OIC Abandons UN Push for Blasphemy Laws: In A Pig's Anus!

 

Atlas Shrugs is claiming victory.  [Emphasis added.]

The
OIC has relentlessly pursued resolutions on restrictions on free speech
for decades. So their caving on this is astounding. This is a testament
to the work of vocal counter-jihadists in the West. When people began
to understand that it was not about “insulting” or “offensive” speech
but really about imposing the blasphemy laws under the sharia,
freedom-loving peoples were not having it. Not. at. all. I believe the
ummah will continue to agitate for free speech restrictions in the
streets and in smoky rooms behind closed doors of the EU and other
world bodies. And we see the media and political hacks already
self-enforcing the sharia without these proposed resolutions. But even so, this is a major
victory. Savor it.

And
let the educating begin!

Freedom House welcomes the OIC’s decision to
abandon the push for UN resolutions condemning defamation of
Islam.

Freedom
House welcomes several recent statements by representatives of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) affirming that the group will no
longer support the problematic concept of “defamation
of religions” despite growing pressure
from some Muslim countries to pursue a global ban on blasphemy or
religious insult.

Human Rights First is on the same bandwagon.

Human
Rights First today welcomed the statement by Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu,
secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC),
affirming the 57-member organization will not seek a global ban on
blasphemy or defaming religion through the United Nations.

 

Skatta!

The claim of abandonment of pursuing the defamation
meme at the UN is lower than camel dung in the desert!  The
defamation meme, international blasphemy laws and promoting them
through the United Nations have not been abandoned; they continue on a
parallel track, below the radar.

So, they won’t push for new UN. resolutions;
big deal.  They are pushing for a binding protocol to ICERD which
will inject Islamic blasphemy law into an international human rights
covenant, making it enforceable in court.  An ad hoc committee of
the Human Rights Council meets for two ten day sessions each year to
code the protocol.  Once that protocol is signed and ratified, you
can kiss the free speech clause goodbye forever.  All negative
commentary on Islam will be punishable by law.

For the benefit of those ignorant of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Elaboration of Complementary International Standards, I
have embedded a pdf file compiled from seven previous blog posts.
It is 80 pages long, with plenty of redundancy.  The most
important clauses have been highlighted to make it easier for you to
skim the documents for the important bits.

They bitched about the publication of The Prophet of Doom,
which accurately quotes Islam’s canon  to provide the context and
chronology lacking in the Qur’an.   They bitched about the
publication of Fitna, which accurately  exposes the cause
and effect relationship between the damnable doctrines enshrined in the
Qur’an & exemplified in the hadith with their consequences on the
street when kutbah at Jumah Salat rouses the rabble.  They bitched
about the Motoons which depict Moe as a terrorist.  He
said that he was  “made victorious by terror“, so he damn well was a
terrorist.  They demanded blockage of the publication of those
works and they demand the head of the creator of Innocence of Muslims, which accurately depicts Moe as a lecherous pedophile,
murderer, barbarian war lord and false prophet.   Ban
Ki-moon’s statement about Fitna, quoted in the pdf, tells us everything
we need to know about what they want to ban: everything that puts Islam
in a bad light.

Our freedom of speech is under attack, even though
the attackers appear to have withdrawn.  We need to defend our
liberty and a good offense is the best defense.  The International
Qur’an Petition has a three page pdf which documents Islam’s egregious
violation of ICERD, ICCPR & CPPCG, which require it to be
proscribed by law.  When you sign that petition, it sends emails
to Congress, including a link to that pdf document.
