Obama’s Resolution to Stifle Free Speech on Islam (2009 story)

On October 1, 2009, the Obama administration in conjunction with the Egyptian government, introduced an anti-free speech measure to the United Nation’s Human Rights Council (HRC).  It was adopted the next day without a vote. Earlier this year, when the United States sought a seat on the HRC, it was a controversial decision.  Many who found the HRC neither credible nor useful, opposed the move.  Yet, others were more optimistic that America could change the HRC from within.  Perhaps the U.S. could spur debate stemming from its opposition to China, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia on critical human rights votes.

Little evidence suggests that Americans on either side of the aisle contemplated the US entering the ring and supporting the opposition’s anti-freedom measures.  Yet now, the current administration has done worse:  it’s leading the charge. The draft resolution, misleadingly titled “Freedom of Opinion and Expression” includes two troubling components.  First, it calls on nation states to take “effective measures” to address and combat “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence”.  It expresses concern and condemnation of “negative stereotyping of religions and racial groups”.  It further attempts to construe this as an international human rights law and obligation.  Second, it recognizes the media’s “moral and social responsibilities” and the “importance” that its potential voluntary code of conduct could play in combating intolerance.

"Team America" came out in 2004. Maybe they should re-release it in Durka-Durka land.

Islam is such a pitiful pagan religion that it is a waste of bandwidth to even make this observation about it. It should be a sobering signal that the left in the west is so cozy with it. Maybe both liberalism and Islam share a few of the same goals.

Apart from fulfilled prophecy, the Bible shows that God is powerful enough to protect His own interests here on Earth.
This deity “allah” can’t protect his own interests- he has to employ legions of Rage Boys to kill and maim those who don’t accept his demands. What kind of person signs up for that duty?

I have free speech and if the followers of “allah” don’t like my opinion of their beliefs, they can kiss a pig.
