Combating Defamation of Religions - A Trojan Horse

The resolution Combating Defamation of Religions was designed by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and presented to the United Nations.  Starting in 1999 this anti-defamation has been submitted to the UN. It first started out to ban defamation of Islam and then changed to religions, but NO other religions are mentioned.  The OIC adopted the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights which makes sharia law the only source for human rights.  Sharia law allows the death penalty for anyone trying to convert from Islam, subjets non-Muslims to dhimmi( 2nd class) status, and prevents "converted " kidnapped victims from being returned to their non-Muslim family of origin, etc.
Consider the case of Saba Younis 13 and Aneela Younis 10 who were kidnapped in Chowk Munda, Pakistan on June 26th. Their father Younis Masih tried to file kidnapping charges against Muhammed Arif, Abjad Ali, and taxi driver Muhammed Asraf.  Accoring to Compass Direct these guys belong to "a powerful human trafficking ring"  The kidnappers claimed the girls had "converted" to Islam so they could not be returned to their Christian family.  The District Judge Mian Muhammed Naeem agreed with this nonsense and ruled in favor of the kidnappers.  The girls uncle Khalid Raheel told AsiaNews that Muhammed Arif gang recruited girls to force them to work in a bordello.  Naeem Asghar, the coordinator for the Catholic commision for justice and peace, said such marriages are phoney and are used to force girls into prostitution.  Khalil Tahir, the family's lawyer, said it is possible that the girls have been raped and sold to a brothel.  Younis Masih said," My Muslim countrymen think we are not human beings. They think we do not have dignity."
The American Center for Law and Justice(ACLJ)  has a petition which is to be given to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights. It already has more than 23,000 signatures.  The ACLJ's European branch (ECLJ)  submitted a legal analysis on the "Defamation of Religions" to the same U.N. commisioner.  Noting that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia said," America is at war with radical Islamists", the ACLJ said," Never have Christians been more targeted for their relgious beliefs.  And never have we faced a  more dangerous threat than the one posed by the OIC."
The US State Department also dislikes the "Defamation of Religions" proposal.  Leonard Leo said,"This resolution is incomplete inasmuch as it fails to address the situation of all religions....that any resolution on this topic must include mention of the nned to change educational systems that promote hatred of other religions, as well as the problem of state-sponsored media that negatively targets any one religion."
Thanks to World Net Daily and the ACLJ for bringing this to light. Unfortunately these issues get no mainstream media attention; even Fox news and NewsMax.com are falling down on the job.
