From the International Civil Liberties Alliance:
The OIC which arguably represents the Islamic Ummah has been depicting itself as a shining beacon of human rights good practice. It claims to be a promoter of religious tolerance despite the extremely poor record of many of its own member states in this regard. It does this in order to exploit the laudable and morally correct desire of Western countries to be tolerant and inclusive. Multiculturalism is a word that is used to define and formalise this desire, though there is no precise legal definition of the term. In many ways, this lack of precision allows individuals to project their own ideas about the meaning onto the word and thus allows the politically unscrupulous playing by ‘Alinksey’s Rules’ to mislead the public.
Despite OIC rhetoric, the poor human rights record and poor record of religious tolerance of many OIC countries comes as no surprise to the intelligent and informed observer. The OIC admits in its own 1990 Cairo Declaration that all human rights are subject to sharia, and this of course would include freedom of religion. Article 24 of the Declaration clearly states:
“All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shari’ah.”
That is a huge get out clause to ensure that any actual human rights that are endorsed elsewhere in the document to deceive the stupid, are clearly and decisively abrogated.

Hi Pasto.
This kind of stuff should be advertised on every corner of the street that the whole world knows what and who we're dealing with.
Their strenght is our ignorance.
"Only the Educated are Free" !Epictetus, Discourses Roman (Greek-born) slave & Stoic philosopher (55 AD - 135 AD).
This means that there is freedom of speech and religion and expression except when there isn't. And in the Quran there isn't, so therefore there isn't, but when we talk we want to say there is, except when there isn't, which means there is.
