Oh THAT freedom of expression

http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/1224

'Fifty-seven Muslim governments are pressing to include a “ban on the mocking of religions” in a new U.N. human rights body by pushing a resolution under the agenda item “Racism” condemning what they called the “Defamation of Islam.” In a clear reference to the Muhammad cartoons controversy, the proposal stated that “defamation of religions and prophets is inconsistent with the right to freedom of expression.”'

And there was me thinking that freedom of expression meant a freedom to express things I want to express...
