Tussle mounts over Muslim-backed resolution

Oct 27, 2009

A grassroots movement calling for the defeat of a U.N. resolution is gaining momentum.


The United Nations will soon introduce a "defamation of religions" resolution that many believe will undermine religious liberty and personal safety of Christians and other faith groups. The resolution -- driven by the Organisation of The Islamic Conference, an association of 56 Islamic states promoting Muslim solidarity -- would criminalize words or actions that could be deemed to be against a particular religion.

Open Doors USA is spearheading a movement to defeat the resolution, which has been introduced every year since 1999 at the U.N. by the group of Islamic countries.
