It's an interesting point....not only what counts as defaming a religion but what constitutes a religion? What are the criteria? Why couldn't free speech be a religion? Then you'd have a conflict of interest blasphemy wise. What if you said that you were establishing a religion that worshipped canned spaghettios and others followed this religion then would anyone who insulted speghettios or those who worshipped them be guilty of blasphemy?

He's asking you to boycott the conference in Geneva. There's actually going to be a conference about this? :roll:

Islam always whines about religious tolerance but are they tolerance to others religions? nope. Islam is nothing but savage religion that copycated two other horrible religions. Pat as usual is right on the money and this makes people mad
