#1 How about you guys call for building a bunch of churches in Saudi Arabia first. Demonstrate how open and tolerant you are. Then start asking others.

#3 The Paris death squad did exactly what these mainstream Muslims had demanded for years and again we would be in the wrong if we held mainstream Muslims and Islam accountable in any way?

When UNESCO proposed a 'New World Information Order' designed to impose communist censorship on the world the US left UNESCO.

The West didn't turn into a finlandized joke in the face of an adversary with a huge conventional and nuclear arsenal. Why are we effectively surrendering to a pathetically weak enemy?

'The union said the U.N. should then issue a "law criminalizing contempt of religions and the prophets and all the holy sites"'

By "religions" they mean Islam.

By "prophets" they mean islamic prophets only (including Jesus and Moses as islamic prophets exclusively.)

By "holy sites" they mean that all islamic holy sites are to be respected and that all disputed holy sites are to be recognized as exclusively islamic holy sites.

Is there any Western politician of repute who will give the proper response to these people?

Nuts!

#5 I say we accept their demand and hold them to it as strictly as anyone else. There should be serious financial penalties to any govt that allows a religion like, oh I don't know, Christianity, to be ridiculed or harassed within their borders.
See how they like playing that game.

#6 And who do they want to enforce this law for them? The US, I sure will be glad when someone grows some balls big enough to tell them to go to hell.

#7 Don't forget about Machmud the Knife.

And the twit tag, "I am the Knife" (in French).

The other side of the coin, "Muslim Scholor Urge UN to enforce Religious Adherance."

#8 Awful quiet when Western pubs have been attacking Christianity and Christians [who by the way are not out shooting, bombing and beheading people in as large numbers as you know who] for the last several decades. Now all he sudden, they discover 'contempt of religions'. Sorry buddy, when they came for the Jews you said nothing. When they came for the Christians you said nothing.....

#9 So when Muslims burn churches, behead Christians, vandalize synagogues, and other Muslim festivities, these scholars will immediately and unequivocally condemn them, right?

Right?

#10 It said that the new drawing would give "credibility" to the idea that "the West is against Islam"

I wish...

#11 You are right. Islam is not a religion. It is a gutter political movement with spiritual undertones.

#12 newc, those aren't undertones, that's marketing spin. Bait and switch ya know?

#13 What happens if a religion is built upon contempt of others...

#14 Thank you. This is fundamental proof the Islam is inherently incompatible with Western Civilization and free speech. War is inevitable.

#15 The Organisation of Islamic Co-operation has 57 member states. They campaign on this issue relentlessly, year after year at the UN.

They want "religious vilification" (blasphemy rebadged) to be considered a "human rights violation"

That means the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights kicks in and every Western nation will have to draft blasphemy laws.

In Australia they have been lobbying separately, funding their fifth column to do it

We now have a "vilification of religion" law in the state of Victoria.

They are lobbying in every other jurisdiction and federally. They have set up a FaceBook page called Islamophobia Register Australia to log any and all cases of "religious attack" on Muslims and to document it so they have a handy dossier of "hate crimes" to lobby with.

Then they can say they are victims and need special protection from "racist" bigoted Australians.

And get the law in that way.

This must be resisted, we must raise awareness of this push and its foreign backing to protect ourselves from losing important Enlightenment principles and the protection of secular laws.

Freedom of speech is being crushed.

After the Islamofascist attack in Sydney, the NSW Police Media Unit put out a press release saying they would investigate "crimes of bias" and gave a hotline number.

This was duly shared across Facebook on the Islam-promotion sites. they are turning the organs of civil society against the host.
