  1. 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.

  5. “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

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  14. Thank the Gods for Google and Wikipedia… would never have understood without 🙂

  15. In the context of a self-serving statement from a totalitarian theocrat, there is something very chilling about the phrase “diverse social norms”.

  16. the context of a self-serving statement from a totalitarian theocrat.
    a good description of the quran Neil98

  18. If I hadn’t double checked the URL I would have thought this was an article on The Onion!

  19. 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?
