European Union Human Rights Council

Insulting Allah is really a bigger problem than hanging human beings?
The Human Rights Council of the UN this morning adopted a resolution on combating defamation of religions. The European Union and Canada voted against the resolution, but because of the majority of Muslim countries in the Council, the resolution that urged states to take adequate actions against religious hatred, was accepted.
This question is not intended to bash Islam. I can honestly see that freedom of speech has limits. My freedom ends where other people’s freedom starts.
But I fail to see the priority of this particular resolution. In some Muslim countries people are still being hung, for the simple reason that they are gay. What’s wrong with our planet if an international Human Rights Council has ‘insulting some gods’ higher on their list of priorities than the injust hanging of human beings?
I’m a muslim and i’m not offended when somebody insults Allah. In fact I pity the person because all that they have done is hurt themselves.
As for the UN issue-its not like the only thing the UN did today was pass this resolution. And i don’t see how its a bad thing. it didn’t pinpoint muslims only and it protects everyone. in fact if you really think about it it could be applied to muslim countries where other religions are oppressed. Right?
but perhaps you have an issue with us muslims being respected in your country???
