UN Body Approves Pakistan-Led Motion on Religious Hatred After Koran Burning
Two days ago the UNHRC popped up on our radar blithering ineffectually about Israel. Today there’s this bit of meaninglessness:
[KhaamaPress] In response to the burning of a Koran in Sweden, the the U.N. Human Rights Council
... ...established in 2006 because its predecessor, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, was too openly a tool of the most evil countries on the planet. Unfortunately, the UNHRC uses the same format and has the same members, so the same problems continue......
endorsed a divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
resolution against religious hatred on Wednesday.

The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
and the United States opposed the resolution because they claim it goes against their stance on freedom of expression and human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
Voting results were 28 countries in favor, 12 countries opposed, and 7 countries abstained.

The motion, brought by Pakistain in response to the incident last month, sought to pass the resolution for the U.N. rights chief to publish a report on the subject and call on states to review their laws and close any loopholes that may "impede the prevention and prosecution of acts and advocacy of religious hatred".

Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia grabbed for Jane's hair to make her point. Jane elbowed her in the face in rebuttal...
the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
authorities suspended all activities by Sweden in Afghanistan on Tuesday due to the Koran-burning incident.

"After insulting the Holy Koran and the Moslem faith in Sweden, the Islamic Emirate suspends Sweden’s activities in Afghanistan until they apologize to the Moslems for this heinous act. IEA’s relevant organizations are obliged to comply with this directive," a statement said.

According to the statement, all Moslem nations should protest Sweden’s savage treatment of the Holy Koran and stop interacting with it.

"Looking into the rude act of Sweden, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan wants other Moslem countries to reconsider their interaction with this country," the statement added.

An immigrant from Iraq burned the Koran outside a mosque in Stockholm last month, inciting outrage across the Moslem world.
