An inside look at the UN's new "defamation of religion" resolution

During the last two weeks in March, I participated in the negotiations over the new UN Human Rights Council resolution combating "defamation of religions."  I just published some of my impressions at Religion Dispatches.

I especially like your argument that combating the defamation of religion ultimately combats religion. Such polemical jiujitsu reminds me of G. K. Chesteron's defense when he was accused of making a mountain out of a molehill: "It is no small task to make a mountain out of a molehill."

p.s. Chesterton, of course, not Chesteron. Sorry.
