Oral Statement by Sultan Shahin, Editor, New Age Islam
On behalf of World Environment and Resources Council (WERC)

Mr. President,
We Muslims of the
world, at least our governments, have been bludgeoning the United
Nations since 1999 in our bid to protect Islam from defamation. But
aren’t the states that claim to speak for Muslims the worst defamers of
Islam themselves?
Linking Islam with
terrorism is considered defaming Islam. One would assume that Muslim
countries would first prohibit defamation of Islam by ideologies of
terror in their own countries. However, the case is quite the opposite.
It is media outlets refuting the Islamist terrorist ideologies that are
banned, as was a website called New Age Islam a couple of months ago in
Pakistan.
