Pak Senate committee adopts resolution against Charlie Hebdo cartoons
2015-01-17
[DAWN] The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted a resolution Friday which strongly condemned blasphemous cartoons disrespecting Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) by 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 committee sent a copy of the resolution to the Foreign Office so that the latter could convey it to European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
(EU) Ambassadors in Pakistain.

The meeting was chaired by Senator Haji Muhammad Adeel at the Parliament House today.

The resolution said:

"The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, representing the sentiments of the Paks people and all civilised humanity strongly condemns the willful slander and insults hurled in a section of the French media towards Islam and the core beliefs of all Moslems."

It further states:

"Such an approach reflects hypocrisy and double standards among some in the West who justify this provocation in the name of freedom, while jailing those who deny the Holocaust".

The resolution welcomed the statement of Pope Francis-II who also said there were limits to free expression. It urged the government to take up the issue with the European Union in Brussels, and criminalise Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
in a manner similar to laws regarding the Holocaust.
