Must not criticize Sharia law
Not at the United Nations Human Rights Council anyway:
"David Littman, reading a joint declaration by two NGOs, the Association for World Education and the International Humanist and Ethical Union, had highlighted the plight of women in countries which apply Sharia law, including the death penalty by stoning for alleged adultery.
His words sparked a furious response from Arab and Islamic members of the council, with Egyptian ambassador Amr Roshdy declaring: "Islam won't be crucified before this Council".
The chair intervened to say that "this Council is not prepared to discuss religious matters in depth," and warned Littman he would be interrupted should he try to raise the issue again.

Mention of human rights for women is just too threatening, it would seem.

How quaint: "Islam won't be crucified ... ."
No, it'll be damned to hell
Muslims are using the exact same tactics as Western Liberals. Anything they don't like gets shouted down using the "racist" trump card and what really astounds me is that the supposidly educated Western Liberals buy into that!
I guess appeasement is easier than standing up to tyrants.
What a lovely world it's going to be in another 20-years.
Thank God I've almost completed my 3-score and 10 so I'll miss all the action.
If only we could create a place for the people arranging this horrible future to live, away from the rest of us.
The UN worthless.
