More bad news: if this last Friday we knew about the Danish Muslims and their report to the UN Commsioner on Human Rights, today, the Nordish Portal informs of a new UN campaign :
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has started a new campaign against racism, captioned by this newly created, downloadable flyer:
The little Lego piece is quite obviously accentuated in the poster, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is a thinly-veiled reference to Denmark supposedly being a “racist” country.

Reuters reports the following:
BERLIN, March 16 (Reuters) – A Turkish lobby group said on Thursday it has filed a criminal complaint against a German newspaper for printing a series of Danish cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammad last month.
It said the complaint was filed with prosecutors in the northern city of Cologne, charging the daily Die Welt with violating Germany’s criminal code by printing 12 cartoons of Islam’s prophet on Feb. 1, despite global unrest sparked by their initial appearance in a Danish paper.
While freedom of the press is guaranteed by the German constitution, the country’s law forbids public insults against religious societies, beliefs and groups that support specific world views.
“It is not the point of a free press to insult the religious sensibilities of nearly 3 million Muslims in Germany with provocations of this kind,” Abdullah Emil, general secretary of the Union of European Turkish Democrats (UETD), said.

Die Welt published the controversial Mohammed caricature with the bomb-shaped turban on the 1st of February here on their website. Also included, on that day, was a “bilder special” of several Mohammed cartoons.
Well, this last news are “very” good, because some days ago I wrote just here about the Düsseldorf carnival in which they constantly mock the Catholic faith without any kind of restraint. In fact, the Carnival’s organisers recognised that the real motive why they have not included ANYthing related no Muslims were “to keep the parade spectators safe“. And maybe a criminal complaint? Because if the Muslims file one the PC that are among us, would say “of course, these guys are correct, this is a very racist society”. But if a Catholic/Jew or any other religion says the same he is going to be labeled as intolerant the next minute in all MSM.

[...] Has he answered the question: Islam is opposite to Enlightment? NO. So what is the answer we have to listen to? But how this man has become a “truthful” expert on European Islam? He is even Blair’s “expert, on Islam, for God’s sake… But he is not different in this aspect to, for example, Abu Hamza, who “does not eat the prison’s food because it is not up to the usual standard” and does not like to dress as all the others inmates or non-Muslims to touch his food. But afterwards, Demark is a racist country. Well, if you read a post from Alexandra at All Things Beautiful about Oriana Fallaci, you’ll know. Read it, it’s truly good, here’s an excerpt: In her case, the religion deemed vilified is Islam, and the vilification was perpetrated, apparently, in a book she wrote in 2004–and which has sold many more than a million copies all over Europe–called “The Force of Reason”. Its astringent thesis is that the Old Continent is on the verge of becoming a dominion of Islam, and that the people of the West have surrendered themselves fecklessly to the “sons of Allah.” So in a nutshell, Oriana Fallaci faces up to two years’ imprisonment for her beliefs–which is one reason why she has chosen to stay put in New York. Let us give thanks for the First Amendment. (…)In Italy, the complaint came from Adel Smith, president of the Muslim Union of Italy, who was never charged with defaming Christianity after he referred to a crucifix as a “miniature cadaver” during his 2003 efforts to have depictions of Christ on the Cross removed from Italian schools (my own note: well, Islam is so bad treated in Europe, isn’t it?). He has amassed a reputation as something of a crank after demanding that Christians deny aspects of their faith that offended his Islamic sensibilities: he has called for the destruction of Giovanni da Modena’s fresco The Last Judgment in the 14th-century cathedral of San Petronio in Bologna, Italy, because that priceless expression of Medieval Christianity depicts the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in hell. And in the mother of all frivolous lawsuits, Smith in February 2004 brought suit against Pope John Paul II and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, for offending Islam by expressing in various writings their opinion, utterly unremarkable from two Christian leaders, that Christianity is unique and superior to other religions, including Islam. His new suit against Fallaci set down for June 2006 in Bergamo, which Fallaci refuses to attend, is hardly less frivolous, but Smith was able to find a judge willing to play along. Judge Armando Grasso of the Italian city of Bergamo ruled in a preliminary hearing that Fallaci’s latest book, La Forza della Ragione (The Force of Reason), contained eighteen statements “unequivocally offensive to Islam and Muslims,” and that therefore she must be tried. It is useful to go through Fallaci’s eighteen outrages, (as Robert Spencer did) as specified in Smith’s complaint, in order to see just how devious and devoid of substance Smith’s suit is. The trial will need to employ a battery of historians: several of Fallaci’s offending eighteen statements are simply assertions of historical fact. As Italian Justice Minister Roberto Castelli said in disagreement to Judge Grasso “In Europe,” he declared, “we are seeing the birth of a movement that is looking to silence those who don’t follow a single mindset, within which it is forbidden to speak ill of Islam….In Fallaci’s book there is very strong criticism but not defamation.” [...]

[...] If yesterday we saw the infamous poster the UN had made about “racism”, now we have another proof of the dhimmitude of the UN: UN: Denmark Acted Irresponsibly in Cartoon Crisis,” from Zaman.com, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: The United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council, which prepared a report about the cartoon crisis, breaking out after the publication of insulting images of Prophet Muhammad, accused the Danish government of acting irresponsibly during the crisis period. UN Higher Commissioner Louis [sic] Arbours special reporter Doudou Diene made harsh criticisms in his report about the Danish government and intellectuals along with the Danish daily Jyllands Posten, which published the blasphemous images first. The report stressed that beliefs should not be humiliated under the veil of freedom of expression as it dwelled on the importance of fighting against Islamophobia. [...]

[...] This is racism, UNCHR. Europe must defend itself with OUR values: human rights, Law and protection of the peaceful against the barbarians. This is totally despicable. [...]
