Racism expert: defamation of religions threat to world peace

Posté le Vendredi 14 septembre 2007 par lagrette

La version anglaise est plus complete, et on voit au moins que les Portugais, qui parlent au nom de l’Europe, ne se laissent pas faire :
European Union members of the council and other countries cautioned against equating criticism of religion with racism. »The EU finds it problematic to reconcile the notion of defamation with the concept of discrimination, » said Goncalo Silvestre of Portugal, who was speaking for the 27-nation bloc. « In our view these two are of a different nature. »Religions in themselves do not deserve special protection under international human rights law », he said.

The defamation of religions – particularly Islam – brings threat to world peace, UN racism expert said Friday.

« Islamophobia today is the most serious form of religious defamation, » Doudou Diene said (www.aqoul.com)

« Islamophobia today is the most serious form of religious defamation, » Doudou Diene told the U.N. Human Rights Council, which is currently holding a three-week session in Geneva.

Diene cited a caricature of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in a Swedish newspaper, a protest by far-right groups in Belgium Tuesday against the « Islamization of Europe, » and campaigns against the construction of mosques in Germany and Switzerland as evidence of an « ever increasing trend » toward anti-Islamic actions in Europe.

« We see the initiatives and activities of many groups and organizations which are working hard to bring about a war of civilizations, » he said, adding that right-wing groups were trying to equate Islam with violence and terrorism.

Diene, a Senegalese lawyer who was appointed as an independent U.N. expert on racism in 2002, was presenting a report on defamation of religions to the 47-member council. The report also includes sections on anti-Semitism and other forms of religious or racial persecution around the world.

African and Islamic countries welcomed the report and called for moves to draft an international treaty that would compel states to act against any form of defamation of religion.

« The international media continues to use the misguided actions of a small, extremist minority as an excuse to malign the entire Muslim world, as well as the religion of Islam, » Pakistan‘s representative Masood Khan said, speaking on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Conference.

The pressure to protect religions from defamation has been growing ever since a Danish magazine published caricatures of Muhammad, provoking riots across the Islamic world last year in which dozens of people were killed. The publication of a different caricature in a Swedish newspaper last month again led to protests from Muslims.

Islamic tradition forbids pictures of Muhammad, and Muslims claimed the caricatures were intended to insult their faith.

Diene said such caricatures were evidence that « the basic principle of coexistence of different cultures and different religions, which is the lasting basis for peace, is threatened now, » adding that « freedom of expression cannot be used as a pretext or excuse for incitement to racial or religious hatred. »

European Union members of the council and other countries cautioned against equating criticism of religion with racism.

« The EU finds it problematic to reconcile the notion of defamation with the concept of discrimination, » said Goncalo Silvestre of Portugal, who was speaking for the 27-nation bloc. « In our view these two are of a different nature. »

Religions in themselves do not deserve special protection under international human rights law, he said.

    10 pays sont cités, dont 3 pays occidentaux (30% des pays « inspectés »), Israel (10%… et que je n’ai pas mis dans mes stats « pays occidentaux », tant Israel est le mouton noir de l’ONU), les démocraties (Russie non comprise) représentent 50% des pays inspectés… 60% si l’on rajoute le Nigéria (c’est une démocrature à l’africaine…non ?)

    Ensuite, il y a un rapport sur la discrimination des musulmans en Birmanie ??? c’est pas tout le monde qui souffre là-bas ?
    Un rapport sur le respect de la diversité en Europe ??? (pas ailleurs ???)

    …et… (je trouve que c’est le meilleur…) un rapport sur la méchante liberté d’expression européenne qui ose caricaturer la religion du gentil momo… gentil momo qui par ailleurs, je le rappelle, explique dans son best seller comment créer des citoyens de 2nd zone (au mieux… l’appartheid parait presque rigolote à côté de la vie des dhimmis) ou bien comment les occire !!!

    Pas un seul rapport critique p/r aux pays musulmans face à leurs minorités religieuses (approx. 20% de la population mondiale) qui sont pourtant parmi les plus discriminants de la planète

    la Chine ? connait pas…

    Les autres rapports, dans les titres, paraissent presque crédibles

    Je pense avoir sorti tous les rapports de ce rapporteur spécial depuis la création de la soi-disante « nvlle commission des droits de l’homme » (autre sujet de plaisanterie en ce qui me concerne)

    Enfin bref…

    Décidemment, j’ai un grand problème avec cette institution
