Muslim States Press U.N. Council to Condemn Anti-Islam Actions, Speech

The OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries) has decided that the recent attempt by certain Christians here in the states to burn the Qu’ran is worthy of legal penalization.  They are now petitioning the UN to pass a law against  “instances of intolerance, discrimination, profiling and acts of violence against Muslims occurring in many parts of the world.”

Now, let’s throw aside the fact that the military just burned countless Bibles at the request of these countries….and the fact that Christians aren’t even allowed to speak of Jesus in their countries….and the fact that radical Islam (which they support) seeks to kill Christians, and any Muslim that converts to Christianity.  Maybe then, I would be sympathetic to their plight.

But we can’t discount those facts.  And it doesn’t leave them much credibility…or much respect.  I feel sorry for them.  Not so much for the fact that some misled Christian threatened to burn their book, but for the fact that they are so pathetic in their response. 

But look at the phrasing that they used:  “….instances of intolerance, discrimination, profiling and acts of violence…”  Notice how they sneak that phrase “profiling” in their petition?  Don’t want any extremists profiled.

And this coincides with their annual “running of the bull” (and I don’t mean the four-legged kind)–their presentation of the “Defamation of Religion” garbage that they peddle every year at the UN.  This resolution to supposedly end religious by making an international law against persecuting religions is nothing but smoke.  A closer look at this resolution shows that, for example, a Christian could be arrested for prosletyzing or calling another religion a false religion.  On top of that, Islam is the only religion ever mentioned in this resolution.

Radical Islam is very sneaky and underhanded.

Undoubtedly considered a noble title to have by some. I have had the opportunity to meet several former Muslims in my lifetime and they make excellent and powerful Christians. A sometimes dangerous occupation as Islam calls for the death of all Muslims who leave the Faith. Islam calls for the conversion, subjegation or elimination of all peoples who fall under their control. Leaving the religion to join another is simply not an option in Islam and frequently leads to the death or imprisonment of those who decide that the teachings of Muhammed are not for them.

Coptic priest Zakaria Botros fights fire with fire

Though he is little known in the West, Coptic priest Zakaria Botros — named Islam’s “Public Enemy #1” by the Arabic newspaper, al-Insan al-Jadid — has been making waves in the Islamic world. Along with fellow missionaries — mostly Muslim converts — he appears frequently on the Arabic channel al-Hayat (i.e., “Life TV”). There, he addresses controversial topics of theological significance — free from the censorship imposed by Islamic authorities or self-imposed through fear of the zealous mobs who fulminated against the infamous cartoons of Mohammed. Botros’s excurses on little-known but embarrassing aspects of Islamic law and tradition have become a thorn in the side of Islamic leaders throughout the Middle East.

Botros is an unusual figure onscreen: robed, with a huge cross around his neck, he sits with both the Koran and the Bible in easy reach. Egypt’s Copts — members of one of the oldest Christian communities in the Middle East — have in many respects come to personify the demeaning Islamic institution of “dhimmitude” (which demands submissiveness from non-Muslims, in accordance with Koran 9:29). But the fiery Botros does not submit, and minces no words. He has famously made of Islam “ten demands,” whose radical nature he uses to highlight Islam’s own radical demands on non-Muslims.

The result? Mass conversions to Christianity — if clandestine ones. The very public conversion of high-profile Italian journalist Magdi Allam — who was baptized by Pope Benedict in Rome on Saturday — is only the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, Islamic cleric Ahmad al-Qatani stated on al-Jazeera TV a while back that some six million Muslims convert to Christianity annually, many of them persuaded by Botros’s public ministry.
