The United Nations and European Union have reached agreement to issue a joint statement condemning cartoon "insults to Islam" that were first published in a Danish newspaper and have been widely reprinted recently, resulting in a rash of violence throughout the Muslim world.

According to a report in WAM, the United Arab Emirates news agency, the agreement is the work of Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Conference.

The agreement, according to Ihsanoglu, will mean a formal rebuke by the U.N. and EU of the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten for publishing the offensive cartoons.

The statement, he added, stresses that divine religions and religious symbols must be respected, and that freedom of speech must not be taken so far as to desecrate religions.

"The statement also calls for renouncing all forms of violence," he said, according to WAM. MORE

Will the West accede to this demand?

"Nasrallah said there would be no compromise before Denmark apologizes and the European Parliament and individual assemblies in Europe pass laws that prohibit insulting the Prophet."

Will the West accept Dhimmitude?

Well, since the Islamofascists have no trouble shredding Bibles (in Saudi Arabia), making racist pictures of Jews, and blowing up centuries-old statues of Buddha, my response is that they can take their complaints and go sodomize themselves. Now here's my apology to the United Nations:
