U.N. Global Blasphemy Resolution--A Warning

Lindsey Vessey is the Advocacy Program Manager for Open Doors U.S.A.

This first half of this edition of Crosstalk looks at the United Nations "Defamation of Religions"resolution. This non-binding resolution, sponsored by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), seeks to criminalize words or actions that are considered to be offensive to those of other religions, namely Islam.

If passed, this resolution would have major implications for those who share the gospel, especially in countries where Christians are already marginalized.

During the second half of the program, Vic also encouraged listeners to comment on the battle between the White House and Fox News, as well as a story on the abolishing of the concept of marriage.
