the Obama Administration has its way, the 1st Amendment will be subject to review by the United Nations.
The UN is pushing member nations to adopt something they call UN resolution 16/18. This is a resolution- proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is made up of 56 Islamic states- which would criminalize "hate speech" targeting Muslims.

Hate speech is any CRITICISM.

Lovely. 56 Islamic nations have drafted a proposal that would make blasphemous speech (as defined by Muslims) illegal, and the American President supports this notion.
Let's note the Left's hypocrisy on this, since they would never dream of trying to criminalize speech that Christians or Jews might deem blasphemous. If any other President supported such a measure, we would all assume he'd been drugged and brainwashed. With Obama, it's par for the course.
The ostensible purpose of the measure is to outlaw speech which constitutes incitement of violence based on religion, race, or nationality. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, yeah, except violence is already illegal, and conspiracy to commit violence- meaning one person talks to another and then they together commit an act of violence- is also already illegal.
Particularly troubling is the fact that this law wouldn't in any way inhibit Arab nations from teaching school children that Jews are evil and must be destroyed, or that America is the Great Satan, because they teach things as fact the same way American schools teach 1 plus 1 equals 2. Only Western style democracies will find themselves affected.
