Time To Abandon The UN

So  Muslim community leaders are about to lobby the United Nations to outlaw blasphemy now!  For heaven’s sake, where is this rubbish going to end?

“Human rights are not about protecting religions; human rights are to protect humans,” Radsch said. “Who is going to be the decision-maker on deciding what blasphemy is?”

Courtney C. Radsch - who is program manager for the Global Freedom of Expression Campaign is absolutely right of course and should we even be placing trust in the UN to get such a definition right?  I don’t believe so.

The UN should not get their grubby little fingers stuck into curtailing global free speech because some Muslims regularly like to over-excite themselves.  Where will it all stop if they are permitted to get away with dictating which religions should be protected and which should not?

For the record, I am an atheist and treat all religions with equal disdain!

Let’s take this a step further.  What has the UN successfully done to rein in Muslim killing sprees – particularly with regard to attacks upon those who follow religions other than Islam?

I’ve had a serious problem accepting the UN as a competent, balanced body. It is devoid of credibility, in my opinion.  Their track-record is pretty deplorable, when you think about it.

I believe Australia, along with other democracies who continue to fund the UN should seriously consider whether this is money well spent.  I deplore waste!
