of criminal violence and murder while demanding that Islam received zero criticism.

Friends, THIS IS PREPOSTREOUS!
