CBN News<\/a>\u00a0reported today on U.N. Resolution 16\/18, a U.N. Resolution supported by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The resolution sounds very practical until you\u00a0examine it closely. The resolution seeks to limit freedom of speech when dealing with Islam.<\/p>\n

The Center for Security Policy<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

The Obama administration started down this ill-advised road by cosponsoring in 2009 an OIC-drafted resolution in the UN Human Rights Council that condemned \u201cdefamation of religion\u201d \u2013 read, Islam.\u00a0 That initiative helped advance the Islamists\u2019 twelve-year campaign to \u201cprohibit and criminalize\u201d such defamation in accordance with the \u201cblasphemy laws\u201d that are part of the totalitarian doctrine they call shariah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, as more and more of the Free World began awakening to the danger posed by such efforts to compel them to submit to shariah, Team Obama helped engineer a new document at the Human Rights Council.\u00a0 Adopted in March, Resolution 16\/18 focused, instead of banning defamation, on getting the world\u2019s nations to combat \u201cintolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization, and\u00a0 discrimination, incitement to violence and violence against persons based on religion or belief.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The countries in the OIC that are sponsoring this are countries where a person can be put to death for converting to Christianity or encouraging anyone else to become a Christian. Do we really believe that they are for preventing discrimination based on religion?<\/p>\n

The article at CBN reports:<\/p>\n

Sekulow (Jordan Sekulow, director of policy and international operations for the American Center for Law and Justice)\u00a0says his organization is fighting to keep the resolution from becoming adopted because it could backfire and be broadly misinterpreted country by country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Just the building of churches … having a cross outside your door can be inciting violence,” Sekulow explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“So if you let them define these definitions when there is no problem coming from the minority faiths, this is somehow going to ‘green light’ their suppression,” he added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

We need to remember that freedom of\u00a0religion is not a right in many countries around the world. Letting a group of countries where freedom of religion does not exist pass a law about religious discrimination is simply not smart–the intentions of those countries may be very different than the intentions of the countries in the world where all faiths are welcome.<\/p>\n
