“The United Arab Emirates and the Maldives together thwarted a Pakistani attempt to set up an informal group of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) envoys at the United Nations on Islamophobia.”
However, they did this not because they believe in the freedom of speech or reject the “Islamophobia” propaganda initiative, but because they believe that the OIC, not Pakistan alone, should set up such groups.
Whether or not this initiative ever gets off the ground, soon Pakistan and the OIC won’t have to worry about “Islamophobia,” i.e. criticism of Islamic jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, in the West, because Western countries, including the United States, are busy throwing away the freedom of speech with both hands.
“Pakistani bid to form group of OIC envoys at UN foiled,” by Baqir Sajjad Syed, Dawn, May 27, 2020 (thanks to Lookmann):
ISLAMABAD: The United Arab Emirates and the Maldives together thwarted a Pakistani attempt to set up an informal group of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) envoys at the United Nations on Islamophobia.
A senior diplomatic source told Dawn that Pakistan’s permanent representative at the United Nations Munir Akram highlighted the issue of Islamophobia at a recent virtual meeting of the envoys of OIC member countries at the UN.
It was a routine meeting of the envoys of OIC countries, which discussed other issues as well.
The Pakistan envoy specifically highlighted the plight of the Muslims in India and the people of occupied Kashmir, who are suffering at the hands of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
He told the meeting that Islamophobia in India had become more pronounced during the Covid-19 pandemic and recalled the actions taken by Modi government to change demography of occupied Kashmir by allowing non-Kashmiris to take up permanent residence in the valley.
Amb Akram cautioned the OIC members against being deceived by India.
He called for setting up of a group of OIC countries to consider joint actions for countering Islamophobia.
Maldivian envoy Thilmeeza Hussain, according to Maldivian media, rejected “singling out of India” and said accusing Delhi of Islamophobia would be factually incorrect and detrimental to religious harmony is South Asia.
The UAE envoy, who was chairing the meeting, meanwhile, rejected Pakistani request for an informal group on Islamophobia saying it was the mandate of the OIC foreign ministers to constitute such groups….

JW readers must watch… The hatred that the Palestinians have for Israel is evenly matched by the hatred that Pak has for India… The hatred of the Jews and the hatred of the Hindus for these mad animals..
Quazgaa says
Pakistan has all the reasons to hate India. While the latter evolves, the former is more backwards by the day, setting new lows in human bestiality.
Not to mention Pakistan got royally creamed by India..twice!
Stay safe.

DOUBLE STANDARDS from one the world’s biggest HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS … the discriminatory ISLAMIST REPUBLIC of PAKISTAN !!!
Pakistan has monumental, gigantic problem with KAFIR-O-PHOBIA. Hundreds of religious minorities (also called ‘THE DIRTY KUFAAR’) are MURDERED, BURNT OUT, ROBBED, BEAT UP and RAPED every year in Pakistan and the perpetrators often get away with it.
Furthermore, mullahs PREACH hatred against the KUFAAR in the mosques every week. Vulnerable little minds learn to hate the KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’ in the madrassahs and the government does nothing to stop it.
DISCRIMINATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN PAKISTAN
-Pakistan is known for widespread discrimination against religious minorities, with
attacks against Christians, Hindus, Ahmadiyya, Shia, Sufi and Sikh communities being
widespread. Certain laws in the Pakistan Criminal Code, and government inaction have only
caused these attacks to surge higher.
Sunni militant groups operate with impunity across Pakistan, as law enforcement officials
either turn a blind eye or appear helpless to prevent widespread attacks against religious
minorities
-Because of Pakistan’s continual human rights violations year after year, Pakistan was recommended by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in May 2006 to be designated as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) by the Department of State
-Several minority Muslim communities, such as the Ahmadiyya have been attacked in pogroms
in Pakistan over the years
-According to a study carried out in 2009 by Human Rights Watch, it is estimated that
between 70 and 90 percent of women and girls in Pakistan have suffered some form of
abuse.[43] An estimated 5000 women are killed per year from domestic violence, with
thousands of others maimed or disabled
-In 2010, Foreign Policy ranked Pakistan as number ten on its Failed States Index, placing
it in the “critical” category
-Pakistan consistently figures near the top of the list of failed states year after year
-As of 2018, the Pakistani state was using Islamist militants to crush Balochi separatists. Academics and journalists in the United States have been approached by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spies, who threatened them not to speak about the insurgency in Balochistan, as well as human rights abuses by the Pakistani Army or else their family would be harmed
-Freedom House rated Pakistan as “Not Free” in its report of 2013 and gave it a score of
64 (on a scale of 0–100

That low???????

That high? No-one has ANY rights in Pakistan except the Imams, the rabid Muslime mobs, and those rich enough to flee Pakistan!

I have been saying this for ten years now: 350 Muslims inside your borders is not survivable. The partition is not enough for islam: they want it all as per the koran. I wish the world and Israel especially would learn.

There are about 180 million Muslims in India–about 13% of the population. A Muslim population at this level is often very violent, as is the case in India.
Keys says
Once again, the promoters of “Islamophobia” are obstinately oblivious to the obvious confounding concern.
What about Islam makes it necessary to address universal “Islamophobia” while there is no need to address Christian-phobia, Buhddism-phobia, Sikh-phobia, Hindu-phobia, Shinto-phobia, Atheism-phobia, AnyOtherReligion-phobia ?
Why is the word ‘Islamophobia’ now recently found in Dictionaries, but no other ‘religion phobias’ listed ?

The truth about Mohammad, Islam, and the jihadi agenda is troubling indeed.

Pakistan’s bid to set up group on “Islamophobia” at United Nations foiled
…………………….
Well,.this is good–even if it is only because United Arab Emirates and the Maldives want in on the action.
That Pakistan is pushing this claptrap while persecuting non-Muslims there is the height of perversity.

Pakistan -Axis of Evil.
Ask yourself how and why was Pakistan created?

“The Pakistan envoy specifically highlighted the plight of the Muslims in India and the people of occupied Kashmir, who are suffering at the hands of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.”
Indian Muslims have a better life/rights than Muslims in Muslim Majority countries.
OLD GUY says
Oh yes lets get the U.N. to standup for the false claim of islamophobia. The U.N. needs to take a hard look at what it stands up for and avoid the false claims made by Islam. The U.N.should be working to provide freedom to all men and women in the world and not to work for dictatorships that discourage freedom.
phyllis says
the UN should be abolished; they serve no purpose other than to appease the muslim countries; what good do they do, if any??
