The OIC argued that criticising or satirising religions is a violation of the rights of believers and leads to discrimination and violence against them. The resolution, proposed by Pakistan on behalf of the OIC, says “Defamation of religion is a serious affront to human dignity leading to a restriction on the freedom of their adherents and incitement to religious violence. Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism.”

 

Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human right violations and terrorism?  Are they kidding me?

Who buries their women in the dirt up to their chest and necks and then stones them to death?

Who hangs teenagers from construction cranes for talking back to a judge?

Honour killings?  Hello!

Who throws acid on the faces and bodies of girls and women?

Female genital mutilation anyone?

Come on, the list can go on and on.  Give me a break.

And while I’m at it, what about the rights of the non-religious?  

Perhaps the U.N. could pass a resolution guaranteeing the non-religious have the right not to be called heretics, infidels worthy of being put to death for non-Muslim belief or being told we’re going to hell all the time by the hell believers.
