I was reading through my RSS feeds tonight and I came across a frightening warning posted by Dr. James White on his blog. I think its very interesting how a movie like Bill Maher's new movies, Religulous, can make fun of Christians and religious beliefs and doctrines without any challenge but its human rights abuse to honestly express what the Bible teaches verses what Muslims teach and believe. We can both be wrong as Maher asserts without proof, but we both can't be right. We can't allow the dialog to be censored or silenced. The Gospel is being preached...yes even on YouTube....and people's lives are being touched by Christ. This must continue. I have pasted Dr. White's comments below and hyperlinked it twice (yes, its that important). Please read them.
How Long Will We Be Able to Openly Speak the Truth About Islam?
10/04/2008 - James White
KUWAIT CITY : Kuwait Human Rights Society (KHRS) Chairman Dr Adel Al-Damkhi has asked the government to put pressure on the officials of ‘YouTube’ — a video sharing website — to delete all derogatory statements about Islam and Muslims from the site, reports Al-Seyassah.
Urging the authorities to take the necessary legal action in case the website fails to erase the statements, Al-Damkhi stressed “uttering profanities against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the worst form of human rights violation in the world. Attacks on the values and tenets of Islam are extremely dangerous and unacceptable.”
Al-Damkhi pointed out the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) strongly condemns attacks on the holy prophets and religions. He confirmed KHRS recognizes the importance of freedom of conducting scientific research, exchange of information, and significance of the latest technologies and media on human lives, but it is against how ‘YouTube’ depicts Islam. He said this is an outright violation of the human rights of millions of Muslims all over the world.
