It's called Durban II and the UN Human Rights Council will have it's conference in Geneva in 2009.
The draft declaration recommends that local, national and international
laws and human rights covenants be reviewed and amended as necessary so
that "defamation of Islam" is made a criminal offense, losing the
protection it has long enjoyed under the "pretext" of "freedom of
expression, counter terrorism or national security". It recommends that
legal instruments be established to punish offenders -- that is, those
who "defame" Islam by associating it with violence, human rights abuses
or terrorism.
"The resolution, circulated by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, representing more than 50 Muslim nations, is perversely being advanced under the guise of protecting human rights. In its current form, the resolution would declare defamation of religion to be a violation of international law. The resolution’s drafters hope to circumvent national constitutional protections for freedom of speech, including the United States’ own First Amendment, by superseding international law. If the resolution is ultimately adopted, the effort to ban speech defamatory of religion will be a centerpiece of an upcoming U.N. conference against racism, the so-called Durban II meeting, to be held in Geneva next spring."

I think it's time for Christians to burn and pillage cities in protest to all the Jesus cartoons I see. While we're add it, we'll ban products from countries that produce satirical caricatures of Jesus and let our women scream HAAHAHAHAHAALALLALALALALAL.downhill wrote:That's a mighty nice Christian answer.
At least in comparison to Buddha and Allah, Jesus looks like a cool looking surfer that's speaks very good English - I know he does since I've seen the movies.
