Hah! The power of myth! Religious absolutism is the slipperiest material on Earth. It’s like trying to pin down a drop of mercury. They always have an out because it’s all fiction and they can make up as they go.
Wow! Gotta love that second paragraph in the OIC statement.
Spoing!
“You’re too judgmental!”
“Really?” “I’ll be the judge of that.”
Another take on this:

Saudis:
– WHAT?!! What is she saying?!

“should not, be based on a single and centric perspective that seeks to remake the world in its own image; and conform all according to its convictions”
Damn there goes another irony meter launching it’s internal parts into orbit
Wo! I’m writing my currently-due column for Free Inquiry on THIS VERY SUBJECT.
What a joke, isn’t it? “rich and varied ethical standards” oh fuck OFF.
I look forward to reading that, Ophelia. It’s almost beyond belief how disingenuous SA and the OIC are being.
“We are culturally relativist theocrats!! Also two-legged quadrupeds!!”
Who is the one to judge
The imams, of course, with a grudge
Quotes form the Qur’an the moan
While sinners they stone
Their enlightenment is a dirty smudge.
Oh I see! The OIC is a one-way window on the wicked western world.
Irony? Hypocrisy? Huh? More western blather and deflection by the morally bankrupt infidel!
Taqiyya

We only lie to you in your best interest.
But we do lie. TAQIYYA
Thank the Gods for Google and Wikipedia… would never have understood without 🙂
In the context of a self-serving statement from a totalitarian theocrat, there is something very chilling about the phrase “diverse social norms”.

a good description of the quran Neil98
and for context read con-text
If I hadn’t double checked the URL I would have thought this was an article on The Onion!
The OIC stressed that the world community, with its multiple cultures, diverse social norms, rich and varied ethical standards and different institutional structures, can not, and should not, be based on a single and centric perspective that seeks to remake the world in its own image; and conform all according to its convictions, references, historical background and philosophical, social and political roots.
No problem. I too believe that Islam can not and should not remake the world in its own image; and conform all according to its convictions, references, historical background and philosophical, social and political roots.
What prestigious Western PR firm is running their media campaign? Should we tell the OIC that they are being taken for an expensive ride?
Should we tell the OIC …
What? And lose all the profit?
I have just been listening the BBC Radio 4 ‘Saffron Censorship: India’s Culture Wars http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nt2bx . Maybe J&M could develop into a bit of a ménage a trois with the arrival of a Hindu lodger?
Should we tell the OIC …
What? And lose all the prophet?
yes
a Hindu lodger?
just one ?
one for each hindu deity surely?
