UN Human Rights Council to Investigate Racism in Saudi Arabia Iran Pakistan America......
What a pathetic, fucking joke....
GENEVA (Reuters) - A special U.N. human rights investigator will visit the United States this month to probe racism, an issue that has forced its way into the race to secure the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
The United Nations said Doudou Diene would meet federal and local officials, as well as lawmakers and judicial authorities during the May 19-June 6 visit.
"The special rapporteur will...gather first-hand information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," a U.N. statement said on Friday.
However, the United Nations has almost no clout when it comes to U.S. domestic affairs and is widely perceived by many as interfering. The United States is not among the 47 member states of the Geneva-based forum, but has observer status.
In a report last year he said Islamophobia had grown worldwide since the September 11 2001 attacks on the United States, carried out by al-Qaeda militants.

Scary if they ever get the clout.

"I want to ask you taht if your whole the family is dead in front of you what will be your reaction against the one doing so?"
Okay, Mo,... whatever.
This explains why Muslims kill Muslims, too? Or this somehow justifies targeting schools? Or how about hanging gays? Or drenching the children of those Muslims who side with the wrong side with gasoline before torching them? Or sending mentally handicapped people strapped with explosives into crowded markets? Or blowing women's brains out in the middle of a crowded sport stadium? Or how about denying women education, or the freedom to walk down the street? Or throwing them in jail to suffer God knows what for choosing NOT to walk around like a tent?
How do non-Muslims fare in Muslim lands? I'll give you a hint,... MUCH MUCH worse than the Muslims fare.
So, excuse me, genius, WHO is the worst violator of human rights around? Care to rethink that, Sherlock?
Idiot.

Daddy O,
Muslims in the West fare MUCH better than non Muslims in the Islamic world.

"so???????????????????????????"
Is that you gone off the deep end, TK?

Oh, Daddy-O! You convinced me. You should seriously consider running for office and get a Foreign Relations Committee post in the next elections, as your wisdom in international politics gives you such clout, such charisma, such insight into the minds of international terrorists.
By definition, a terrorist is anyone who uses terror (violence, psychological intimidation, fear and the like) to pursue his/her agenda. Hmmm, want to play "Who's the Terrorist" game and name one who fits the above description?
According to your flawless logic, Muslims who kill other Muslims are the worst human rights violators. Unless you are in the shoes of the victims, you have no business talking about the topic.
Playing the blame game doesn't help either, nor does calling names just because you disagree with their opinions.
Care to rethink what you wrote?

No, Muslims are the worse human violators period and its dictated by their unholy books.

...Sure. Al Qaida. Hamas. The Taliban. See a trend?
"According to your flawless logic, Muslims who kill other Muslims are the worst human rights violators. Unless you are in the shoes of the victims, you have no business talking about the topic."
...I'm not even sure what this means. So, unless I am in the shoes of the victims I have no business even talking about this? What? Good thing the Abolitionists didn't think that way.
"Care to rethink what you wrote?"
...Nope.
