The UN Human Rights Council & Censorship

The Islamatization of NASA is all the rave in the conservative blogosphere, no where else mind you. But let us not forget the happenings in one of our most sacred of institutions, that behemoth, the U.N.

This story should drive us all to sigh with relief that our world is so upside down that they (we) cannot rightfully detect a movement that we treat so fairly that we neglect our liberty. Not only ours, but of those in the pervaence of nature and of Natures God.

UN Adopts Media Censorship

The UN Human Rights Council, which is dominated by Muslim countries, will see to it in the future that the media extensively circulate the subject of Islam as a religion of peace. Islam can in no way be presented negatively. As if a resolution were necessary for that!

Quadradraturcirculi, drawing from Fox News, reports:

A few observers expressed concern about the possible censorship after the 56 countries from the “Organization of the Islamic Conference” (OIC), who represent an enormous voting power within the UN, successfully pushed a resolution through for the surveillance of the media’s presentation of religion.

The OIC asserts that the passed resolution will support religious tolerance in that it guarantees that religions cannot be maligned. The Organization of the Islamic Conference named the Danish Muhammad caricatures as an example in which their publication led to Muslim riots. The UN council members from the US and the European Union opposed the resolution because they are of the opinion that such a resolution would censor the press and in this way would be a muzzle on freedom of speech.

The resolution that passed on Friday opens up the possibility that the Human Rights Council may be called a named as a special investigator for religious freedoms. They will have to “work closely with the mass media to assure that the media transport an atmosphere of respect, tolerance and cultural diversity.”

Thus, the “Islam is Peace” theme will now enjoy more publicity than ever before.
