If you know anything about “human rights commissions,” you know that
never were there entities more euphemistically named. They have
proliferated throughout the Western world and have become tools of the
thought police, and whatever rights they purport to protect, the right
to speak Truth isn’t one of them. For evidence of this, just ask
Canadian Christian Mark Harding,
who ran afoul of the Ontario Human Rights Commission for criticizing
Islam and was punished by his government. Or ask journalist Mark Steyn
(I guess it’s not a good time for Marks to be rendering opinions),
whose article “The Future Belongs to Islam” in Maclean’s
magazine led to the publication being the target of a “human-rights
complaint” in Canada (I guess it’s not a good time for Canadians to be
rendering opinions, either).
Now the United Nations Human Rights Council seeks to bring this
prescribed placidity to the whole world with a resolution that places
religion in general and Islam in particular off-limits for criticism.
Not surprisingly, Pakistan put the resolution forward on behalf of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference. This is much like how the
charges against Maclean’s were brought by two members of the
Canadian Islamic Congress who claimed that the magazine hurt Muslims’
“dignity, feelings and self-respect.” It’s yet another example of a
culturally exhausted West’s capitulation to a resurgent Muslim world.
Call it Saladin meets Richard the Chickenheart.
