This one line from Adeys post sums it all up "attempt to misuse the U.N. to legitimize blasphemy laws, thereby restricting freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press"
EMC-12 - what are you ranting on about? hindus and buddhists who come here are not asking for any religious freedoms. The ones who come here are ready to compromise on their beliefs, and faith doesn't feature in a big way in their day to day living. As you rightly said, people with strong religious feelings do not come here at all in the first place. This discussion is about the hypocrisy of calling out for religious tolerance, and not about expats coming here and whinging about intolerance. Bottom line being, we don't really care, but when we read statements like this we like to shout hypocrite and have a good laugh.
