This defies western logic, but not the agenda of the OIC-driven, sharia compliant UN. Saudi Arabia, where a 32-year-old woman is jailed for disobeying her father, where a pregnant gang-rape victim is sentenced to 100 lashes for committing adultery, where women are not allowed to drive, where women are lashed for being in the company of any male who is not a relative, where a 75-year-old could be flogged for breaching sex segregation rules, where a Saudi father weds his daughter, 10, to an 80-year-old pervert: "according to the shari'a his marriage is legal as long as the girl's father consents," where a child bride is turned back over to her 80-year-old husband........... must I go on?
And yet Obama continues to advance international law (the sharia) while reliquishing American sovereignty.
"Rights groups condemn election of Saudi Arabia to UN's new women's rights agency, laud defeat of Iran UNwatch.org
"New York, November 10, 2010 Human rights groups condemned today's election of Saudi Arabia to the governing board of the UN's new women's rights agency.
"It's morally perverse to reward a country that lashes rape victims, and that systematically subjugates women in every walk of life, with the power to negatively influence the global protection of women's rights," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch, who is currently visiting New York to monitor today's vote.
UN Watch organized a worldwide internet campaign to mobilize public opinion against the candidacies of Iran and Saudi Arabia: www.facebook.com/stopiran. The non-governmental human rights group lauded the democratic governments who pushed to defeat Iran, but Neuer expressed "deep regret that there has been complete silence on the offensive election of the fundamentalist and misogynist regime in Riyadh. The realpolitik of oil should never justify actions that legitimize the discrimination of women."
Okay, that’s it, I’ll believe anything from the UN now. Tell me Iran is in charge of a UN panel to eliminate the death penalty, or North Korea is in charge of a panel about freedom of speech, and I’ll believe it.
BTW, Iran got a seat on this womens’ rights board back in May.
I thought this was going to be from “The Onion” or maybe a John Semmens article.
John, it’s time to find a new line of work. Reality has put satire out of business.
The song Harper Valley PTA comes to mind.
The fight is almost over. 385 countries against 6 or 10. I’m surprised we lasted this long.
They aren't countries. They are infestations. Spraying commences shortly, I believe.
Years ago I owned 50% in a AT-400 crop duster. Not expecting a profit, I was helping a friend get started in business. He did quite well.
I thought this was satire. But nope, it isn’t.
Alice’s rabbit hole is getting crowded . . .
crammed down there are the globalists and other liberal idiots . . . the Vatican . . .
Incredible.
That was some stoning.
