Human Rights Council vs Human Right
Free speech is deemed an unhuman non-right as UN Human Rights Council seeks to ban expression linking terrorism to … the primary practitioners of terrorism in the world.
GENEVA (AP)–Islamic countries pushed through a resolution at the U.N. Human Rights Council 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.
So, Ix-nay on the Am-Islay when you’re talking about Errorism-Tay. No more Ihad-jay. K-Oay?
UNHRC-approved news updates:
OK, I’m trying to be sensitive here.
You-know-who ups the violence.
Stuff in that place next to India.
Uh oh:

Is there some way to weaponize a cocktail of psychotropic drugs? It’s the only solution I can think of to deal with the mass psychosis being displayed. We could simply put them all out of our misery, but that might be considered insensitive, and lord knows, I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m insensitive.
