Question by majordun: Is it true that Muslims almost always reject criticism of Islam?
11/21/10 VOA: The U.N. General Assembly committee that deals with human rights issues has adopted a resolution condemning widespread human rights abuses in Iran. The resolution was drafted by Canada and co-sponsored by 42 other countries. Canadian U.N. Ambassador John McNee, said, “The members of this committee cannot ignore Iran’s continued human rights violations: stonings, torture, flogging, amputations, executions of juveniles, executions by strangulation, continuing discrimination against women and minorities, and a persistent failure to uphold due process. Mr. Chair, these violations continue and continue to worsen.”

The response from Iranian human rights chief Mohammad Javad Larijani Larijani was predictable: “Let me make it quite clear that the United States of America is the mastermind and the main provocateur, and as far as the substance is concerned this text does not have anything to do with human rights and its promotion.” Isn’t that the standard response when anyone criticizes Islam? “You’re discriminating against us because we’re Muslims!”

The vote was 80 in favor, 44 against and 57 abstentions. The Organization of the Islamic Conference includes all Muslim nations: there are 57 members. Hmmm.
