The UN Human Rights Council Turns Its Back on Free Speech

He tore the sacred pages, wiped his shoes with them, and then set them ablaze, right outside a mosque. His actions were a shockwave that rippled through the Muslim world. .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{ -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); } Sign Up To Keep Reading This post is for Reclaim The Net supporters.
