Last December the Obama Administration pushed a UN resolution that banned criticism of Islam.
Of course the UN resolution acted like it was protecting ALL religion, but the only people who complain are Muslims so we KNOW that it was directed towards the anti-blasphemy Sharia type laws that protect against insults to Islam.
This UN Resolution is actually contradictory to the US Constitution!
The Obama Administration helped the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) push through their resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on religion.
Funny, they NEVER care when it's a Christian being insulted or Christianity in general?
Team Obama led the way for the resolution to pass through the General Assembly back in December 2011.
The U.N. General Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on their religion, and urging countries to take effective steps “to address and combat such incidents.”
No member state called for a recorded vote on the text, which was as a result adopted “by consensus.”
The resolution, an initiative of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), is based on one passed by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council in Geneva last spring. The State Department last week hosted a meeting to discuss ways of “implementing” it.
Every year since 1999 the OIC has steered through the U.N.’s human rights apparatus a resolution condemning the “defamation of religion,” which for the bloc of 56 Muslim states covered incidents ranging from satirizing Mohammed in a newspaper cartoon to criticism of shari’a and post-9/11 security check profiling.
Critics regard the measure as an attempt to outlaw valid and critical scrutiny of Islamic teachings, as some OIC states do through controversial blasphemy laws at home.
And, just think, it only took them nine months to start interrogating filmmakers.
Makes you look forward to another four years of this administration, huh?
This UN Resolution is actually contradictory to the US Constitution!
Everything the UN promotes is contrary to, and seeks to undermine our U.S. Constitution. Look at the UDHR, being shoved down the throats of our youngest school children. Agenda 21, taking over our bodies of water. Got an ICLEI in your town? Watch out!
The U.S. must withdraw all support from the UN ......... NOW!
The statement out of Washington about them condemning the anti-Muslim film while saying they support free speech is actually a direct contradiction to the UN Resolution they pushed for.
It further shows how confused (being polite) this administration truly is.
It also makes you wonder why on Earth Obama had his UN diplomat on the Sunday news programs answering questions about the Libyan attack...that's not her job....where was Hillary who should have been the person going on TV?
LOL..I like how there's "no recorded votes". No one wants to stand up and be counted with a name attached.
What do they fear..a fatwah against them ???

Freedom of Speech is a topic Liberals obviously don't care much about and don;t seem to care if we lose.
