Blasphemers, Unite!

The important question here isn’t whether Fitna or Persepolis is offensive. "Offensive" movies will always be with us--they're a sign of human creativity, a spur to debate. I just hope the United Nations doesn't get involved. At the same time international campaigns were launched to shut down these movies, the United Nations Human Rights Council – in true Orwellian fashion – passed a resolution against “the defamation of religion” and suggests governments pass laws to stop to it. If freedom of expression – which includes the right to blaspheme the Gods – isn’t a human right, then human rights do not exist. Lives are at risk here, as are good movies and bad. It ought to go without saying that the United Nations Human Rights Council ought to concern itself with reducing threats to human rights rather than join the extremists and make threatening noises of its own.
