I'd like to see what their exact definition of "blasphemy" is, since I can easily see someone aiming to get arrested for every possible variation, just to prove the point.

This is from the people that brought you the Durban Resolution.
I am in no way surprised.

No need to get worried, the General Assembly comes up with this sort of idiocy every so often. Everyone ignores them and goes back to work.

The UN comes up with this kind of idiocy every now and again. It's a natural biproduct of allowing countries like Libya on human rights committee and so forth. It's what happens when you have a structure that considers backwards, corrupt dictatorships with their hands stained with blood of countless innocents to be the equal of say Norway.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

Oh I know it will go nowhere. This is the UN. The idea of it is still enough to piss me off though.
