This may seem dry, but what's happening here is very important.
Saudi Arabia is trying to defend it's assumed, self-given right to force it's religion on everyone and punish all that don't convert, even atheists by punishment of corporal punishment -- which is in direct opposition to the Human Right's Council's mandate.
The USA, France and Canada stands up for the speaker to defend their right to speak on this subject.

This is the diplomat version of "la la la I can't hear you!"

I'll admit I'm surprised and gratified that the U.S. was willing to take the lead in contradicting their good ally Saudi Arabia.

lol, france wants to be different On a serious note, this is just a beginning when countries move deeper back in to their religious pasts. Religion as a whole is on a downslope in the west and this will lead to extremism backlash. he fact that religion is still the primary rule in middle east, the information era in these countries is reaching breakout point, it comes from the west and thus it looks like an attack against their religion.

What they don't realize is that it's over all ready. Information is virulent, it spreads and it wants to be free. It is uncontrollable and for religions that ideologically depends on manipulation and blocking of certain parts of it, will fail. For Islam, it means huge changes, much like Christianity had but in much smaller timeframe: we are looking at deeply ingrained theologies to shift almost 180 degrees in a matter of years. It will be a bloodshed at some point unless we give them more time (which means that we have to divide in order to unite, we have to divide the world in two factions, religious and non-religious..).. Forcing anything to happen creates a lot of pain.
