#1 "...freedom of expression 'should not constitute a pretext and a platform to insult religions and their sanctities'..."

Actually, that's precisely what it constitutes. What happened to the Canadian journalist is just an example of how they actually apply their misguided notion.

Any prohibitive action by the UN "constitutes" violation of US law and should precipitate our withdrawal from the UN.

Any God who is weakened by a human critiquing religion is no God at all.

A new twist on Shakespeare:

"Let us withdraw-here all mouths speak of us."

"Men's mouths were made to speak, so let them talk."

#2 "Iran urges UN action to stop "defamation" of Islam"

Islam is self-defaming. How the hell is the UN supposed to stop it?

In fact, I have a lot of trouble anymore considering Islam a "religion"; looks to me more like it's some kind of primative, barbaric murder cult.

#3 Jules, more to the point is:

Hotsp. And I can teach thee, Cousin, to shame the Deuil, By telling truth. Tell truth, and shame the Deuill. If thou haue power to rayse him, bring him hither, And Ile be sworne, I haue power to shame him hence. Oh, while you liue, tell truth, and shame the Deuill

Shakespeare, Henry IV, part I, Act 3, Scene 1.
