In calling for this, Khan is echoing Turkey’s Erdogan, who called for the same thing last Tuesday. Khan and Erdogan want the UN to criminalize criticism of Islam in the guise of acting against “hate speech” and “Islamophobia.” “Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to oppose jihad terror. And it’s working great. This agreement is meant not to “remove misunderstandings,” but to increase them, and to foster ignorance and complacency in the guise of educating people so that they won’t victimize innocent Muslims, which every civilized person knows not to do already.
“Pakistan PM Cites Noam Chomsky, Demands Global Blasphemy Laws at U.N.,” by Frances Martel, Breitbart, September 25, 2020:
Islamist Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan urged the United Nations to support the “universal outlaw[ing]” of criticism, mockery, or other expression deemed offensive to Muslims in his address to the General Assembly Friday.
Like fellow Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey did during his speech on Tuesday, Khan called for the creation of an international day against “Islamophobia.” He further asserted that the Chinese coronavirus pandemic had “accentuated” alleged discrimination against Muslims.
Khan also cited leftist writer Noam Chomsky to make the case that the rise of “authoritarian regimes,” in which he did not appear to include his own, had made the world more dangerous today than it was prior to the two modern world wars.
The Christian aid group Open Doors ranks Pakistan the fifth most dangerous country in the world for Christians, both due to its legalized capital punishment for those convicted of “blasphemy” and for mob killings of those accused of speaking ill of Islam, which the Pakistani government typically fails to prosecute. While Pakistan has never executed anyone convicted of blasphemy, verbal disagreement or criticism of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is punishable by death. Desecration of the Quran or generalized “blasphemy” can result in death sentences or life in prison.
A Pakistani court sentenced a Christian man, Asif Pervaiz, to death last week for alleged “blasphemous” texts, which the man denied sending. Pervaiz’s lawyer has argued that Pervaiz never spoke ill of Islam but did politely reject his boss’s demands that he convert to the faith.
Khan did not address the widespread persecution of Christians, who have existed in the land constituting modern Pakistan long before its Islamic population, during his address on Friday. Khan did attack European nations for tolerating the expression of sentiments offensive to him.
The Chinese coronavirus pandemic, Khan said, has “accentuated Islamophobia.”
“Muslims continue to be targeted with impunity in many countries … incidents in Europe, including republication of blasphemous sketches by Charlie Hebdo, are recent examples,” Khan said, referring to the French satirical magazine that lost 12 people to a jihadist massacre in 2015. French police are treating a machete attack that occurred hours before Khan’s speech near the offices of the magazine as potential terrorism.
“We stress that willful provocations and incitement to hate and violence must be universally outlawed,” Khan said on behalf of Pakistan. “This Assembly should declare an ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ and build a resilient coalition to fight this scourge — scourge that splits humanity.”
Khan launched an international campaign to criminalize free expression in the cases of alleged blasphemy in 2018, shortly after taking the reins of the country.
“Pakistan will spearhead a campaign for an international declaration against the defamation of religions,” Khan said at the time, explaining that its goal would be to “prevent people using freedom of speech as a cover for hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims around the world. Pakistan will spearhead the signing of this convention and make using freedom of speech to commit blasphemy a crime.”
Khan more generally warned the assembly that, in his estimation, the world was at high risk for global conflict.
“Today, the foundations of ‘world order’ — non-use of or threat of unilateral force, self-determination of peoples, the sovereign equality and territorial integrity of States, non-interference in their internal affairs, international cooperation — all these ideals are being systematically eroded,” Khan said.
“According to respected professor Noam Chomsky, mankind is at even a greater risk than it was before the 1st and 2nd World Wars in the last century,” he contended, “because of the increased threat of nuclear war, climate change, and sadly the rise of authoritarian regimes. We must come together to prevent such a catastrophe.”…

Such dribble from a dictatorial, Islamic terrorist in a suit. He and the ‘little’ despot from Turkey are dangerous people who should be identified world wide as ‘terrorists’ in suits.

Such dribble from a dictatorial, Islamic terrorist in a suit.
Yes, drivel is all they know. If they ever made any sense in their defense of islam we’d probably all poop our pants in disbelief.
And yes, “terrorists in suits” is apt; but I prefer “white washed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.”[Math 23:27] As an atheist I don’t usually quote the Bible, but it seems to fit so well when talking of these islamic hypocrites. Jesus goes on to say, “In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.… It’s so easy to apply those words to muslim leaders, like members of CAIR who typically act righteously angry over cartoons but haven’t a word to say about the monumental crimes of islam. Their power relies heavily on keeping their people ignorant for islam. If muslims begin to question the immoralities and stupidities upon which it is founded then the whole damn thing collapses. And golly gee, wouldn’t that be a shame? 😉

Rather have a Christiano-phobia Day to stand in support of Christians. Or Christophobia, since they want believers to denounce their faith. It appears to be an illness among athiests, Communists and Muslims.
Check Burry says
Khan did attack European nations for tolerating the expression of sentiments offensive to him.
Kahn your oblivious to the very physical attacks on folk not of your group, who inflict pain on us on a daily basis, more painful than the words some use about your group. Please stop complaining, killing, and we may start to listen to you. Not looking very likely though.
Check Burry says
Kahn will your new law contain a passage allowing those who wish to leave your group, a life free from death threats, or death full stop, and halt FGM, honour killings, etc etc. I think not, but go on, make my day.
Jaladhi says
How about declaring an “international day combat Islamic terror” rather than the fake concoction called Islamophobia?
That will be combating real menace than the imaginary one!
mortimer says
The ‘Islamophobia’ slander is a form of GASLIGHTING … namely, they call someone MENTALLY ILL or DELUSIONAL when that person observes a real anomaly or problem.
The Islamic apologists want to brainwash or convince mentally healthy people that they are going insane or that their understanding of reality is mistaken or false.
Jihad terrorism accounts for an average of 50 deaths every day of the year, making a yearly average of over 18,000 jihad-related deaths. Objectively, then, jihad is a genuine problem, rather than a delusion.

“Muslims continue to be targeted with impunity in many countries
Yes, muslims are targeted with really mean cartoons by insensitive people who can’t seem to shut up about mass terror for religion, it’s an outrage! Good grief. Now, let’s take a moment and consider the real targeted victims, like the Christians and Jews who are murdered and driven from their homes in parts of the Middle East by muslims, as an example And let’s consider the targeted victims of terror attacks by muslims worldwide for advancing islam–37,000+ and counting since 9/11 alone. Muslims don’t do these attacks because of “islamophobia,” they do it out of religious conviction 1400 years old. The fact they even dare act offended is itself an affront to human decency and honest speaking.
They have the audacity to speak of “blasphemous sketches by Charlie Hebdo” in a time of mass murder and persecution for allah, with ISIS still fresh in our minds. Are these muslims incapable of even the tiniest introspection? Their stated goal is to “prevent people using freedom of speech as a cover for hurting the religious sentiments of muslims,” which is so shockingly hypocritical that one wonders why their head doesn’t explode saying it. How many thousands of times in just the last 20 years have we witnessed muslims terrorizing and persecuting while using their fake religion as a “cover” against any exposure of the doctrines that provoke that violence? The whole tone and tenor of islam is one of political aggression and stealth under the guise of religion. I think their accusations of verbal dissembling for blasphemy rings hollow while they hide their jihad agenda under the umbrella of religious devotion. I don’t think we in the west should worry too much about cartoons that offend their murderous religion, better they should worry about the people who are mass murdered and suffer for it. Like I said before, a cartoon never killed anyone. Islam on the other hand has been their spiritual and “moral” justification for genocidal crimes of murder and terror against humanity for centuries. Hearing muslims acting offended over cartoons is as outrageous as Hitler being offended by the complaints of Jews he gassed. Sorry for the insensitive visual, but I feel it needs to be said.
Don’t listen to the muslim hypocrites and liars! The more we speak the truth the more desperate they’re getting. The balloon of stupidity for islam is about to pop, and we should expect things to get a lot worse before they get better.
Eva says
Beautifully said!!!
I truly hope the balloon of stupidity for islam is about to pop, at least we would know that there is light at the end of a 1400 year tunnel.

Islam’s credibility is rapidly leaking out.
“The standard narrative has holes in it”, admitted Sheikh Yasir Qadhi.
Many recent developments of archaeological evidence and proof from coins are discussed at Pfander films by Dr. Jay Smith; also at CIRA International with Al Fadi, former muslim from Saudi Arabia.
Islam is haemorrhaging adherents in, for instance, Iran. Bilal Philips speaks of “a tsunami” of muslims leaving Islam.
Keep up the pressure.
SAFI says
Of course this odious islamist villain Imran Khan would cite Gnome Chomsky, the archetypal “academic” leftard guru who’s been preaching western self-hatred for over four decades now (and now well in his 90s he still feels the need to share his senile ramblings) but to mention “authoritarian regimes”… I mean just STFU Khan!

These Muslims are full of so much bullshit and hypocrisy. I believe that Muslims should stop their endless hatred, right there in the Koran, for non-Muslims, before they start talking about any hatred that non-Muslims might have for Muslims. Islam is the most obsessively hate filled ideology around, and yet these idiotic Muslims spend so much time crapping on about how non-Muslims hate them. Get your own stinking house in order is what I’d say to this former cricket playing fuckwit and all the other Muslim spokesmen. Get rid of the hatred in Islam (oh, that’s right, if all that hate was gone, there’d be nothing there at all) before you whinge about islamophobia. Also, Pakistan being such a disgusting country, do something about the Christianphobia and terrible persecution of Christians in that hellish country.
Beverly says
Yeah. When it appeared on my screen the word phobia was covered with advertising – so I thought it said ‘A Celebration to combat Islam’. And then I saw the rest of the word and laughed.

Islam hasn’t done a damned thing for this world except spread misery and poverty for over 1000 years. Meanwhile, most other religions have achieved great things.

Interesting. I seem to recall an Austrian ‘gentleman’ with a small moustache who had a habit of shouting and banging on a rostrum. He also thought that the world should kowtow to him and his pet doctrine. It seems like the UN, created by us in the West, has now been taken over by this sort of person. Time to leave it, I think.

Attacking and hurting non-Muslims, raping non-Muslim women and girls and later forcing them to convert to Islam, destroying non-Muslim places of worship or converting into mosques, migrating into non-Muslim lands in everyday basis all over the world and all acts of non-stop jihad against non-Muslims are not based on love or humanitarian goodwill, but pure Islam. A genuine and factual criticism of Islam without any violence is not Islamophobia. It is not a hate-speech in everyway. Why you are making a fuss out of this Khan?
somehistory says
There is no such thing as irrational fear of islam. This is a fictional term, whose idea came from the large moslim org that has a big spot in the U.N. because they saw the success of the word homophobia used by homosexuals to stop people from saying things they didn’t wish to hear said.
This large group of moslims…the oic…acting on behalf of the thin-skins of moslims everywhere, coined this term in an effort to stop the truth about islam from reaching the ears and minds of the ordinary citizen. In whatever country that citizen might reside. But, esp in Western countries where people have been free to speak their minds for a very long time and not be made afraid of voicing the Truth or what they believe is the truth.
Now, it’s become big business for moslims to harp on this made-up, fictional idea, that people should not be allowed to speak the Trth that offends the moslim and every day, some moslim somewhere is claiming someone showed this phobia to them, or wrote about islam and committed tan act of “phobia,” or that there should be laws…nation by nation and internationally…that will stop people from feeling like telling the truth and exposing moslims for the things they believe and wish to do to the rest of us humans.
They want to enslave us to islam, as they are enslaved. Misery loves company, and in this case, miseray lusts and kills for company.
If one has a “fear” of islam, they should learn enough about it to realize it does no good to fear it, but hate it; and tell about it, they must. If one speaks the Truth about islam, they should do it all the more as the shouting and whining about people telling the truth and trying to stop this, is becoming ever louder.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“…they saw the success of the word homophobia used by homosexuals to stop people from saying things they didn’t wish to hear said.”
Yes, and very clever.
Homophobia is an irrational fear of homosexuals. There is no reason to actually fear most homosexuals any more than there is a reason to actually fear most heterosexuals. So a fear of homosexuals is irrational.
Not so with islam. The fear is totally rational. But their tactic, to a large extent, is working…

I don’t understand how anyone could do anything but hate this religion considering all it has done and all that it inspires its followers to continuously do.
Islam does not have a right to a good reputation; it does not have a right to be loved or respected. You have to earn it.
And all that it has earned is fear and loathing. The so so called ‘Islamophobia’ is richly deserved. Now enjoy it Muslims.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Muslims being dragged, kicking and screaming(and bombing, slicing, raping) into the 21st century…all the way from the 7th century that they so desperately want to stay in. Muslims have such low emotional intelligence because of their #%$@&^% -up cult…..that the threat of violence is ever present and so easily triggered. knuckle dragging savages rule the streets of Pakistan….someone gets called a blasphemer, and the savages come out in a psychotic rage wanting to kill them right then and there. The UK has been welcoming these inbred, paedophile savages into the country….while those people who oppose raping, beheading, stabbing and vehicle homicide are banned from entering. There is something very wrong with people in the UK.
Michael Copeland says
“We stress that willful provocations and incitement to hate and violence must be universally outlawed,” Khan said on behalf of Pakistan.
Willful provocations?
Like “Jews are apes and swine”?
Like Non-muslims are “the vilest of creatures”?
Incitement to hate?
“…between us and you enmity and hatred forever” – Koran 60:4
Incitement to violence?
“When you meet the unbelievers strike the neck” – Koran 47:4
“Kill them wherever you find them” – Koran 2:191
What is all this about “denigrating other religions”?
Mohammed spent much time denigrating other religions of his neighbours. Furthermore he later smashed all the religious idols in the Ka’aba.
Mohammed is “the beautiful pattern” for muslims. He shows them what to do. Blackening the actions of Mohammed amounts to blasphemy in Islam, requiring the death penalty. Khan thus makes himself an apostate – again requiring the death penalty.
David Joseph says
“Jews are apes and swine”, “non-muslims are “the vilest of creatures”? these are the words of Auwloh SWT (the God of islam), right? from the inception of islam, they are really hate all peoples other than moslems, even they hate pigs (but when they tasted for the first time pork, they “are flying to the moon” murmuring “wow, it’s really delicious, man!”
