This is a call for the non-Muslim world to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws, and refrain from criticism Islam or Muhammad. The West is either going to do that or stand up and defend the freedom of speech as the foundation of any free society. But which it is going to choose at this point is by no means clear.
“OIC adopts statement calling for showing respect to Islam, its personalities and symbols,” APP, September 29, 2018 (thanks to Lookmann):
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 29 (APP)::OIC foreign ministers adopted a strongly worded statement — sponsored by Pakistan and Turkey — denouncing the increasing attacks on Islam, its revered personalities and symbols, and calling for an end to such campaigns.
The ministers met on Friday on the margins of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly being held in New York.
Speaking at the meeting, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi expressed deep concern over the misrepresentation of Islam as well as at the activities that have hurt the feelings of Muslims all over the world, especially the disrespect shown to the most revered personality of Islam.In the statement, which was approved by the ministerial meeting, serious concern was expressed on intensification of hate campaigns which were deliberately targeting Muslims and the Islamic religious symbols.
The joint statement rejected provocative acts like the holding of the competition contest to ridicule Islam aimed at inciting violence.
Ever since caricatures competition was announced, Pakistan raised the issue at the diplomatic level with the United Nations, OIC, and European Union and sensitized world leaders, according to an official statement.
Foreign Minister Qureshi wrote to the OIC Secretary-General, the UN Secretary-General, the Dutch foreign Minister and foreign ministers of Islamic countries to jointly act against Islamophobic acts.
Pakistan also requested the convening of an Emergency Session of the OIC Executive Committee to take stock of the situation arising from the acts denigrating Islam.
Prime Minster Imran Khan on assuming office expressed serious concern at his very first cabinet meeting.
The cabinet adopted a resolution condemning the campaign of ridiculing Islam.Both houses of the parliament also adopted resolutions, calling for halting such activities. Prime Minister Imran Khan had assured the Parliament that matter will be raised during the OIC Ministerial Meeting in New York.
In his bilateral meetings in New York, Foreign Minister Qureshi expressed serious concern at the alarming rise in defamatory activities which were hurting the sensibilities of the Muslims.
He affirmed that freedom of expression comes with concomitant responsibilities, and should be exercised keeping in view the ethical, moral and legal obligations.
The statement takes notes of the important resolutions adopted by the OIC, the UN Human Rights Council and the UNGA condemning attacks on Islam, combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization and discrimination, incitement to violence against persons based on religion and belief….

All the world needs now is for the False Messiah of 2 thess 2 to appear:for christians,there is more to this NWO Globalism than meets the eye.Of course most will not want to know this:The False prophet appears to be at work in Rome{pro-islam,pro-NWO,hostile to christianity!}preparing the way for the False messiah in accordance with the NT’s prophecies and his reign will be permitted so as to separate the wheat from the chaff.. see 2 thess 2
Yet,the true God has very kindly explained that evil will be wiped from the earth via the winnowing fan of His justice.If you believe the prophetic teachings of the Gospel that is{the parable of the Net
Matthew 13 v 47-50 is a concise summary of what is given in detail in the Book of Revelations}
That there would be an apparent decline in Christianity{“many people will abandon the faith at that time” Matthew 24} and a concerted,but ultimately doomed, effort to destroy Christianity is actually fully explained in the Gospel by Jesus Christ.
If one understands the times we live in, one should have the required “oil for your lamp” {Matthew 25}.Anyone can see how evil and perverse this world is:Christians are given much prophetic information in the Gospel that explains things.It is essential to read and know…

Jayell says
Islam isn’t a ‘religion’! The ‘religious’ bit, with all its high-sounding trimmings, is just a plagiarised sham facade ostensibly concocted by the (self-styled) ‘Prophet’ Mohammed to conceal his pseudo-theocratic, proto-nazi totalitarian political ideology intended to promote himself and his imperialist political ambitions. So why do we bother with the theolological arguments when we’re clearly just dealing with an enormous fraud? (I say ‘ostensibly’ because there seems to be some doubt as to whether the ‘Mohammed’ of the Qur’an actually existed, I presume, therefore, making the entire edifice of Islam as we know it a mythological fabrication generated by certain political forces amongst the tribes of the Arabian peninsula around the 6th. century? Rather like a perverted, quasi-religious pre-incarnation of a totally unprincipled ‘Robin Hood’-type mythical figure – or should that be some sort of collectively-constructed embodiment of a historical premonition of Adolf Hitler? And if so, what would be the motivation for all of that?)
Bee says
Jayell, so pleased to read your comment, which is of course 100% correct. I have been following CIRA International videos on Youtube which are discussions between an ex Muslim Saudi, now a Christian, and a Dr, Jay Smith, an historian and expert in the false foundations of Islam. Riveting and very informative FACTUAL lessons. What appals me utterly is that the world is in chaos over something so utterly false, and I cannot but help but feel sorry for Muslims who have had this rubbish rammed down their throats becoming totally brain washed through the pages of its false book. The sham of this hatefilled ideology must be exposed if the world is to stoo snowballing out of control.

Have you also seen the interview by Ezra Levant last Thursday, outside the court where Tommy Robinsons retrial was happening. Ezra was told a known jihadi was there so he went upto him and requested an interview. Some of the things the jihadi said, he is superior to all us because he is a Muslim, everyone is born a Muslim, gays should not be allowed to be teachers, he is campaigning for sharia law in the UK to overturn our hypocritical democracy, under sharia law Tommy would be sentenced to death for blasphemy. When asked if he condemned the Westminster Bridge attack last year he said he had no knowledge of it, didn’t know anything had happened. Ezra pointed out it was all over the media. The man then replied the media must have been lying, it’s propaganda. By the end of the interview a crowd had gathered and a few women asked to shake his hand (not out of respect but because they knew what his response would be), he refused because they were women and also refused to shake Ezras hand.
Lydia Church says
Only, the antichrist shows up before the false prophet. Beast 1 is the antichrist, who arises first, then beast 2 arises and promotes him, and that is the false prophet. So it is beast 1 who you refer to. Many, and I mean many get that convoluted. It is in Rev. 13. But instead of the Bible (and I’m not saying this to be insulting, just as a warning out of love and concern), most have their memories seared with false books of eschatology like the Left Behind series and other deceptive messages. The church is in the state of apostasy and it has been a long yellow brick road by new age infiltration to get the church to the place where it is ready to embrace the antichrist. There is much information available still online about this puzzle piece of the end times, such as Warren Smith’s books at Lighthouse Trails. I just found a new and good blog the other day by a fellow named Gregory Reid (youthfire ministries) and his blogs are very to the point as well. Anyway, when you first discover this, it’s just the tip of the iceberg, and it’s all connected to the NWO stuff. I’ve done the research and have other ways of knowing too.

Revelation is clear that the angle is sent down to measure the Temple and the courtyard but not the outer courtyard since it is defiled by the gentles. So I assume the Temple will be rebuilt. Second, It clearly starts the Beast will rule for 42 months. That is until Jesus Christ returns with ALL who were beheaded for refusing to renounce Jesus Christ or/and refuses to take the mark of the Beast. I would say the Pope is working had to prove he is the NWO False Prophet.
.
Add to that the Globalist look completely dedicated to start WWIII. I assume it is to wipe Israel and the entire ME off the map so THEY can come in and rebuild Jerusalem and make it the center for World Government, Finance and rebuild the “Temple for ALL people as Meacham Begin and Irgin Bergin said in 1960 and the other in 1961.
.
I suspect that THEY will make Islam the forced Religion of the Beast. What else explains that so many of G-ds Chosen People work so hard at supporting Islam and weakening Israel?
.
Is it true that THEY placed a mockup/replica of the Gate of Baal in front of congress right before the fight to nominate Kavanagh? Satan can never have enough child sacrifices! The Democrats and Islam are the Party of Satan. Throw in the Rinos and Faux Conservatives and Government Agencies and you have the Swamp!
.
So I am NOT worried about the details. I just pray nightly that I have the strength to never renounce Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and NEVER take the Mark of the Beast. Remember even Peter denied Christ three times and he walked with Jesus and saw the miracles first hand!

You and Lydia …appear to have loads of oil for your lamps:meaning,you know the prophetic truth and what is going on!
It’ll make no sense to atheists…. or muslims of course{especially given that islam,ridiculously, considers Jesus to be a muslim }
There is no need to worry about details either…but Matthew chapters 24 & 25 ,and Revelations 13 tell you all you need to know.Many so-called Christian churches and clergy won’t be telling you that as they appear to be in denial as to the reality of the fact that islam’s antiChristian religion,the left and the globalists seek to destroy Christianity.
If you read 2 Thessalonians 1 v 5-8{The Divine Checkmate that will come AFTER the rise and sudden fall of the one referred o in 2 Thessalonians 2}you might note from v 8 that those found to be in opposition to the True God are the ones doomed to destruction.
That would be the forces of antiChrist:islam,false christians,lefties etc
The survival of genuine,authentic Christianity is guaranteed by Jesus Christ:fake christianity,false priests and pastors will not be spared.Rightly so!

Now that’s a different “Angle.” It is difficult for me to comprehend how people can take as truth the contents of a book written by old men millennia ago who did not have the benefit of modern knowledge or science. They thought the world was flat. I guess there ae some people who st-ll do.There is no reason in believing in pie in the sky when you die. And I don’t recall a passage saying that G-d plays chess.

Good for you if you are an atheist.Been there, done that Luv.
But,of course you have difficullty understanding Biblical Prophecy.
It makes no sense to an atheist,the Parouisa makes no sense to a Jew and the concept of the Sixth commandment makes no sense to the devoutly muslim isis savage.
As for those of us have who have the benefit of an education in modern science[Engineering,Mathematics and Physical sciences,thanks}who have studied philosophy and theology and who can also understand such things as Biblical prophecy,
we don’t need the intellectually-challenged,juvenile, militant smart-ass atheists who tell us otherwise.That scientific-method,by the way, cannot be used to either prove or disprove something within somebody’s subjective personal experience;It is only applicable to external observable reality that can be tested via experimental analysis.scientists know this full well,but this doesn”t stop them pretending they have squared the circle with Dawkins and his god -delusion fantasy:You can just as equally say that Non-belief is a delusion:Science isn’t proving it!The belief that Science{which I am a fan of)can explain away God is itself ….a delusion.
As for you being brave enough to “take up arms”:Really?Seriously?Are you offering to be a soldier?What,are you one of the 300 Spartans?Prove it.

It’s quite obvious that this most merciful , this most benevolent, this most gracious of politico-religious tradition simply cannot ‘earn’ our absolute respect on its own merits , therefore it demands state enforced veneration , these state coerced submission to a totalitarian creed is the norm in most Islamic states where sharia’s blasphemy tenets forbids, with a vengeance, any criticism of the state ideology. You criticize the state-ideology at your peril , the wrath, indignation and punishment will be swift & administered by the authority of the state . Self-reflective critical thought , introspection of ones religious beliefs has no legacy in theocratic states .
It’s surreal that the truncheons of blasphemy, dictate conversations in the 21st century ~!?!
Will this become an other price of Islamization in western culture .
State enforced speech code, is poised to replace our fundamental rights to free speech , introducing state censorship and state persecution for speaking outside state condoned speech on behalf of a highly intolerant ideology .

… this most gracious of politico-religious tradition simply cannot ‘earn’ our absolute respect on its own merits , therefore it demands state enforced veneration…
Well said, Bill. Islam can’t garner respect on its own merits so there must be laws to forcibly corrupt the morals and human rights of everyone else. In regard to your second paragraph, it’s already happening as you know, free speech in the western world has been seriously diminished, look at dhimmified Britain for example. It’s bad in America too, with tech giants censoring conservatives like they were criminals. In Britain certain government officials deliberately put Tommy Robinson in a life threatening situation hoping he’d be killed for expressing views they didn’t like, and many other Brits have been arrested and some imprisoned for comments on-line. I know that if I lived in Britain I’d probably be in prison right now for calling muhammad and allah “bigoted and murderous c*nts,” and saying that islam is retarded and that I sh*t on the koran every chance I get. In sharia-compliant Britain that would be considered an egregious “hate” crime. Mass raping kids is swept under the rug so as to not offend the rapists or their brethren, but calling a murderous warlord a “c*nt” can land you in jail; islam can say “kill the unbelievers” as a sacred duty, but calling that same religion retarded and ignorant can get you arrested. The police and government of that fallen nation are feckless clowns, acting brave and noble regarding frank views on-line but can’t do a damn thing about the mass rape, the London crime epidemic, the no-go zones, the acid attacks, FGM, or any other crimes that really matter. And they can’t prevent the destruction of their own nation for islam because they’re spineless self-haters, so they arrest and persecute those who angrily complain about it. It isn’t hard to predict where Britain will be 10 years from now if their citizens don’t rise up and do something. America needs to look at that multicultural canary in the coal mine and learn from it. Islamic infiltration is an insidious attack that will destroy us too if we are not vigilant and prepared.
Folks, if you see islamic doctrine creeping into our schools or politics then stomp on it, and know that you have just made America a safer, less-bigoted place to be. Thanks for your help. 🙂

It is Christians who have been victimized, not muslims, we have been insulted from all around, not islam. Any criticism that islam receives, is not enough!
But like I said, the globalists will move forward with their measures that support their agenda. It matters not how many protest and refute them with reason. They don’t care. They know what they want. They know what they are doing and plan on doing. Don’t count on a mass group of citizens standing against them. Look at the holocaust. All were afraid. When the rubber meets the road, it will just be individuals like you and me left standing… to face up to the tyranny. Some of us, like me, will stand up and refuse to go along with them unto death. Others will cower in fear for their lives, their families’ lives, their jobs, their houses, their nest eggs, etc. and will go along with the agenda. Some may ‘run for the hills.’
In the end, it will just be you against them, and me against them. Nothing notable will result from it other than that. We died, knowing we did the right thing.
But it is the end times, so there is a happy ending.
But even if you don’t see that yet, you still need to do the right thing.
WE REFUSE.

So let me get this straight. Not one of the some 33, 800 homicidal attacks by muslims just since 9/11 were ever addressed as too their biens who live under the threat of Jihad in nations that allow muslims to freely reside.
I think we ought to discuss this in great detail, at length and for the sensitivities of muslims to be raised just a tad such that foreign ministers and others of the Islamic faith might develop some sense of shame at the homicidism perpetrated by Jihad, by Jihadists, by Islam, by …. muslims.
At the UN, I’d like to see Ambassador Haley address this issue with a final statement to all those foreign ministers and to all they represent…
” to all the representatives and signatories to this OIC declaration, with regard to the proposed sequestering of any and all critiquing of Islam, let me state for the record….in the final analysis,
have you no shame, at all??? Have you no shame at the homicidism against ‘others’ brought by ‘Jihad’ and Jihadists?
Have you no shame at all??
That should be our question today.

Goldberg,
You are spot on, but Christianity has nothing to do with politics and there are no soldiers for Christ in any political system and hence the Islamists hue and cry for more appeasement and more entitlements. Few Like Franklin Graham have called Islam an evil religion. It is high time more and more speak up.
Shaming them should be the first step in the eradication of political Islam.

As for those OIC foreign ministers, at the UN , who are demanding an adoption a statement for respecting Islam . To them and the other many apologists for Islam . The fitting answer is the old philosophy of “Respect should be earned and not just given away ” So why should Islam be respected ? As if Islam is good religion that values females both girls and women .
As on the subject of the cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately call “female circumcision.” This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has been exposed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For on page 178 it reveals to the reader that “One of the most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia…” So why respect Islam ?
In addition, about the topic of Islamic violence which, something, takes the form of the brutal cruel vicious and murderous action that is so inappropriately y called “honor killing.” This malicious misogyny is so heinous callous and malice- filled that it’s an affront to all that is good, decent and right. Therefore addition, the author, Brigitte Gabriel revealed had in her book which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on pages 171,172 , that “The shocking reality is that most Muslim men ,including those educated in the West ,have no objection to the degradation of women in their countries .Across the Muslim world, even in moderate Islamic countries, women’s’ rights are almost nonexistent…Women is Islam are considered unclean ,deemed inferior even to dirt.” Furthermore, as for Islamic violence against girls and women in Canada. In this just cited book it explains on page 176 that “Honor killings have also come to the West thanks to the rise of Islamic immigration. “
So the question needs to be asked again “Why respect Islam ?”

Dreadnaught says
In the UK the so called laws against ‘hate speech’ are effectively blasphemy laws.
It is said that unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam was developed in the spotlight of history. The absence of any historical evidence is overwhelmingly clear. A continual process of reworking of the claimed miraculous events and battles driven forward by Angels should be identifiable but they aren’t. Even Mecca fails to be in evidence as an Arab place of importance. The earliest mosques faced Petra in Jordan and one of the four earliest copies of the Koran kept today in the Topkapi museum in Istanbul has been clearly over-written but these facts have been kept secret giving lie to the claim that they were dictated by ‘Mohammad’ ( a very common name in these lands) which simply adds to the opportunity for wriggle room.
I recommend Tom Hollands book In the shadow of the Sword’; six years worth of scholarly research, that exposes the whole Islam sham. No wonder the OIC is going all out to instigate gagging laws of silence.
Walter Sieruk says
To Dreadnaught, you are right on the mark, 100%, right when you keyboarded “In the UK the so called laws against ‘hate speech’ are effectively blasphemy laws.” Furthermore, it might also be needed to be added that the only real reason that Muslim nations, as Pakistan, have “blasphemy laws” enacted is because Islam, with its many falsehoods, is such a weak and fragile religion that it can stand up to or hold up to criticism, at all. No matter how very mild those criticisms might be.
Carol the 1st says

Every thing seems FAKE in ISLAM. Their Allah ,their prophet and their Quran which is a FAKE BOOK
Walter Soeruk says
Those OIC foreign minister who at the UN are calling for a written statement to be adopted demanding respect for Islam . So they feel that Islam should be respected If they have a valid reason the Islam should be respected then they should present to it to the UN
The outcome or results of Islam as ,many times been violent and murderous Islamic terror attacks .To only only two examples out of many was those jihad/ISIS terrors attacks in the city of Paris France which occurred just over two years ago on Bastille Day . The other was the murderous bombing in Manchester England. In both of those Islamic terror attacks over 200 people were murdered.
What is called “Radical Islamic Terrorism” , is very much based on religion. The religion of Islam For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.
Therefore there no good or valid reason why Islam should be respected.
Ray Jarman says
Walter, I totally agree but I would like to add by saying that there is one concept not recognized by the proposal which is reciprocity. These murdering sub-humans demand that Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists and people of all other persuasions respect them while they rant the most vile tirades against any one not of them. They should be taught that one is not given respect, it must be earned and they certainly have not earned any at all.

Hmmmm…. Well I say this is a perfect time to speak of OUR hurt feelings, don’t you agree JW fans?
I’m still hurt over 9/11 and the myriad of other jihadist attacks against us non-muslims in recent years for that religion. I’m sickened by the beheading videos while muslims scream to their god. I’m distraught over the next terror attack we all know is coming for allah. I’m angered over the homosexuals getting thrown from buildings for muslim bigotry and intolerance. I’m aghast at the epidemic of acid attacks for reasons that only make sense to muslims. I’m appalled at the sexual mutilation of little muslim girls despite the humiliation and risk of death. I’m enraged by the mass rape of our kids and women by piggy muslim men who blame their victims for being said pigs. I’m fearful of the enclaves muslims are building in our lands, for they are too dangerous even for our police. I’m am disgusted by the unbelievably stupid and violent doctrines muslims consider a “holy” guide to be followed. And I am outraged that so many of our own leaders in politics and media are acting traitorous against their own nations for islam.
That’s just a short list of my “hurts.” So you see, you stupid OIC c*nts, we got some valid complaints of our own. We’ve heard enough of yours, let the dead and suffering for islam speak theirs. Thanks in advance.
Oh wait, one more thing. I wanna show my proper respect for muhammad and allah. They were–are–and always will be–in my mind, among the most despicable characters in history. Both were psychopathic killers, bigots, and morally retarded. Basically they’re a couple foul c*nts that we should mock every chance we get, and I really mean this. I poop on them both, I spit on the koran, I urinate alllllll over that phony religion that mocks the true loving god and inspires untold suffering and death for humanity. There, hope I didn’t hurt anyones feelings. Have a nice day.

Maybe someone should mention, that respect is a two way street, if Muslims have no respect for other religions, then they will never get respect from anyone else! If for example, a Muslim under Sharia Law, has the right to kill non-believers (Jews/Christians), because they or their religion gives them the right to kill people, because they are not the same religion, then how can they expect to live in peace, with the rest of the world? If the governments of the world are too stupid to see this threat at our doors then, don’t criticize the non-believer that is trying to protect his family, way of life and religion! Otherwise WHAT are we waiting for, lets just NUKE the shit out of the world and watch who is left standing, I guarantee it won’t be the people living in tents or riding camels! WTF?

“defamatory activities… hurting the sensibilities (of the Muslims)… keeping in view the ethical, moral and legal obligations… attacks on (Islam), combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatisation and discrimination, incitement to violence against persons based on religion and belief…”
Either the OIC has never heard of the Qur’an, Muhammad, Shari’a, Muslims, jihad, has never been to a madrassa and never heard a khutbah, or it exists in a parallel universe. Actually, the OIC is a parallel universe. They actually do *not* see the bizarre irony in their words. None of their litany of complaints applies to them (and I am not being facetious). There is NO common ground between the Muslim universe and the non-Muslim one. All of the words and concepts quoted above are Western words and concepts. None of them are Islamic. They mean absolutely nothing to the IOC. Those are buttons to be pressed that achieve the desired effects: Western policy and opinion-makers falling over themselves to oblige.
“Hurting the sensibilities of the Muslims.” We think that maybe we should modify this, that or the other perfectly normal behaviour so we wouldn’t hurt Muslim sensibilities and then perhaps they’d integrate better, etc. If you are non-Muslim, then I’ve got news for you. Everything about you hurts Muslim sensibilities. Your very existence hurts Muslim sensibilities. You will NEVER stop hurting Muslim sensibilities while you remain non-Muslim, no matter what you do or don’t do, or what you say or don’t say.
So if you want to go down the road of guarding Muslim sensibilities, just know that every single step you take down that road is going to make it more difficult for you to say ‘enough’, for they will fight fiercely to defend every gain they make. And by ‘fight’, I mean in the Qur’anic sense: kill. Once you give in to the OIC bullies, the Muslim Brotherhood, the parents of Muslim schoolchildren, the street-worshippers, “scholars”, once you concede face-concealing headgear, special facilities and public amenities, separate laws, etc., it is not long before they demand you stop doing what has nothing to do with the list of complaints above: a non-halal butchers on the same street as a mosque? Close it down. A pig farm visible from the approach road to a town with some Muslim inhabitants? The farms got to go. Treatment by non-Muslim doctors? No, no, no. Stand trial before non-Muslim judges? Deeply offensive! Non-Muslim managers over Muslims? That will not do. It will not stop until you are Muslim. Your best chance to resist this creeping and accelerating tyranny is already behind you.
To Western people it might a be question of whether Islam is compatible with freedom, democracy and Human Rights. That question never crosses a Muslim’s mind. To Muslims it a question of whether freedom, democracy and Human Rights are compatible with Islam. The Foreign Minister of an Islamic republic presumes to lecture Western democracies on the finer points of freedom of expression. Christ almighty! Does anyone actually take this man seriously? Please don’t answer that.
The OIC might be the eloquent mouthpiece of a barbaric, pre-mediaeval culture, but it knows a cow that’s ready for the milking when it sees one, and multicultural political correctness is a cow oozing to be milked. Can you blame them? Can you blame them when they’ve been at it for 1400 years? Can you blame them when they currently have full control of the commanding heights of Western ideology: the media, the universities, the legislatures and policy organs, etc. Even the very religions they so utterly despise and have only one plan for, cosy up to them. Can you blame them when Western governments cower from blaming Muslims for the most grotesque outrages they commit on Western streets? Can you blame them when Western police forces act against their own non-Muslim citizens for exercising their rights as citizens? Can you blame them? Of course not. They’re on a roll.

KWJ says
Well said. You’be got their mentality down right. The mendacious OIC shows how warped Islam is and this is nothing but more jihad on their part. They don’t care about other people’s feelings. The despicable creatures who have allowed them en masse in countries are as evil for aiding and abetting their hypocrisy and substandard “way of life” or “whole system” aka Islam.
Muslims constantly are offending non-Muslims’ sensibilities. Their unholy books do. Their preachers do. Their constant lying, half truths and twisted logic do as if we’re all so stupid to fall for it. When you have a bloc of OIC ministers from countries full of ethnic, sectarian and anti-Muslim violence problems while lying about Islam, it is clear that Islam offers little to the world. It still operates on fear and a bunch of rituals and a false sense of superiority of the ummah. It’s all a sham.
Unlike Hillary Clinton and Obama, we need Nicky Haley or the president to emphatically reject their attempts at universal blasphemy laws and stand up for free speech.
It appears there are Americans against free speech and/or offending Muslims. I don’t know if they really understand the consequences and why you can’t be too nice to people who do not reciprocate that which they speak of. Many non-Muslims have already been victims of Muslim supremacy. When stop doing some Halloween fun at school because Muslim parents complain, you aren’t being inclusive, you’re a victim. When you don’t serve alcohol at an event because of Muslims religious sensitivities, you are a victim. When they wanted to build a mosque near the World Trade Center site, that was an in-your-face insult with no care for how it would make others feel, but they knew, and humiliation is the name of their game. (And Obama was for it.) They just keep humiliating non-Muslims who are unaware of the mentality they’re feeding and how they’re being made fools of.
All the Muslim organizations that push this have this mentality and it’s hijra, da’wa, jihad and domination that are their goals. It’s unfortunate that people with good intentions are being manipulated, but they need to get some dignity and stop cowing to people who don’t even like you or your way of life, especially leftists who advocate for people’s rights which will not be returned in kind.
I’m still dumbfounded that Burger King pulled an ice cream ad because some Muslims said the swirl looked like Allah. The reply should have been that it does not say Allah and we will not change it. If they get a company to do that, think of what else they’ll do.
Religion, Islam, is not a personal thing, and deserves no special accommodations above other ideologies and world views.

I noticed the other day that the Arabic “Allah” looks just like it represents male parts. On upper left there’s a small circle (anus); then a loose swirl down and foreward (perineum): then there are two lower semi-circles (testicles); then there is a tall upward stroke (shaft); atop it is a little side flourish (glans). A rather curious coincidence when it befits such a macho Deen.

Hey Muslims, respect this….there is no such entity as Allah, Mohammad was a violent, delusional lunatic and the Islamic religion is a totalitarian supremacist ideology masquerading as a religion and has been an embarrassing blight on the human race ever since it sprang from the diseased mind of your phony-baloney prophet. So take your hurt feelings and shove em up your raised asses sideways. Linkum!

Respect for Islam? Ha Ha Ha Ha ha….That train left the station a looooong time ago you ignorant peons.
rubiconcrest says
This action speaks volumes. It means the the OIC is concerned about the rising level of awareness in the west about the true nature of Islam. There should be a point by point examination by Nikki Haley at the UN of the difference between the 1948 UN Declaration of Human rights and the corresponding Cairo declaration of human rights. Let’s see where the nations of the world really stand.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Agreed, rubiconcrest. Such a point-by-point examination would be a useful exercise (it’s also already been done, but another perspective is always enlightening).
But just to add to that, the UDHR and the CDHRI are, strictly-speaking, not really comparable as they depart from exactly opposite standpoints. For those who embrace the UDHR, that document stands as the standard against which all things pertaining to human rights and ethics are measured. At its heart is the happiness and well-being of the individual. For those who subscribe to the CDHRI, Islam is the standard against which all things human are measured. Of course, the UDHR with its talk of equality, rights, respect, non-discrimination, sanctity of life, etc., falls well short of what Islam regards as acceptable.
For a start, its biggest flaw, as far as Muslims are concerned, is that it makes everyone equal, and especially, that it implies non-Muslim are equal to Muslims. That goes flat against the Qur’an and Muslims’ regard of themselves as supreme, and as such is deeply, deeply offensive. Then it messes with other sanctities like male control over females, slavery, violent aggression against non-Muslims, etc., and several other things that the Qur’an holds dear. There’s a gap here that cannot be bridged. The CDHRI is the direct expression of Muslim revulsion at being covered by the UDHR.

Islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.

For us in the West, the reality is that to preserve our culture and ourselves we will have to fight. That dosen’t necessarily mean a literal fight, although it may very well come to that. The point is that to continue to exist we will have to reaffirm who we are and stand up for ourselves.
If we do not, the whole West will just be swept away by the muslim world. The attempt to silence our free speech is just the beginning. Jihad is always relentless. The onslaught will not stop here. Far from it – just wait and see.

The UN is a worthless group dominated by islamic countries and should not be kept alive by our tax money. The muslims cry foul every time someone points out their crimes but take the liberty to kill, maim, and disrespect people of other beliefs, gender and nationality.

I certainly hope that Trump has the guts to cut them off of taxpayers money and other western countries will follow suit.

Aussie Infidel says
In any human interaction, respect must be earned not simply demanded. If Muslims want respect, they should also respect the rights of others – but they don’t – Muslims in general are antagonistic toward non-Muslims.The Islamic holy scriptures call for the murder of non-Muslims simply because they do not worship the same God, or obey the same discriminatory, theocratic laws. Why should non-Muslims respect Islam, when Muslims don’t respect them? There are dozens of verses in the Quran which call for violence against unbelievers. Most Muslims don’t give a damn about the beliefs or rights of others, because that’s what their warlord prophet Muhammad did some fourteen centuries ago, and Muslims today are still just following his example.
The only restriction on speech should be against incitement to violence against other people. Criticism of ideas or beliefs should never be restricted; they are simply the products of human imagination, and must always be open to question. Otherwise, how do we determine what is right and what is wrong; and what is acceptable in society and what is not. People should be allowed to speak their minds freely about any issue which concerns them, and if in the process, some people are offended by criticism of their pet ideas, then so be it. That’s a small price to pay for the truth to eventually emerge. But as we know, Islam is a supremacist ideology which claims that it is perfect (Quran 5:3, 11:1), and the ‘correct religion’ (Quran 98:6), and forbids any criticism (Quran 33:57; Reliance of the Traveller, o8.7).
Islam is a totalitarian ideology which will not tolerate any opposition (Quran 3:85), or challenge to its authority (Quran 33:36), and intends to dominate all other religions (Quran 48:28). If Muslims demand that Islam be treated with respect, they should treat others with the respect they desire for themselves; in other words, abide by the Golden Rule. They could start by removing all the verses in the Quran which criticise and denigrate unbelievers; and by removing all the laws in the Sharia which discriminate against non-Muslims. But again as we know, that will never happen because there is no hierarchy within Islam to allow for such a process.

ronyvo says
To OIC and all Muslims:
1- Respect is earned NOT demanded. But, you got used to this DEMAND behavior because of the cowardice or ignorance of Islam & because you used to get what you demand regardless of how ridiculous and against our civilized values.
2- Islam cannot be respected because of t’s extremely violence teachings. The Koran is the source of those horrible teachings.
3- The Islamic invasion (not refugees) of the West is an ignorance and treason by the leaders of the invaded countries.
4- One can very easily come to this conclusion by simply reading the Koran, a satanic book belongs to the 7th century in the desert Sahara. It is inhumane.
5- ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION. Islam must be forbidden to enter any western country. Look at the shameful and violent Islamic history. See how behind are the countries which have been invaded by Islam and the horrible condition they are in.
terry says
Respect is earned. It is not forced at the point of a sword. I am a Christian, and have listened to people mock, shame, murder, rape, falsely accuse, and falsely use Christianity. A follower of the Way, a believer in the Light and the Truth believes the core doctrines embraced in the New Testament. They do not lightly add books, chapters, and verses- nor subtract them. They do not pretend that Christ is a good man, and not deny that Christ is God come in the flesh, to be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, die a propitiation for sin upon the cross, rise from the dead, ascend to heaven, and that he is coming back to judge the quick and the dead! Those who alter, deny, or ignore these core doctrines, and claim to be a Christian, they are false; if they teach this, they are false teachers; if they preach against these doctrines or claim other gospels, other gods, other idols, or no god- they are false prophets. Yet I have no problem allowing God the Father to deal with such persons, such false faiths- he is GOD Almighty and I am not. I listen to people trash me, trash my faith, trash Jesus Christ, and make all manner of claims against GOD! I do not wish to silence them, punish them, force them to live as I believe, nor kill them because they will not. I pray for them. Do my best to converse with them when asked, help all I am able, do my utmost to respect and love all people; I allow them to be and to believe what they will. BUT I will defend myself, my family, my nation, and my faith with force of arms if forced to! AND I will never cease to speak the truth about all that I have spoken herein. If muslims, islam wishes to be respected this sort of garbage is NOT the way to earn my respect! I have read the Koran, and hadithes, and I have lived among large populations of muslims. They have not earned my respect as being “a religion of peace.” They have waged jihad against one another, and against the rest of the world, they have sought to impose shria laws, islamist rule, and to subjugate all other peoples and nations. They have perverted history. laws, facts, and individuals in a bid to rule the world for some fictional caliphate; they have murdered in mass, raped and pillaged in mass, destroyed cultural heritages of other peoples and nations; they have lived, acted, and demanded to be above, better than, supreme, and beyond criticism, facts, and truths. They have, by and large, as a very large majority done all these things, and then demand I ignore, act as if this is not islam, pretend that jihad is spiritual not physical violent acts of rape, murder, and theft, that I am a bad, racist, islamophobic, supremacist, and evil for calling them out on all these things they have done, and do! Respect is earned, not demanded, nor given without reciprocating- and this they have and do not do!

In abusive relationships, it can be said that the truly loving thing to do for the abusive spouse is to set boundaries. These boundaries don’t give the demanding spouse everything he thinks he is entitled to. Instead, they draw a line of acceptable behavior, which if adhered to allows the abusive spouse to become more of the person he is meant to be (though he get there kicking and shouting).
It is that kind of respect that Islam should get. The kind of respect that demands that Islam treat others humanely. (This would mean an end to the long list of ills we know that Islam brings to the world.)
