As shared before in this blog, the UN’s Defamation of Religions is an act that could in fact hurt Christians greatly (though at face value it seems like a good idea). Carl Moeller, President of Open Doors USA has recently written an article on this that you can read here.
Please continue to pray for Christians in this region and for those in the UN who have to make these choices.
The post should have mentioned the petition campaign Open Doors is mounting against the Combating Defamation resolution. Click thru to the article to read and sign it.
While that resolution will not be binding, enforcible international law, ICERD is. The Ad Hoc Cmte. on Elaboration of Complementary Standards is writing a protocol to ICERD which will make all criticism of Islam punishable by international law. This evil action is not receiving much notice.
If you are willing to rise up against this real and proximate threat to our freedom of expression, urge your Congressional Representative to get H.Res 763 out of cmte. and onto the floor for an immediate vote. Then sign and support the International Qur’an Petition, which turns Islam’s own tactic against it.
