Not Free to Criticize Islam?

If Bill Clinton earned the title of "first black president" for reaching out to the black community -- until, of course, a real black president came along -- then Barack Obama should most definitely earn the title of "first Muslim president". No one, and I mean no one, has looked out for the interests of Muslims more than Barack Hussein Obama.

Read about his latest move, and it is an alarming one, for if it succeeds, I and many others like me will be silenced on the issue of the dangers of Islam. From Gateway Pundit:

Obama Administration Pushes UN Resolution That Bans Criticism of Islamic Radicalism

"Thanks to the Obama Administration – Criticism of Islamic violence will be forbidden.

The Obama Administration helped the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) push through their resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on religion. Team Obama led the way for the resolution to pass through the General Assembly.
CNS News reported:


'The U.N. General Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on their religion, and urging countries to take effective steps “to address and combat such incidents.”

No member state called for a recorded vote on the text, which was as a result adopted “by consensus.”

The resolution, an initiative of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), is based on one passed by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council in Geneva last spring. The State Department last week hosted a meeting to discuss ways of “implementing” it.

Every year since 1999 the OIC has steered through the U.N.’s human rights apparatus a resolution condemning the “defamation of religion,” which for the bloc of 56 Muslim states covered incidents ranging from satirizing Mohammed in a newspaper cartoon to criticism of shari’a and post-9/11 security check profiling.

Critics regard the measure as an attempt to outlaw valid and critical scrutiny of Islamic teachings, as some OIC states do through controversial blasphemy laws at home.

Strongly opposed by mostly Western democracies, the divisive “defamation” resolution received a dwindling number of votes each year, with the margin of success falling from 57 votes in 2007 to 19 in 2009 and just 12 last year.

This year’s text was a departure, in that it dropped the “defamation” language and included a paragraph that reaffirms “the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information can play in strengthening democracy and combating religious intolerance.”

The nod to freedom of expression won the resolution the support of the U.S. and other democracies, with the Obama administration and others hailing it as a breakthrough after years of acrimonious debate
.'


Doubtful. Look for this new resolution to be used against anyone who dares criticize Islamic violence. Why else would the OIC and Obama push it?

By the way… There have been 18,167 deadly attacks in the name of Islam since 9-11.

Obama doesn’t want you to talk about it."

This administration and their allies the anti-American, anti-Israeli United Nations have never pushed through a resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of Israelis and Christians based on their religion.

What an embarrassment to the America People for the democrats acceptance and embrace of radical Islamist.

Very Sad
