So here is my entry.

I posted a short message about the UN trying to outlaw blasphemy a little while back.
Well, now Pat Condell has covered this subject in a video.
Imagine sometime in the future someone manages to invent a time-machine, and then uses it to take herself, and a few modern, everyday devices back 2000 years or so. What would be the reaction of the local humans to such things as a gas-lighter, a motorbike, a walkie-talkie, or even a gun?
Here in the UK our ancient and unused anti blasphemy laws were repealed last year. That was great news for sure.
Now however, the UN is seeking to impose its own Blasphemy laws on all member states. The resolution was tabled by various Muslim states, but also supported by several Christian groups. This is in direct contravention of the UNs own Declaration of Human Rights, in addition to violating the explicit freedom of speech laws already in existence in many countries.
It should be noted that it appears that the majority of supporting countries are not democracies, nor are they ones that are necessarily that hot on human freedoms.
