Freedom of Expression~Democracy

META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Our duty is to expose evil, not to conceal it. If exposure of their damnable doctrines & practices pisses off Muslims, their reactions are their own doing and responsibility, not ours. Our lectures, remarks, blog posts and books are for the Western audience of free men who wish to remain alive and free, not for Allah's slaves who are Hellbound to torment us. "> A/C.3/68/L.48 Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping,stigmatization, discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against persons, based on religion or belief continues with reaffirmation of another obfuscation.

Reaffirming also the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of
opinion and expression and full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart
information can play in strengthening democracy and combating religious
intolerance, and reaffirming further that the exercise of the right to freedom of
expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities, in accordance with
article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,

expression & democracy

• positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of
  opinion and expression and full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart
  information can play in strengthening democracy

    Freedom of expression and information are essential to maintenance of democracy.  Without them, it becomes impossible to recognize, criticize and warn against impending tyranny.  Liberty can not survive without freedom of expression.

religious intolerance

• combating religious intolerance

    That clause contains an embedded false premise which must be exposed and condemned:  'Intolerance of Islam must be combated.". Every free man has a right and duty to be intolerant of existential threats to his life, liberty and form of government. There can be no tolerance for Imperialistic doctrines such as Nazism and Communism. Islam is another intolerable threat to the human race.

    In reality, Islam is not a religion: it is a deen; a way of life having religious, social, governmental and military components. Islam's military component, called Jihad, is its highest peak. The quote comes from page 1290 of Tirmidhi.

“Its head is Islam, its pillar is Salah and the apex of its hump is jihad.”

Moe said: "I have been raised for Jihad and I am not raised for tillage." He also said that Jihad is the original religion of Islam and Allah will curse Muslims for abandoning it.

Sunan Abu Dawud 23.3455

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

I heard the Apostle of Allah, (peace_be_upon_him) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

    Does that refer to Jihad an-Nafs: striving against the ego and temptation? How is that an alternative to agriculture and trade as a means of deriving income?  How does one get killed or kill others in striving against temptation?  How does one injure or enrage disbelievers in Jihad an-Nafs?

    Was objection to the Nazi invasion of Europe  an intolerance to be combated?  Was objection to the attack on Pearl harbor an intolerance to be combated?  Then neither is condemnation of the doctrines which inspired the Hindu genocide, Armenian genocide, Assyrian genocide or the attacks on Beslan, London, Madrid or New York City and Boston  intolerance to be combated.

special duties and responsibilities

    It is not possible to be and remain free without free speech.  Another critical sentence in the resolution declares that terrorism must not be associated with any religion. Is terrorism an intrinsic sacrament of Christianity or Buddhism? But it is an intinsic sacrament of Islam: 3:151, 8:12,39,57,60,65,67, 9:5,29,38, 39,111,120,123, 33:26,27, 47:4,49:15, 59:2,13, 61:10-13; Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331 & 4.52.220.  so why in Hell should we be made to keep silent about it?

    In the most damnable words of the most damnable engineers of the God damn Abomination: 

"Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your
attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion....

So, our religion is a religion of fear and terror to the enemies of God: the Jews, Christians, and pagans.
With God's wiling, we are terrorists to the bone. So, many thanks to God"

    Our duty is to expose evil, not to conceal it. If exposure of their damnable doctrines & practices pisses off Muslims, their reactions are their own doing and responsibility, not ours. Our lectures, remarks, blog posts and books are for the Western audience of free men who wish to remain alive and free, not for Allah's slaves who are Hellbound to torment us. 

    There is no duty or responsibility to avoid pissing off evildoers by exposing their evil.  Imams are always on the lookout for real or imaginary offenses with which to rouse the rabble to riot. The MoToons did not cause riots: rabble rousing rants at Jumah Salat did. Fitna did not cause riots: rabble rousing rants did.  The Innocence of Muslims did not cause riots: rabble rousing rants did. Moe never threw a bomb because he died before the invention of explosives. The MoToons, while exaggerated, were conceptually true.  Fitna is well documented. Innocence of Muslims is backed up by authentic texts of Sira.

    President Washington said it best: 

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization

Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization The Draft Resolution "Combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against, persons based on religion or belief" contains only minor changes, essentially maintaining the malignant malarkey of HRC 16/18  passed last year. 

    Now that the draft has been submitted and posted to the web, you can expect to see and hear more assertions of victory.  The self-appointed experts will tell us that the "defamation of religions' meme has been abandoned; proved by the boiler plate paragraphs carried over from last year's resolutions. 

    The draft will be discussed and probably adopted by consensus  Tuesday March 20, 2012.  There is nothing we can do to stop it. The good news is that the resolution has no enforcement mechanism, its only effect is adding false moral support to Islam's victim card narrative and its persecution of indigenous minorities. 

    The draft was submitted by Pakistan on behalf of the OIC; its initiative is Islamic. 

free expression

   Reaffirming the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and
expression and the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information
can play in strengthening democracy and combating religious intolerance,

    Am I the only one who perceives the inversion of fact and fantasy?  Freedom of opinion & expression is the central target of the resolution.  They demand that we tolerate the intolerable: perpetuation, propagation & promotion of the concept of divine mandate to conquer and subjugate the entire world through deception, aggressive wars of conquest and terrorism.  Islam asserts a divine mandate to kill us; rape & enslave our widows and orphans while seizing our real & personal property.

    The strategic objective of the resolution is the enactment & enforcement of national & international legislation criminalizing all criticism of Islam.  When I write "Muhammad was a terrorist.", which is substantiated ty Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331 & 4.52.220, I mention something impermissible and should be killed according to Islamic law.  They want that law enforced! That is the purpose of the draft resolution. 

defamation

    While the defamation meme is implicit rather than explicit in this resolution, the Draft Resolution on "Freedom of religion or belief" contains, in the seventh paragraph on its second page, an important clue to reality.  Do not overlook this clue!

Emphasizes that no religion should be equated with terrorism, as this may have
adverse consequences on the enjoyment of the right to freedom of religion or belief of all
members of the religious community concerned;

freedom to terrorize

Allah said that he would cast terror: 3:151 & 8:12.  Allah said that he cast terror: 33:26, 59:2. Moe said that he was made victorious with terror: Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331 & 4.52.220.  Muslims are commanded to obey Allah and emulate Moe.  If Islam is equated with terrorism, then it must be prohibited by law. 

    Islam is an inseverable package deal: all or nothing, specified in 2:85. Believers fight in Allah's cause, killing and being killed specified in  9:111.  Believers who take any step to injure or enrage disbelievers get extra credit for an upgrade to their seat in Allah's Celestial Bordello. 

    My right to freedom of opinion & expression; to state the fact that terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam, must be subordinated to the Muslims' right to engage in terrorism. 

intolerance

    Islam imposes the death penalty for apostasy, including reviling Allah, Moe or Islam.  The penalty is explicitly stated in Reliance of the Traveller O8.1; the list of apostatizing acts in O8.7 tells us what is impermissible to mention.  The rule is extended to dhimmis (conquered Jews & Christians) in O11.10.  Islam does not tolerate criticism of Moe & Allah.  Moe had critics murdered. 

    The OIC is demanding, through the agency of the Human Rights Council, that we be exhorted and compelled to tolerate a war cult, disguised as a religion, which perpetuates genocidal conquest. 

Expresses deep concem at the continued serious instances of derogatory stereotyping,
negative profiling and stigmatization of persons based on their religion or belief,
as well as programmes and agendas pursued by extremist organizations and
groups aimed at creating and perpetuating negative stereotypes about religious
groups, in particular when condoned by Governments;

derogatory stereotyping

    "Muslims are genocidally violent" has meaning as a derogatory stereotype precisely because Islam is genocidally violent (alleged defamation) and Muslims are adherents to Islam.  History shows us that the Hindu, Assyrian & Armenian genocides were perpetrated by Muslims, on orders of the caliph.  The defamation meme is malignantly false, ostensibly eliminated yet deeply embedded in the resolution.  That which is intrinsically infamous can not be defamed. 

programmes and agendas

    What they have in mind is the Dutch, Swiss & Austrian freedom parties and "Islamophobic" comments and campaign advertisements by American politicians. 

Expresses its concern that incidents of religious intolerance, discrimination and
related violence, as well as of negative stereotyping of individuals on the basis of
religion or belief, continue to rise around the world, and condemns, in this
context, any advocacy of religious hatred against individuals that constitutes
incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, and urges States to take
effective measures, as set forth in the present resolution, consistent with their
obligations under international human rights law, to address and combat such
incidents;

incidents

    The reference is to Fitna, the 15 minute documentary by Geert Wilders, the Motoons, International Burn the Koran Day & International Judge the Koran Day.   If it is critical of Islam and receives high profile public attention, it is an incident, according to the OIC. 

advocacy & incitement

    Words have meanings, but the standard meanings do not apply when Muslims utter them.  Spoken by Muslims and their dhimmis, words mean what Muslims want them to mean, not what we expect them to mean.  Exposing Islam's advocacy of hatred and incitement to genocidal violence is, in their double speak, advocacy & incitement.   Nothing illustrates that fact better than this Mooning. 

Reuters quotes U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about Fitna:"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."

 

Adopting measures to criminalize incitement to imminent violence based on
religion or belief;

measures to criminalize

    Anyone not suffering from cranial-rectal juxtaposition should recognize that as a demand to outlaw Fitna, the Motoons and every expression critical of Islam. 

Judicial Hypocrisy in India

DNA reports that the Bombay High Court upheld a state ban on the publication of Islam — A concept of Political World Invasion by RV Bhasin.

Freedom of expression granted by the Constitution, the bench said, should not be used to trigger “senseless destruction of lives and property and breach of public order”.

If a book describing Islamic doctrines and practices is judged to trigger violence, then what about the Qur'an, which sanctifies and mandates genocidal terrorism? The Calcutta Qur'an Petition was arbitrarily dismissed,. yet this case upholds this book banning. Which is worse, a book which perpetuates an order to engage in aggressive warfare or a book which describes its effects? It is obvious that the wrong book was banned.

Ad Hoc Cmte: Non-Paperfree expression,related intolerance,Durban,ICERD,Fitna,complementary standards

On December 5, 2008, there was issued, on the letterhead of the High Commissioner For Human Rights, by Ambassador Idriss Jazairy, President of the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards, a "Non-Paper Paper" and a cover letter explaining its purpose. [Emphasis & links added.]
[Due to the use of OCR to extract quotes from scanned document images, there will be some spelling errors and a few Anglicized words will be Americanized. ]

The purpose of this "Non paper" is to stimulate a constructive debate on the content and the framework of major areas of vulnerability which for reasons of substance and/or of procedure suffer from protection gaps. Some of these areas are related to the contemporary manifestations of racism, ~ racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.The purpose of this "Non-paper" is also to invite concrete responses and recommendations based on its content.

The Ambassador set forth the Non Paper's terms of reference.

• Paragraph 199 of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action that recommended to the Commission on Human Rights, now replaced by the Human Rights Council, to elaborate complementary intenational standards aimed at strengthening and updating international instruments against all forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
• Decision 3/IO3 of the Human Rights Council that decides, in pursuance of decision and instruction of the 2001 World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance to establish an Ad Hoc Committee of the Human Rights Council with the mandate to elaborate, as a matter of priority and necessity, complementary standards in the form of either a convention or additional protocol (s) to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racism, racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and related Intolerance that will ill the existing gaps in the Convention and also provide new normative texts aimed at combating all forms of contemporary racism, including incitement to racial and religious hatred.
• Resolution 6/21 of the Human Rights Council on the elaboration of new international complementary standards to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.

The following listed phrases are critical because they are encoded to conceal the true intentions of the committee.

• all forms of racism
• related intolerance
• incitement to racial and religious hatred

We must always bear in mind how the United Nations twist the English language!!! The following quote is from Preliminary document of the African Regional Conference Preparatory to the Durban Review Conference [Emphasis added.]

4. Emphasizes the urgent need to address the scourges of anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, and Islamophobia as contemporary forms of racism as well as racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed at African, Arab, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other communities;

Islamophobia = racism!!!

The Ambassador directed the member states to keep in mind::

all views expressed and contributions made within the framework of the follow-up mechanisms of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, including:

• The survey of the five experts on the nature and the scope of substantive gaps, with regard to issues of content in the existing international instruments to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance (A/HRC/4/W G.3/ 6) ;
• The document of the Committee on the Elimination of racial discrimination on possible measures to strengthen the implementation of the final observations by adopting new recommendations by updating its monitoring procedures (All-IRC/4/WG.3/7)
• The responses provided by the Committee ou the Elimination of racial discrimination to the questionnaire by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights pursuant to decision PC.1/ 10 of the Preparatory Committee of the Durban Review Conference (A/CON'F.2l1/PC.2/CRP.5) including the relevant points of view made by the Members ofthe Committee on behalf ofthe latter; ~
• The Report of the 5^th session of the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective implementation of the Durban Conference and Prcgrarnmc of Action (A/HCR/6/10) and all relevant recommendations and conclusions adopted by this Group since its creation, particularly those contained in document(AH.CR/AC.!/I/CRP.2);
• The discussions that took place during the first session of the Ad hoc Committee on complementary standards, held from 18 to 2l February 2008.

The Ambassador lists the following revelations from the two previous sessions.

• There is global collective agreement and commitment expressed during the 2001 World Conference against racism on the principle of claborating international complementary standards to strengthen and update the international instruments against all forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance (para 199 of the Durban Programme of Action);
• However, no consensus was reached on how the specific form of/manner of giving concrete expression to this commiuncnt in priciple;
• We must also bear in mind the ensuing debate on the links between articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on civil and political rights and the expert meeting of 2 and 3 October 2008, whereafter it was reiterated that the fundamental right of freedom of expression is compatible with the prohibition of any call for national, racial or religious hatred which constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence;
• It is thus imperative to reach the largest possible agreement, through the Ad hoc Committee on complementary standards, on concrete ways and means to implement the commitment in principle made: during the 2001 World Conference against racism.
• The approach suggested to achieve this goal is to stimulate, in a positive and inclusive spirit, concrete proposals on the fields and themes laid out in the "Non paper" for which complementary standardized provisions or other measures designed to fill protection gaps, are necessary.

Of course, the revelations repeat certain code phrases.

• all forms of racism
• related intolerance

Next, we encounter a reference to ICCPR.

• the fundamental right of freedom of expression is compatible with the prohibition of any call for national, racial or religious hatred which constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence

Muslims, liars, lawyers & U.N. bureaucrats do not use words the way normal people do. "call for national, racial or religious hatred which constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence" means any criticism of Islam, specifically the Danish Cartoons & Fitna. In this context, it is asserted that censorship of criticism of Islam does not interfere with freedom of expression.

The Non-Paper begins with a listing of its Purpose, scope and parameters:

• Implementing paragraph 199 of the Programme of Action of the World Conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in which the Conference "Rec0Recommends that the Commission on Human Rights prepare complementary international standards
• to strengthen and update international instruments against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in all their aspects", as well as the relevant Human Rights Council resolutions, in particular decision 3/103 .
• The need to enhance efforts to counter contemporary and emerging forms of manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
• The need to strengthen the monitoring procedures of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination with a view to enable it to undertake the responsibilities entrusted to it in a more effective manner.
• The need to address double or multiple discrimination a continuing source of concern, as it affects certain individuals and groups, in particular gender-related racial discrimination and double discrimination on the grounds of race and religion.
• The imperative to ensure that measures to combat terrorism respect the fundamental principles and the universally recognized standards of international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian Law.
• The urgency of addressing racial profiling and eliminating it as a pervasive form of discrimination.
• The need for uniform and consistent application of the law at the national and international levels to ensure the effectiveness of international efforts to counter racism and racial discrimination.
• The need to recognize that The prohibition of the dissemination of all ideas based upon racial superiority or hatred and the prohibition of incitement to national, racial -· or religious hatred are compatible with the freedom of opinion and expression.
• The principle of regarding provocative portrayals of objects of religious veneration as a malicious violation of the spirit of tolerance which must also be a feature of democratic society.
• The need to re-emphasize that the prohibition of publication of material with the aim of protecting the rights of others and against seriously or gratuitously offensive attacks on matters regarded as sacred by the followers of any religion is a legitimate State objective.
• The need for national and international law to provide adequate legal responses to propaganda of a racist and xenophobia nature committed through computer systems.
• The need to follow the growing trend in many States to include, in their criminal I legislation, offenses in which religious motives are an aggravating factor.

Once again, the code phrases rear their ugly heads.

• related intolerance = Islamophobia = any criticism of Islam.
• contemporary and emerging forms of manifestations of racism = Islamophobia = any criticism of Islam.
• measures to combat terrorism respect the fundamental principles and the universally recognized standards of intemational law, international human rights law and international humanitarian Law. This is a direct attack on surveillance of young Muslim males, such as the "magnificent 19" and other perpetrators of mass casualty attacks. Suspicion of Muslims = "racial profiling":.
• racial profiling
• The need to recognize that The prohibition of the dissemination of all ideas based upon racial superiority or hatred and the prohibition of incitement to national, racial -· or religious hatred are compatible with the freedom of opinion and expression. A repetition of the egregious attack upon free speech. The reference is to the Danish Cartoons and Fitna.
• provocative portrayals of objects of religious veneration as a malicious violation of the spirit of tolerance This is another reference to the Danish Cartoons.
• The need to re-emphasize that the prohibition of publication of material with the aim of protecting the rights of others and against seriously or gratuitously offensive attacks on matters regarded as sacred by the followers of any religion is a legitimate State objective. Refer to the quotes from Reliance of the Traveller in the initial post of this series.
• propaganda of a racist and xenophobia nature committed through computer systems. This is an attack upon blog posts and web sites which expose Islam's damnable doctrines.

Eight specific themes are listed, here is #3.

3- Terrorism, racial discrimination and racial profiling:

1. A definition of racial profiling, prioritizing human rights protection, could be elaborated and agreed upon.
2. States must ensure that measures to combat terrorism do not discriminate, in purpose or effect on ·grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin, as well as on religious grounds, bearing in mind in this context the intersectionality between racial and religious discrimination.
3. Profiling based on stereotypes founded on grounds of discrimination prohibited by international law, including on racial, ethnic and/or religious grounds must be prohibited by law.

Who practices terrorism? Are the majority of terror attacks perpetrated by little old ladies from Iceland? Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam, established as such by 3:151, 8:12., 8:60, 33:26, 59:2 & 59:13. When you hear hoof beats, they probably come from horses, not from unicorns. Profiling according to current trends in the identity of perpetrators is common sense. Islam is acting through the UN to disarm us.

The fifth listed theme gets down to detail.

5- Incitement to racial, national and religious hatred

1. There is a need for further clarifying and reinforcing at the international level existing obligations on the eradication of all incitement to hatred and ' discrimination in any form and to prohibit by law, propaganda for war and advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.
2. In this context, complementary standards to be developed should observe the following parameters:
• Article 4 of ICERD shall be extended to the crime of incitement to racial hatred covering offenses motivated by religious hatred against immigrant communities.
• The protection provided shall extend to all individuals and groups within the jurisdiction of the State Party.
• The prohibitions shall equally cover acts committed by any individual, group or organization, including political and media organizations as well as by national or local public authorities.
• The provisions shall apply to any act which, in purpose or effect, incites discrimination, hostility or violence.
• In order to achieve consistent and uniform application and maximize protection for actual or potential victims, any doubt as to the existence of a causal link between an act of incitement and the likelihood of a violation, or the threshold required for reaching such a determination, shall be interpreted in a consistent and coherent manner at the national and international levels so as to ensure appropriate protection of the concerned individuals or groups.
• Addressing acts constituting incitement shall apply whether such acts have aims which are internal or external to the State concerned.
• Requisite standards would explicitly not prohibit advocacy of the sovereign right to self-defence or the right of peoples to self-determination and independence in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
• Requisite complementary standards shall include the prohibition of publication of material that direct seriously offensive attacks on matters regarded by followers of any religion or belief as sacred or inherent to their dignity as human beings, with the aim of protecting them against such attacks.
3. In line with the above parameters, States' general obligations would include:
• Undertaking to promulgate, where they do not exist, a specific legislation prohibiting any propaganda for war and any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.
• Asserting, in the relevant specific legislation, that such propaganda and advocacy are contrary to public policy.
• Providing for appropriate sanction, including of a criminal nature, in case of violation.

The listed item under sub section c would appear to be straightforward. It is not. Muslims, liars, lawyers and U.N. Bureaucrats do not use the English language to communicate, they use it to deceive! In evidence whereof I cite the egregious remarks of the Secretary General on the subject of Fitna, the short documentary by Girt Wielders.

Reuters quotes U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about Fitna:

“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 does not incite violence, it documents incitement contained in the Qur'an and propagated by Imams in their Mosques

The program of the Ad Hoc Committee runs parallel to the programs of the General Assembly and Human Rights Council in their resolutions combating "defamation of religion" and that of the Durban II review conference. Those programs are documented in detail and their egregious hypocrisy exposed and documented in the following listed blog posts..

• You’ve Been Mooned!
• U.N. Bans Criticism of Islam: Pretext.
• United Nations Ban Criticism of Islam

AdHoc Cmte: Pakistani Submission

Outline for the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards Consultations

An additional mechanism, the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards was created by the Human Rights Council in 2006 to fill gaps in CERD, and to provide new normative standards aimed at combating all forms of contemporary aspects of racism.

The committee's mission is to write new international legislation to criminalize criticism of Islam. They solicited suggestions from the member nations to get the process started.

Pakistan's submission to the committee begins on page 39 and ends on page 41. Since Pakistan acts as the representative of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, there is an emphasis on protecting Islam from criticism. It refers to Human Rights Council decision 3/103, which created the committee, and to ICERD.

The submission lists several "Action Points", the following items are from that list. [Emphasis added.]

• further defining the existence of link between an act of incitement and the likelihood of a violation, or the threshold required for reaching such a determinant consistent and uniform application and maximize protection for actual or potential victims.
• development of new internationally binding normative standards in the area of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance while incorporating the following contemporary issues;
• defamation of religions, religious personalities, holy books, scriptures and symbols,
• provocative portrayals of objects of religious veneration as a malicious ` violation of the spirit of tolerance,
• prohibition of publication of material with the aim of protecting the rights of others and against seriously or gratuitously offensive attacks on matters regarded as sacred by the followers of any religion,
• racio-religious profiling,intolerance and discrimination,
• incitement to religious hatred, discrimination and violence,
• abuse of the right to freedom of expression in the context of racio-religious profiling, negative or insulting stereotyping, incitement to
  hatred and violence,
• Islamophobia, xenophobia, and ideological racism,
• new instrument should provide for;
• mandatory prohibition by law to- eliminate racio-religious profiling or profiling based on any grounds of discrimination recognized under
  international human rights law with provisions for legal action against perpetrators, as well as legal guarantees to remedy and reparation for victims,
• legal restrictions on the dissemination or distribution or production, in public or otherwise, of all ideas in any farm based upon racial and religious superiority or hatred and incitement to hatred, and violence,including by use of modern information and communication technologies,
• legal prohibition of publication of material that negatively stereotypes, insults, or uses offensive language cm matters regarded by followers of any religion or belief as sacred or inherent to their dignity as human beings, with the aim or protecting their fundamental human rights,
• legal restriction to public insults and defamation, public incitement to violence, threat against a person or a grouping of persons
  on me grounds of their race, color, language, religion, nationality, or national or ethnic origin,

The bottom line: Pakistan & the OIC join with Iran in demanding national and international legislation to criminalize criticism of Islam. Western Civilization is under attack by Islam. Effective and adequate defense requires objective identification & description of the enemy and its doctrine set. The proposals from Iran & Pakistan are designed to hamper our self defense efforts.

They imply that the Danish Cartoons, which portray Muhammad as a terrorist, which, by his own admission he was, constitutes defamation of religion. They imply that Fitna, which juxtaposes Allah's Jihad imperatives in the Qur'an with Islamic violence, constitutes defamation of religion. They demand that all such expressions be criminalized.
