Is any criticism of Islam or the prophet a fair game as per your interpretation of those positions?

It is legally fair game, yes. The resolution makes no restriction on speech, and specifically calls out the importance of freedom of expression.

As I said, the only concrete obligation in the resolution is prohibiting discrimination. Speech is not discrimination, and the Human Rights Council has never claimed that it is.

Thanks. I will adjust my understanding of this point.
