Huge Victory for Free Speech--OIC Cries Uncle as It Fails to Get UN to Swallow Its Sharia-Based Blasphemy Bollocks
See me doing a happy dance, knowing full well that that the UN's largest voting bloc could relaunch its bid at any time:
ISTANBUL – Facing a strong Western opposition on ground of defending free speech, the world's largest Muslim body has dropped bid to obtain a ban on insults against religions and prophets.
"We could not convince them," Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"The European countries don't vote with us, the United States doesn't vote with us."
Muslims have campaigned for a UN resolution to ban blasphemy following repeated insults against Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) and Islamic sanctities on claims of free speech...
I don't know what he's talking about re the U.S., since Hillary was prepared to go along with the "reworked" resolution.
