And there was little doubt who he was talking about

The head of the United Nations Human Rights Office challenged the rhetoric of Republian presidential contender Donald Trump in a speech Friday, saying he and other presidential candidates had resurrected the “ugly phantom of racial and religious division.”

In a reference to Trump, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, U.N. high commissioner for human rights, rued that “a front-running candidate to be President of this country declared, just a few months ago, his enthusiastic support for torture,” before condemning “hateful slander” leveled at foreigners.

When nobody's panties are in a bunch, you can be sure the people are getting screwed by elite gentlemen's agreements. A little consternation around the world about Trump reflects that ... honesty is afoot.

Whatever the others candidates' policies - like or unlike Trump's, Trump is the only one who created this new conversation that makes some 'gentlemen' uncomfortable.

““ugly phantom of racial and religious division.”
Translation: The Globalists are frightened and have sent me out to read this pre-written statement in the hope that it will help sway the US election away from any conservative.

Genocide against Christians is fine. Islamic terrorists bombing and killing innocent civilians is fine.

Interrogating terrorists to save the lives of innocent victims is terrible and an affront to human rights.

For a Muslim to call Trump or any Christian “hateful” for wanting to defend our families and communities is the sick and twisted rhetoric of today. These people hate Americans and hate Christians. Muslims have said many times that they want to kill Christians and enslave and rape our wives and children.

Muslims are currently doing exactly that in the middle east.

Like Barry Obama has done for nearly 8 years?

No "human rights" without "human obligations"


... like obeying the law, which illegal aliens AREN'T

... like condemning terrorism, which this guy seems to have forgotten is the main reason there's talk about Muslims


UN is always great at focussing on half the story

Oh my, anything coming from the U.N. is bound to be a farce, particularly a sanctimonious lecture such as this. Lemme guess, the Human Rights Commission with such paragons as Iran and China as its members really must be genuinely concerned about the U.S. election?

Meanwhile, those rascally Moslems are afoot in Turkey. I'm sure al Hussein will condemn that action any minute now...

Recep Tayyip Erdogan's administration recently seized six churches as state property in the volatile southeastern part of Turkey. As World Watch Monitor reports: "After 10 months of urban conflict in Turkey's war-torn southeast, the government has expropriated huge sections of property, apparently to rebuild and restore the historical centre of the region's largest city, Diyarbakir. But to the dismay of the city's handful of Christian congregations, this includes all its Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches. Unlike the state-funded mosques, Turkey's ancient church buildings -- some of which pre-date Islam -- have been managed, historically, by church foundations..."

Let the UN roar ever louder!
With a true American voted into office, all that real estate is looking quite tempting .

Maybe with all the need for security, and such, why not move the whole thing, lock stock and barrel, to Barstow, California, near Fort Irwin?

The Muzzies who run the UN are not happy with Mr. Trump. He has failed to kiss Muslim rings and fanny sufficiently. He even had the nerve to talk about Muzzies committing genocide against Christians in the Middle East.

The UN, an organization that once had a full-blown Nazi for Secretary General.
