Which Human Rights the council is protecting?

The UN, human Rights

Since I already broke my rule about writing on UN issues I feel obligated to link to this post. It is always interesting to note what the UN Human Rights Mockery Council consider human rights. Freedom of speech isn’t one of them apparently:

So prohibiting dissemination of ideas based upon religious superiority “is compatible with the freedom of opinion and expression”; I suppose that would include claims that Islam, Christianity, or whatever else is the one true religion that is correct while others are false. And states are supposed to “prohibit the dissemination … of … xenophobic ideas and material aimed at any religion or its followers that constitute incitement to racial and religious … hostility”; I suppose that would include, for instance, condemnation of Scientology as fraud, or of Catholicism as oppressive, or for that matter of all religion as folly. And here I thought that freedom of thought, conscience and religion included the freedom to think and comment about all ideologies, including religious ones.
