GENEVA, June 16 (Reuters) - Muslim states said on Wednesday that what they call "islamophobia" is sweeping the West and its media and demanded that the United Nations take tougher action against it.Delegates from Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Egypt, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that treatment of Muslims in Western countries amounted to racism and discrimination and must be fought.

As opposed to Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Egypt, where religious minorities enjoy equality and tolerance, right?

"People of Arab origin face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalisation," an Egyptian delegate said, according to a U.N. summary.And Pakistan, speaking for the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said the council's special investigator into religious freedom should look into such racism "especially in Western societies".

Acting for the OIC, Pakistan has tabled a resolution at the council instructing its special investigator on religious freedom "to work closely with mass media organisations to ensure that they create and promote an atmosphere of respect and tolerance for religious and cultural diversity".

Pakistan. Where apostates from Islam are put to death. The chutzpah of the Pakis is amazing, more hypocritical than any one else on earth! Go here to read how they screw their minorities.

Diplomats say the resolution, which also tells the investigator to make recommendations to the Human Rights Council on how its strictures might be implemented, is bound to pass given the majority the OIC and its allies have in the body.

Name me one country in the OIC out of 57 countries which treats it's minorities equally, guess the answer will be zilch, pleez, hold your breath, don't even think of shooting from the hip. More... Hat tip: More...
