I say muslims are responsible for islams negative image. By refusing to address the corrupt, deviant and murderous muslims spreading like cancer across the globe they are covering up the largest criminal empire in the history of mankind. Islam doesn’t need laws to protect it, it needs a civil war. If there are “good” muslims they need to rise up or shut up. Whining for the UN to cover up the crimes of islam is passive support for the same crimes that caused the negative image and passive support is still support.
I am all for muslims improving the image of islam – so get started already. You have extremists to hunt.
By Frank Jordans, 19 Nov 09, AP GENEVA – Four years after cartoons of the prophet Muhammad set off violent protests across the Muslim world, Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery – essentially a ban on blasphemy that would put them on a collision course with free speech laws in the West.
Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Algeria and Pakistan have taken the lead in lobbying to eventually bring the proposal to a vote in the U.N. General Assembly.
If ratified in countries that enshrine freedom of expression as a fundamental right, such a treaty would require them to limit free speech if it risks seriously offending religious believers. The process, though, will take years and no showdown is imminent.
The proposal faces stiff resistance from Western countries, including the United States, which in the past has brushed aside other U.N. treaties, such as one on the protection of migrant workers.
Experts say the bid stands some chance of eventual success if Muslim countries persist. And whatever the outcome, the campaign risks reigniting tensions between Muslims and the West that President Barack Obama has pledged to heal, reviving fears of a “clash of civilizations.”
-The myth of islamophobia should never erase exposure of criminals using an ideology to justify, murder, slavery, pedophilia and child abuse. If the ideology didn’t support those things it would not need protection. Taken as individual crimes all of those crimes can be condemned but remind everyone that a seventh century madman encouraged it all and you are suddenly a hate filled islamophobe? (more…)
