Muslim Scholars Urge U.N. to Outlaw 'Contempt' of Religions
Skinless people in a sandpaper world... and oil only half the price it was. Let us ponder how much further it will fall when Iran's sanctions are lifted, and how much that will hurt that part of the Muslim world living on oil profits and the charities deriving therefrom.
[AnNahar] A leading Islamic organization has called on the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
 to make "contempt of religions" illegal and urged the West to protect Moslem communities following the attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
.

The Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
-based International Union of Moslem Scholars, headed by influential preacher Yusuf al-Qaradawi
...crackpot Egyptian Islamist theologian. He is best known for his program Shariah and Life on Al Jazeera, with an estimated audience of 60 million kindred souls worldwide. He is also well-known for IslamOnline, which occasionally advocates things like slavery and thumping the old lady with a rod no thicker than an inch, and has published more than 120 books, including Islam: The Future Civilization. Joe has long had a prominent role within the intellectual leadership of the Moslem Brüderbund. Some of his views have been controversial in the West, though less so among the rubes of the Mysterious East, and he was refused entry to the United Kingdom in 2008. In 2004, 2,500 Muslim academics from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and from the Palestinian territories condemned Qaradawi, and accused him of giving Islam a bad name....
, appealed to Moslems to continue peaceful protests against images of the Prophet Mohammed but "not to resort to any violence".

The latest cartoon of the prophet in Charlie Hebdo has angered many Moslems and triggered protests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

In a statement released Tuesday, the union said there should be protection for "prophets" and urged Islamic countries to submit a draft law to the U.N. calling for defamation of religions to be outlawed.o
Nota bene: nothing the UN General Assembly does is binding, and the Security Council will not at this stage approve.
The union said the U.N. should then issue a "law criminalizing contempt of religions and the prophets and all the holy sites".

It also called for the West "to protect Moslem communities from attacks, whether they are citizens or residents or visitors".
Like Muslims do the unbelievers in their midst?
The union has condemned the publication of a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a "Je suis Charlie" sign under the headline "All is forgiven" in the first Charlie Hebdo edition since Islamist gunnies killed 12 people in an attack on its offices.

It said that the new drawing would give "credibility" to the idea that "the West is against Islam" and warned the image would incite further hatred.

Qaradawi, 88, is seen as a spiritual guide of Egypt's banned Moslem Brüderbund, the movement of ousted former president Mohammed Morsi.
