U.S. Sponsors Plan To Restrict Free Speech

Joins Egyptians in proposal to United Nations Human Rights Council

A proposal sponsored by the Obama administration at the United Nations that purports to seek protection for "freedom of opinion and expression" actually is a call for a worldwide crackdown on freedom of speech and a mandate for nations to ensure "that relevant national legislation complies with … international human rights obligations" – a clear threat to the First Amendment, according to critics.

The resolution was submitted recently by the United States and Egypt. It was approved by the U.N. Human Rights Council as a first step in its process through the international organization.
It demands that all nations condemn and criminalize "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence."

Steven Groves of the Heritage Foundation told WND the issue is not about free speech at all but about installing international precedents to stifle any criticism of Islam.

WND has reported on "anti-defamation" plans at the U.N., including when a proposal was made that would have made such speech restrictions mandatory on member states.

Egyptians?? Of all people? These are the people that just killed all the pigs belonging to the christians so they wouldn't get swine flu. Now they are suffering because the pig farmers are not coming in and taking away the trash for the pigs to eat. Cairo is filling up with trash so bad they can't even open their windows because of the smell. Everyone wants us to have islam stuffed down our throats here in the usa yet tell me just how many churches you see in saudi and other nations. If they dont like our way of life LEAVE.

I think Mr. Groves has this pegged. Only Obamabutt would support this attempt to suppress the truth. He is becoming very good at it.

Every day I'm saddened by what is in the news these days. What a slime ball we have as a president.

It's because you are all blinded by your hatred. "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence" sounds like a call for the muslim world to stop preaching jihad (in the terrorist since of the word).
