RONIN defies United Nations

Frankly I find most diplomats and politicians slightly lower than pedophiles but thankfully they are not very well organized and tend to eat their young. I have an even lower opinion of the ones working at the United Nations. Even for them this is a new low. Muslims have enough reasons to be ashamed but this rubs their face in it. This resolution binding or not just screams of PC protectionism. Muslims are victims yeah we get it and the UN is going to save them, how special. They couldn’t find time to condemn Iran’s kidnapping of British soldiers but they found time for this resolution and timed it with the birthday of old mo himself, nice, real nice. Well I am not a UN citizen I am an American. I hold the right of free speech very high on my list of reasons I am proud to be an American and the UN can kiss my red, white and blue ass. I would love for Muslims to clean their own house, modernize their religion and join the 21st century but until they do I will be right here pointing out their many faults and warning others of their agenda.

GENEVA – Islamic countries pushed through a resolution at the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday urging a global prohibition on the public defamation of religion — a response largely to the furor last year over caricatures published in a Danish newspaper of the Prophet Muhammad.
The statement proposed by the Organization of Islamic Conference addressed what it called a “campaign” against Muslim minorities and the Islamic religion around the world since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.
The resolution, which was opposed by European and a number of other non-Muslim countries, “expresses deep concern at attempts to identify Islam with terrorism, violence and human rights violations.”
It makes no mention of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism or any other religion besides Islam, but urges countries “to take resolute action to prohibit the dissemination of racist and xenophobic ideas and material aimed at any religion or its followers that constitute incitement and religious hatred, hostility, or violence.”
Iran, whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel to be “wiped off the map,” belongs to the 57-member Islamic conference.
The resolution was adopted by a 24-14 vote with nine abstentions. Canada, Japan and South Korea joined European countries in opposition, primarily citing its excessive focus on Islam and incompatibility with fundamental rights such as the freedoms of speech and thought.
“The problem of religious intolerance is worldwide and not limited to certain religions,” said Brigitta Maria Siefker-Eberle of Germany,” speaking on behalf of the 27-nation European Union.
Ghana, India, Nigeria, Zambia and some of the council’s Latin American countries abstained.
There are 17 Muslim countries in the 47-nation human rights council. Their alliance with China, Cuba, Russia and most of the African members means they can almost always achieve a majority.
The council, which last year replaced the discredited U.N. Human Rights Commission, has no power beyond drawing international attention to rights issues and scrutiny of abuses in certain countries.
The move at the council was initiated last year after protests across the Islamic world drew attention to caricatures of Muhammad first printed in Danish paper Jyllands-Posten in September 2005.
One of the drawings showed Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban. Islamic law is interpreted to forbid any depiction of the prophet for fear it could lead to idolatry.
