OIC: A "deplorable act of incitement"

So says the Secretary-General of our new friends over at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, with regard to the burning of the Quran by the US forces in Afghanistan. Even after the profuse apologies that said it was a mistake, he called it a provocative act.

According to Fars News Agency:
In a statement on Thursday, Ihsanoglu described the incident as a "deplorable act of incitement", and said that the act runs "contrary to the common efforts of the OIC and that of the international community …to combat intolerance, and incitement to hatred based on religion and belief."
When the Human Rights Council resumes in March, we can bet this "incitement" will be used by the OIC to conflate in its drive against freedom of speech, expression, and conscience, soon arriving at your door.

Imagine what they would say if we were not friends.

    I look forward to the first time the OIC ever applies their principles of 'justice' universally.

      I think not, though I understand what you are trying to say.

      If ever they were successful, it would mean that we all live under Sharia, and I hope that never happens. What a depressing world that would be.

      Appreciate the input. Feel free to drop by whenever.

      Yeah, I was being sarcastic. I don't look forward to it at all... ;)

      I find it hard to believe how docile many states are in the face of what the OIC openly proposes, but it's a reality.

      Well yeah, but if one raises a fuss about that, it makes one a "racist" or something, so I guess that's what it's all about...

      And btw - any chance comments here can be made without having to prove that one isn't a robot, btw?

      I think it also has to do with oil and the fear of violence directed to these states.

      Let me know if the comments are easier to make now.

    Testing...

    Nope, still have to prove I'm not a robot. That's okay, don't worry about it. ;)
