This week’s award goes to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The UNHRC has taken a 180 degree change in charter from being the watchdog of governments and protecting the human rights of individuals, to limiting the free speech and becoming what Orwell called the "Ministry of Thought".

Egypt and Pakistan proposed a measure to the 47 nation member council (heavily populated - need I add? - by Arab and Muslim countries) that directs the councils expert on free speech to investigate individuals and new organizations for negative comments on Islam.

Western countries have criticized the reversal for the expert - Ambeyi Ligabo of Kenya - who used to make reports to the UNHRC on what governments and tyrants did to curtail and otherwise restrict free speech. His job now, is to report to the UNHRC when regular folks (like you and I) and the media (like CNN and FOXNews) make disparaging remarks about the beloved "Religion of Peace".

The measure passed 32-0 because the wussie western countries on the UNHRC abstained instead of voting against it - the US is not on the UNHRC - but those freedom of speech hating loving Canadians are. I’ve discussed what a dire state free speech is in for our beloved friends up north, so their abstaining doesn’t really surprise me. They couldn’t vote for it and still pretend to be true believers in free speech, but they couldn’t vote against it, since they are trying to do the same damn thing back home. The UNHRC has also adopted a separate resolution urging countries to enact laws that would specifically protect Muslims and Islam from criticism. I guess Jews are still fair game with their lot though.

It looks like the only folks who actually like this crappy measure are those freedom loving, woman hating, child raping, beheading, peacenicks from the "Religion of Peace." I have to say, I have seen more hatred and filth and vilification spew from the mouths of Muslims, than I have every heard from any other group of people. I wonder if the UNHRC will sanction the "president" of Iran for his remarks against the Jews? Nah, because the Jews are fair game. The only religion that cannot be criticized is Islam.

I have never thought the UN was anything but bad. I have never felt they could do anything at all. Their peacekeepers don’t, their humanitarian workers are corrupt criminals, they were neck need in the Iraqi oil thieving scandal, all the way up to the frakcing top! And yet nothing happens. They have no teeth. They have no jurisdiction anywhere really. It’s a giant farce and humongous waste of money.

Frakcing UN.

Stumble it!

This, I wasn’t expecting. Sure, Google removes from their news-feeds nearly anything critical of the ‘do no evil’ company, and sure they remove from their news-feeds most things that are overtly, and blatantly critical of Islam and/or Muslims in general, but I didn’t expect the company that is, for many, the de-facto registrar of domains in the world to begin a political correctness campaign.

For those that have been in and around the Internet business for more than 6 or 7 years, they’ll remember ‘way back when’ domain names cost upwards of $70 a year, and there was only one place to get them. That place was Network Solutions. Now, in a bold move of appeasement and a grandiose gesture of dhimmitudeness, the great NetSol has suspended the web-site for Geert Wilder’s 15 minute movie. They claim it may violate their terms of service (I am assuming regarding hate speech or incitement to violence or some other such nonsense). Seems many people have complained about the site. I can’t really figure out why. The site consisted of the following:

The site formerly showed the film’s title, "Fitna" ("Coming Soon"), and an image of a gilded Koran.

Now, I fail to see how a site with a movie title and a picture of a Koran could, by any sane and marginally reasonable person, possibly violate the NetSol TOS. Perhaps it does. Perhaps NetSol has a clause in there about not showing a picture of the Koran, or not using foreign language to depict the words "Coming Soon". More realistically, I think, is that the NetSol blue-suits are scared, scared for their lives, and the reactions from the "Religion of Peace" followers if they left it up. It was these self-same, diversity spouting peaceful Muslims after all, that caused so much chaos and mayhem last year with the publishing of the now infamous Mo’ Toons.

It is a sad day when an old (by Internet standards anyway), well established and nearly house-hold name company like Network Solutions sells out in this way. If they were looking to not offend people, they have failed. I know I, or one, am greatly offended at this action. I am hoping and praying that Wilder finds another host for his site, and that 1) his movie does get distributed, and 2) it is translated into English (or at least sub-titled) so I can view it and understand it.

For their kow-towing and obvious subservience to the Islamic Supremacists, I am awarding Network Solutions the honorable "Dhimmi Of The Week" award. Congrats guys! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your groin, and you’re business go down the tubes faster than Spitzer’s career.
