The United Nations "Human Rights Council" the other day voted for international blasphemy laws. Or something to that effect. The decision was triggered by a recent burning of the Quran outside a mosque in Sweden (by a Christian Iraqi). The resolution was sponsored by Pakistan, a Muslim nation which for a long time has been demanding international blasphemy laws.
Here is an Wikipedia entry on how blasphemy laws are used in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan itself...
Clearly, the UN "Human Rights Council" is some kind of burlesque parody of an actual human rights council!
