Power Play at the UN

The grotesquely misnamed UN "Human Rights" Council--really, a branch operation of the Organization of the Islamic Caliphate and its flying monkeys--has laid down the (sharia) law for us impudent kafirs:
In a tight vote Thursday, the United Nations Human Rights Council voted in favour of a resolution condemning so-called "defamation of religion."

A coalition of 17 mostly Western nations, including the United States and the Netherlands, opposed the resolution, but 20 states, including China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia, voted in favour. Eight states abstained.

The resolution adopted by the 47-member council was similar to one passed last year, but also included a section slamming the recent Swiss vote to ban the construction of minarets in the country.

The resolution has drawn criticism from liberal groups over concerns of infringements on freedom of speech and a bias in favour of Islamic states.

No mention of discrimination, other than anti-Muslim practices, were in the resolution. Opponents noted tight restrictions on Christians, Jews and others in states such as Saudi Arabia and Libya, which did not make it into the adopted text...
No kidding.

Notice all the totalitarian regimes voted for 'control' of defamation, and all the free ones were not.

This should tell the human righters something. This should give them a hint. This should make them think twice about the 'control' thingie.

But it won't, because government 'control' is a leftie thingie and the only way their ideology has ever been able to survive over the long term....and they know it.

It must be sanctioned by an all powerful government.
