Oh dear,-where are we heading....my oh my.....,if even the worlds most powerful organisation becomes inccorect....Surely,a shock to billions of PC´s out there,-and please,don´t cry....
23:d of July 2009,-Irelands Pres.Mary McAleese signed a law against defamation and slander,-a law against blasphemy to be more correct.The law also criminalizes anything that can be seen as degrading toward any religion,in speech or written...
The law says:"Anyone who publicises or speaks something that can be seen as blasphemic,shall be considered as a criminal,and if found guilty on these charges,-pay no more than 25.000 Euro in fine".....
Blasphemy is:"Anything that is humiliating or degrading in relation to matters that are hold as holy,by a majority of a religions followers,and that causes indignity beacause of that"...
Howeever,anyone charged because of blasphemy,can be free,if,:"A reasonable person finds genuine interest,such as artistic,political,scientific or academic values in this matter"
Phew,what a relief.....
2 yrs ago,the UN approved a resolution against blasphemy,but the resolution is not binding for member states...
But,the Pakistani ambassador to the UN,-Masood Khan,stated:"The OIC strives towards a binding resolution agains blasphemy,within 10 yrs"
In other words,-it shall be criminalized to criticise Islam as a religion,and also the representatives of this,(and other)faiths...
Shocking but true,the UN do not accept the demands,as UN´s commite for human rights points to article 19,-freedom of speech...
Krister thelin,chairman in the UN´s commite for human Rights says:"This document is a great help for anyone who fights for the freedom of speech"
Lawyer Percy Bratt,chairman of "Civil Rights Defense",makes it even clearer,as he says:"in an open and democratic society,peoplehave to count on to be criticised and mocked by others,who don´t shares their religious or cultural manifestations"...."You have the right to criticise and mock anyone´s religion or political views"..."It´s very important that the UN makes this stand"....
Indeed,but what a shock this must be,for the legions of PC´ers out there....
