Drawing distinctions

Thanks to Bookworm for highlighting activity at the United Nations yesterday.

Another way to think of one of the few achievements to which the United Nations can actually point, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is that all believers deserve respect. It is important to remember, however, that not all beliefs do.

My problem with governments that "see human rights exclusively in Islamic terms" is that such governments either ignore or deny the Christian underpinnings of any human rights discussion.

I find it exceedingly odd that Islamic countries pressing the United Nations to issue resolutions against "defamation of religions" see no disconnect between that and, for example, making it a criminal offense to possess a Bible or be anything other than Muslim.
