57 countries --> must be what Obambi was referring to when he said that the US has 57 states
And, he and the Dems claim he isn't a Muslim
Muslims aren’t stupid (many are engineers for example), and Americans are decent people. We don’t generally realize that there are evil, cold, calculating killers out there. We hear “human rights” and don’t realize it’s enemy propaganda.
As you wrote, Islam is opposed to human rights. The Muslims will play it (human rights) for what it’s worth in the US, but that’s only because it’s a winning strategy for silencing the opposition.
The leftists think America is an evil country that destroys the environment, uses more than it’s fair share, oppresses minorities, and punishes other nations unfairly. We’re a great evil, sexist, racist nation in leftist eyes. This is why leftists generally ally with Muslims who see America as the Great Satan. For some reason, the leftists don’t seem to realize they are playing with fire when they act as Islam apologists.
Sounds like another ploy to commit Islamic hatred. Islam preaching human rights is like Obama preaching free market economics...
Multiculturalism is a suicide pact. It sounds great in theory, but all cultures are not equal. I almost gag when I hear people spouting off about diversity. If diversity means Muslims are sitting at the table determining how America should be run, I want none of it.
Islam isn’t just a religion. It’s a political system, and that system is incompatible with America.
Leftists wet themselves when someone mentions the ten commandments, but they are silent when Muslims threaten to cut throats over cartoons. We conservatives have to protect the leftists from their own foolishness.
Organization of Islamics being Nuked to Kingdom Come = OINK
I LOVE that!!!
Can I steal it?
muzzies and human rights?
The OIC wants to nuke the US and they made this clear.
Typical muzzie scum.
What a sad Joke this is.
Coming fom a paople who allow Honor Killing of their own Children.
“OINK” is yours.
The sadder truth is the poeple who really believe it.
I spelled people the way you did. My mistake twice.
Are they interested in the rights of women?
Are they supportive of those in Afghanistan who put acid in the eyes of girls who had learned to read?
Are they supportive of those who have cut off the noses of women who walked on the street without a male relative as a companion?
Are they supportive of child brides?
(I thought not...)
I was thinking more that it is a contradiction in terms.
Now that is hilarious...a terrorist supporting organization that creates a human rights division to watch for the violation of > Muslim < human rights....such as the right to continue to blow themselves up within a crowd of innocent civilians......=.=
