[quote]Saudi Arabia has called on the international community to ban all criticism of religion. At a July 25 symposium on media coverage of religious symbols in international law, Abdulmajeed Al-Omari, director for external relations at the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, said: “We have made it clear that freedom of expression without limits or restrictions would lead to violation and abuse of religious and ideological rights. This requires everyone to intensify efforts to criminalize insulting heavenly religions, prophets, holy books, religious symbols and places of worship.” [B]He argued these steps must be taken to prevent intolerance.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/saudi-arabia-calls-world-ban-criticism-religion[/url]
Good luck with that.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;48358006]Good luck with that.[/QUOTE] What I was about to say
I much prefer my near total freedom of speech, thank you.
"Preventing intolerance" by being intolerant. Sure, I can't see any paradoxical logic flaws in that at all.
Coming from a country that criminalizes irreligion. Good joke.
Next on the agenda, freedom of speech calls for worldwide ban on Saudi Arabia. “We have made it clear that lack of freedom of expression would lead to violation and abuse of human rights. This requires everyone to intensify efforts to criminalize censorship of discussion of heavenly religions, prophets, holy books, religious symbols and places of worship.” See how easy that turns against you, Al-Omari?

Yeah it's not happening. Unless they have secret connections to city-destroying eldritch abominations, they have no power.
Freedom of speech does not exist to protect their feelings nor is there a right not to be offended. They can take their stone age "if it offends me i want it banned" mentality and go home.

Preventing intolerance (yeah right) through censorship is an oxymoron.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48358754]Not sure if just me or that makes no sense. What does the world mean in this context?[/QUOTE] The Worldwide International Community.
You might be surprised by just how many Western progressives would actually support something like this.
it's hilarious to hear an Islamic leader saying this considering islam sort of has an extensive history of destroying the fuck out of any other religions they find in the lands they take over

To give a nonstandard example, the Muslim invasions of Persia and later India led to an extreme loss of life and considerable damage to the native religions.

If Muslims and Christians have skeletons in their closets for the invasions and wars conducted by them, than Atheists have skeletons in their closets for the massacres conducted by the USSR. The reason why those religions suffered under Muslim rule was because due to [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jizya"]Jizya[/URL] which made many people convert to avoid it.
[QUOTE=Fayez;48359574]Citation needed.[/QUOTE] Beyond what Sobotnik said, Muhammad also destroyed all the other idols in Mecca when he occupied the city, though I am not sure if the actual followers of the religions were persecuted.
[QUOTE=Fayez;48359574]Citation needed.[/QUOTE] The Quran basically tells people to fight unbelievers until they are converted. My knowledge of the Quran is very shallow and maybe there's a second meaning to this, but there's two or three instances that I see people quoting often. [url]http://quran.com/8/39[/url] [url]http://quran.com/9/29[/url] To be fair, destroying the local culture and religion is pretty much what most empires did back then.
This is like the one kid on the playground who declares that his shoes are lava proof and he has an auto win spell.
