The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has been trying for over 10 years to have the UN pass it's defamation of religions resolution. The OIC wants to have the UN ban any talk about the uncomfortable aspects of Islam, under the guise of protecting all religions from defamation. Unfortunately Islam is the only religion who finds insult in ANY kind of dialogue on itself or the behavior of Muslims. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Baptists, all other beliefs may complain and whine if someone says something mean about them, but they do not show the same penchant for violence as Islam does.
Now all that is moot as the UN Human Rights Council just bowed to Muslim sensibilities and the believed real rampant Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred.
We hate Muslims, therefore we cannot talk about them anymore. Brilliant.

The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), which represents the Islamic group at the council participated in the March 24 discussion. The United States and the European Union too were represented.
Informed sources in the OIC General Secretariat here said that the new resolution related to combating religious intolerance and negative stereotypes, stigmatization, discrimination, and incitement to violence, and violence against individuals based on religion and belief is not a substitute for an earlier resolution adopted by the UN on combating defamation of religions, which the Human Rights Council had adopted many times in the past several years.
(.)According to informed sources, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had invited the OIC to lead, along with both Washington and the European Union, the efforts to draft a new resolution to ensure the foundations adopted by the previous resolution, giving a wider margin of freedom of expression.
The sources confirmed at the same time that the decision regarding defamation of religions has not been abandoned.
This is the most contentious of the resolutions, because in countries with strong protections on speech and other forms of expression, the idea that a religion can have the same defamation protections as living individuals is considered an affront to individual rights.
