Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to foster a domestic
environment of religious tolerance, peace and respect by
that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence;
Leonard Leo, chairman of the board of SCIRF, testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights on the International Religious Freedom Report. There is a move underway to defund SCIRF, presumably because its mission conflicts with Obamination's Islamophilia.
While I sympathize with the SCIRF and believe that it should be preserved, I take issue with Leo's position on the resolution passed by the HRC last March and currently before the 3rd Committee prior to a General Assembly vote in December. I do not contest the fact that SCIRF was instrumental in steering the resolutions in a new direction, I take issue with the assertion that the resolution has been substantially improved and its negative impact on freedom of belief & expression substantially reduced. Only the rhetoric has improved, the meaning, intent and effect are not improved.defamation | stereotyping |

God would never select an unrepentant sinner as his final prophet. | Muslims tend toward pedophilia because Muhammad is their role model. |
Regardless of which standard of conduct is adopted, stating the fact revealed by Aisha, that she was nine years old when Moe consummated their marriage, will be criminalized and condemned.

No matter how you slice it; whichever protocol they follow, truthful statements about Islam must be outlawed and condemned. Defamation || negative stereotyping is a distinction without a difference.
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Who will kill Ka'b b. Ashraf? He has maligned Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger. Muhammad b. Maslama said: Messenger of Allah, do you wish that I should kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Permit me to talk (to him in the way I deem fit). He said: Talk (as you like). So, Muhammad b. Maslama came to Ka'b and talked to him, referred to the old friendship between them and said: This man (i. e. the Holy Prophet) has made up his mind to collect charity (from us) and this has put us to a great hardship. When be heard this, Ka'b said: By God, you will be put to more trouble by him. Muhammad b. Maslama said: No doubt, now we have become his followers and we do not like to forsake him until we see what turn his affairs will take. I want that you should give me a loan. He said: What will you mortgage? He said: What do you want? He said: Pledge me your women. He said: You are the most handsome of the Arabs; should we pledge our women to you? He said: Pledge me your children. He said: The son of one of us may abuse us saying that he was pledged for two wasqs of dates, but we can pledge you (cur) weapons. He said: All right. Then Muhammad b. Maslama promised that he would come to him with Harith, Abu 'Abs b. Jabr and Abbad b. Bishr. So they came and called upon him at night. He came down to them. Sufyan says that all the narrators except 'Amr have stated that his wife said: I hear a voice which sounds like the voice of murder. He said: It is only Muhammad b. Maslama and his foster-brother, Abu Na'ila. When a gentleman is called at night even it to be pierced with a spear, he should respond to the call. Muhammad said to his companions: As he comes down, I will extend my hands towards his head and when I hold him fast, you should do your job. So when he came down and he was holding his cloak under his arm, they said to him: We sense from you a very fine smell. He said: Yes, I have with me a mistress who is the most scented of the women of Arabia. He said: Allow me to smell (the scent on your head). He said: Yes, you may smell. So he caught it and smelt. Then he said: Allow me to do so (once again). He then held his head fast and said to his companions: Do your job. And they killed him.
With one day remaining for submission of a new draft resolution on combating defamation of religions, none having appeared and two days of private OIC meetings, now comes the "Draft Resolution "Freedom of Religion and Belief" which does not identify its sponsors. This document appears to reflect the American delegation's stated rejection of the defamation concept. I suspect a clever scheme resolving to subvert our right of free expression by consensus, without a vote.
Although slightly sanitized, the draft remains obnoxious to life and liberty. It seeks to criminalize all criticism of Islam, subordinating our right of free expression to the Muslim's imaginary 'right' to shield their damnable doctrines from critical examination and exposure. It demands tolerance of the intolerable. It demands that our schools be turned into Islamic indoctrination centers. Like most U.N.H.R.C. resolutions, this draft leans heavily on references to previous documents, those I could locate are listed and linked at the end of the post.
This is a clever ruse: conflating our right to free expression with the freedom of belief. Their freedom to believe must not in any measure diminish our right to express our opinions about their belief system and practices.
The right to live, safely, free from threat and assault is a given, already stated in existing human rights covenants. The problem is in the last clause: asserting the right of free exercise of religion or belief.
Jihad is mandatory, not optional. Jihad is the "original religion" of Islam. Jihad is "holy fighting" in "Allah's cause", Islamic law defines it as "to war against non-Muslims,".
3:2. Allâh! Lâ ilahâ illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.
If only Allah has the right to be worshiped, then we have no right to worship any other deity. Let that sink in for a moment before examining a crucial part of Shari'ah.
-6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;
-7- and are forbidden to build new churches.
Under Islam, rights are a one way street; only Muslims have them.
They want our schools to indoctrinate our children to tolerate the intolerable. Note the key phrase I have highlighted. "Negative stereotypes" is an equivalent alternative to "defamation". That is an indirect reference to knowledge of the fact that terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. They want that knowledge erased.
The restatement of the free practice demand is redundant, but not the highlighted clause in the last sentence. I suspect that clause was inserted as a poison pill because it directly contradicts Islamic law, which prescribes the death penalty for apostasy.
Tolerance of Islam is not possible; the demonic mandate to terrorize & conquer is absolutely intolerable, as are rape, pillage & plunder. Freedom of expression includes the right to speak and write the truth about Islam. That right must not be diminished by any law, national or international or any U.N . resolution! The trials of Elizabeth Sabaditch-Wolff and Geert Wilders for speaking truthfully about Islam are proof of the existing abrogation of the right of free expression.
The first highlighted clause is redundant, look to the second. What is the definition of "advocacy of religious hatred"? The Secretary General let the cat out of the bag when he remarked about the short film by Geert Wilders.
“There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence,” Ban said in a statement. “The right of free expression is not at stake here.”
Fitna describes and demonstrates hate speech & incitement; it is not hate speech neither is it incitement; it is proof of the fact that the Qur'an & hadith are hate speech and incitement. In a just world, it would not be possible to prevent or punish publication of Fitna. The U.N. intends, with high sounding but excessively broad terms, to proscribe truthful expression about Islam. That egregious violation of free speech can not be accepted!
What is terrorism? There is no official definition because Muslims reserve attacks on Jews as "justified resistance"
Why restate the obvious? Governments have no other purpose; they are for protection from attack. If they do not protect their citizens, they are worthless; part of the problem, not part of the solution. Muslims in Pakistan, Indonesia & Egypt can burn churches, attack and kill Christians with impunity. Everybody knows it and nobody will do anything about it, this resolution to the contrary not withstanding. OP6 is an egregious insult.
Which freedom is missing from that section? Which constitutionally protected right does A/RES/65/199 demand be abrogated? Get a clue!
They postulate a right to build mosques, so that we can not proscribe their construction. In reality, mosques are being constructed as outposts from which to mount new attacks.
That section is a thinly veiled attack at proscription of fund raising for terrorism, an attempt to reverse the convictions in the Holy Land Foundation case.
This section is redundant but it needs to be addressed again. Islam is intolerable, it is impossible for an informed lover of liberty to tolerate it. "Incitement to hostility and violence", as defined by the Secretary General, is far too broad; unacceptably so as it would outlaw all truthful expression about Islam.
