Im studying on this topic and I happened to come acrossed this page. From what I\’ve seen, only Islams and Christian Pastors are for this (Pastors that I saw only wanted to keep the mouths of athiest shut which is wrong to think) and those against it are most christian, athiests, and pretty much the entire world. I\’m still doing some research so maybe I\’ll check in another day… =^_^=

Things should only be crimes if there’s a victim, and blasphemy would be a victimless crime.

Dominic,
I can’t speak for all Christians or Jews, but I can quite frankly say, if you criticize me or my faith, I may become upset, but I won’t seek you down, rape your family and kill you in front of their eyes.

Why am I so bluntly brutal? Because sadly, in the word today, that is what exactly happens. That is why the report focuses on Islam.

@Dominic Coke

The UN resolution states that Islam cant be criticised specifically. Although it does say all religions, it singles out islam.

If this is adopted then the fundamentalist win.
Any group that states, “You dont like what we say then we will kill you” will be able to do what ever they wish in the name of Islam.

Is Islam so fragile that they cant take a robust argument? Are the followers of Islam so weak in their faith that they cant join in a debate without protection of an overwhelming law?

The UN should keep its nose out of the basic human right of free speech and try to get those countries that signed up to this piece of nonsense to employ basic human rights for their people!

The UK has strong enough laws to protect those who have truly been discriminated against…Don’t let this nonsense be imposed.

If this ever came into law I would be the first to break it and take an argument to the high courts.

UN you are pathetic!

What is more disturbing about this report, is the fact that it is heavily slanted towards what an outrage it would be to not be able to criticise Islam. Is this serious journalism? Why single Islam out, what about Christianity? What about Judaism?

This report is scary on so many levels.

Pat Condell sums it up perfectly in his latest video called ‘Free speech is sacred’ on YouTube, for some reason this blog won’t let me post any of the links to it but it should be easy to find. It’s on Dawkins website also under Latest News.
