saudi king urges UN action against religious insults

Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz on Saturday demanded a UN resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after a low-budget film produced in the US sparked deadly protests last month.

"I demand a UN resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets," he said during a meeting at his palace with religious figures and heads of hajj delegations in the Mina valley where pilgrims were performing final rituals of hajj.

"It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets."

A low-budget film produced in the US, Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging from embassies and schools to fast food chains.

Saudi Arabia had threatened to block YouTube in the kingdom if Google did not respond to a request to deny access to the video footage of the film. YouTube then extended its restrictions on the video to Saudi Arabia.

The king also called on Saturday for the "unity of the Islamic nation (and) rejecting division to face the nation's enemies" as he urged for dialogue among Muslims.

"Dialogue strengthens moderation and ends reasons of conflict and extremism," he said.

"The interconfessional dialogue centre which we had announced in Mecca does not necessarily mean reaching agreements on the matters of belief, but it aims at reaching solutions to divisions and implementing co-existance among sects," he added.

The Saudi monarch proposed in August setting up a centre for dialogue between Muslim confessions in Riyadh.

Yup, in practice scads of gods, although philosophically the faith is pantheistic meaning that “everything” is God.

Two things. One, the first sentence is bovine excrement. Two, two low yield W-88s on Mecca and Medina would end this so called "religion," in a "flash."

With death oath bound Harry Reid over the senate, and death oath bound Mitt Romney in the White House, calls for bans on and violence because of religious speech will be acted upon.

The breakaway Salt Lake sect of mormonism is hemorraging members along with the 10% of their gross incomes and dozens of weekly hours of free labor coerced from each of them. Time and again, here on FR, mormonism's defenders use the exact same kind of rhetoric as muslims when confronted with their own founders teachings.

A perfect storm against the first amendment is brewing, blamed on mideast violence, tailored in secret to protect the hidden lies of mormonism. Think it couldn't happen ? Think the 1st Amendment is untouchable ?..... Think God won't punish a sinful nation through Saudi Arabia ? You probably would have said the same thing about the 4th on September 10th 2001....And Bush was WAY more conservative than Romney.

I pray we don't go to sleep after Romney wins. Let us not confuse elation at Obama's departure with excitment for Massachusetts liberal RINO Romney's entrance.

Christians beware indeed.

I urge Muslims worldwide to grow thicker skin and grow up. You can't be taken seriously when you aren't able to absorb insults and criticism without blind rage and violence.

I urge the UN to sit down, shut up and keep their collective noses out of sovereign nations' affairs.

Screw’m all.

I wish there was a youtube video showing the world what the Saudis do when they find a Bible, a Rosary, a Crucifix or any religious article in the luggage of any traveler at one of their airports.

Again, screw’m all and screw the UN with them.

The Onion- No One Murdered Because of this Image
[Extremely offensive content alert, but that's also the point- other religions don't respond to insult with violence as Islam does.]

The world doesn't have a problem with blasphemy inciting violence, it has a problem with one specific religion responding to everything with violence.

Apparently Jesus can handle ridicule,disrespect and even outright hatred but Mohamed is just a whiny little bitch! Just what I look for in a deity.

“It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets.”

“It is our duty and that of every American to protect capitalism and spend the profits.”

I like mine better.
