Free Speech and Religion

Here are a couple of articles from September that I never got around to posting. The first details the unsuccessful attempt of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) to get the UN to pass a resolution banning "defamation of religion." The second is an interesting article on the general decline of free speech in the West due to a combination of self censorship and increasing state censorship.

Protectors of free speech speak out at last at UN
