Religion of Peace update: UN bows to Islam
Surprise, surprise; the useless tools on the UN Human Rights Council have weaseled out of any uncomfortable criticism of the horrific practices of Islamic extremists. Even the mention of the word “shari’a” is now taboo at the Council. They would much rather sidestep condemnation of the brutality their organization was formed to oppose, and instead leave the discussion of “honor” killings, beheadings, amputations, and stonings – and the Islamic laws and/or culture which perpetuate such barbarism – to smiling, well-rehearsed Muslim apologists.

GENEVA: Muslim countries have won a battle to prevent Islam from being criticised during debates by the UN Human Rights Council. Religions deserve special protection because any debate about faith is bound to be “very complex, very sensitive and very intense”, council President Doru-Romulus Costea said Wednesday.Scholars: Only religious scholars should be allowed to discuss matters of faith, he told journalists in Geneva.
While Costea’s ban applies to all religions, it was prompted by Muslim countries complaining about references to Islam.
Costea issued his “presidential ruling” on Monday during the eighth meeting of the council’s 47 members, which do not include the United States. The ruling will not affect findings by the council’s experts, just its chamber debates.
On Monday Egypt, Pakistan and Iran angrily protested attempts by a humanist group to link Islam to human rights abuses such as female genital mutilation and so-called honour killing of women. The interventions sparked a heated debate which threatened to sour the mood of the meeting. The council’s resolutions carry no legal weight but are intended to throw a spotlight on governments that abuse their citizens.
“This council is not prepared to discuss religious matters in depth, consequently we should not do it,” Costea ruled after an emergency break to calm the situation.
