Muslim States Seek U.N. Action on West's "Islamophobia"
Reuters ^ | June 16, 2010

Posted on 06/16/2010 11:18:21 AM PDT by reaganaut1

GENEVA (Reuters) - Muslim states said on Wednesday that what they call "islamophobia" is sweeping the West and its media and demanded that the United Nations take tougher action against it.

Delegates from Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Egypt, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that treatment of Muslims in Western countries amounted to racism and discrimination and must be fought.

"People of Arab origin face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalization," an Egyptian delegate said, according to a U.N. summary.

And Pakistan, speaking for the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said the council's special investigator into religious freedom should look into such racism "especially in Western societies."

Acting for the OIC, Pakistan has tabled a resolution at the council instructing its special investigator on religious freedom "to work closely with mass media organizations to ensure that they create and promote an atmosphere of respect and tolerance for religious and cultural diversity."

The OIC -- and its allies in the 47-nation council including Russia, China and Cuba -- dub criticism of Muslim practices and linking of terrorism waged under the proclaimed banner of Islamism as "islamophobia" that pillories all Muslims.

BOUND TO PASS

Diplomats say the resolution, which also tells the investigator to make recommendations to the Human Rights Council on how its strictures might be implemented, is bound to pass given the majority the OIC and its allies have in the body.

The countries of the majority group, which also include India and Brazil, ensure that its members and their friends outside the council -- such as Sri Lanka and Iran -- are shielded from any serious criticism of their rights record.

Umm, why are there "Muslim" states but no "Christian" ones, only "Western" ones? Because Muslims make life hell for non-Muslims when Muslims are the majority. There isn't *enough* realism ("Islamaophobia") in the West. Obama has taught me that utter shamelessness can take you a long way.

I do believe that Islam hasn’t begun to see Islamophobia yet. And while we’re at it, perhaps we ought to file on them for Christianophobia. At least the competing suits would clog each other up in the judicial pipeline.

Every time they yap something like this, Israel should automatically chime in with the exact same statement, but about themselves:

“People of Jewish origin face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalization from Arab and Muslim nations.”

This would leave the Muslims apoplectic, loudly denying that they mistreat anyone, followed immediately by screaming “Death to Jews!”

Hypocrites deserve sarcasm to their face, especially if the sarcasm is accurate. Since the UN cultivates such hypocrisy, it should be the place to have the sarcasm thrown in their face.

Islamophobia? Perhaps people have an aversion to being bombed, kidnapped and/or beheaded. It's not a "phobia". It's a healthy avoidance of dangerous zealots. Respect is a two-way street. When Muslims show tolerance for other religions, others will have some incentive to extend the same. We have 1400 years of history showing that it hasn't happened yet.

Sure right around the time, the same UN enacts binding agreements with all Islamic countries codfying religious freedom for all other religions, and even for those who are “infidels”.

Right after that.

Let’s start with Saudi Arabia. Then Iran.

I've never liked the term “Isamophobia” - phobia is a fear. It should be “Islamodisgust” - that is much more descriptive.

.
How I hope these Muslim states are right about the perceived ‘islamophobia’. It’s about time that the West realizes what they’re up against. Why do they allow a movement to exist within their borders that promotes the destruction of their host countries?

What are these same UN going to do about the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries?

"Delegates from Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Egypt, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that treatment of Muslims in Western countries amounted to racism and discrimination and must be fought."

Militant "Islam" is a behavioral choice and not a race. If they run around threatening to impose Sharia law on the societies they infest like the parasites they are, demanding the "right" to cut off women's genitals, and so on, that is a behavioral choice and not a race. It is in fact racist of the Left to suggest that said behavioral choices are characteristic of a specific race or ethnicity, because they are not.

We should call them nithings or nidings, which is probably the most offensive and degrading word in existence. Arabs in fact have a similar word: Mufsidoon or mufsidun (evil and corrupt people, i.e. evildoers). From Wikipedia, "In historical Germanic society, nīþ (Old Norse: níð; Icelandic: níð, Old English: nīþ, nīð); was a term for a social stigma implying the loss of honour and the status of a villain. A person affected with the stigma is a nīðing (Old Norse: níðingr; Icelandic: níðingur, Old English: nīðing, nīðgæst; Old High German: nidding). Middle English retained a cognate nithe, meaning "envy", "hate", or "malice"."

UN = United Nithings or United Nidings

UN = United Nithings or United Nidings.

Nithing (Scandinavian in origin) is probably the most offensive word in existence. It means an enemy of Civilization, a hostis humani generis (enemy of all Mankind). A man who was proven a nithing was in fact often outlawed. It is so offensive that Godwin’s Law should apply to it as well, i.e. you don’t call somebody a Nazi or a nithing unless he is in fact acting like a genuine enemy of civilization and of all Humanity.

Suffice to say that “Nithing” was not spoken lightly in Iceland and so on, because if you said that to somebody he had to fight a duel (holmgang) with you to avoid becoming an outcast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmgang

If someone speaks insults to another man (”You’re not the like of a man, and not a man in your chest!” – ”I’m a man like you!”), they shall meet where three roads meet. If he who has spoken comes and not the insulted one, then he shall be as he’s been called: no right to swear oaths, no right to bear witness, may it concern man or woman.

If the insulted one comes and not he who has spoken, then he shall cry ”Niðingr!” [niding or nithing] three times and make a mark in the ground, and he is worse who spoke what he dared not keep.

Now both meet fully armed: if the insulted one falls, the compensation is half a weregild [man-price]; if he who has spoken falls, insults are the worst, the tongue the head’s bane, he shall lie in a field of no compensation.

I do not fear islam, I despise it. I despise all that it stands for. I despise it’s practitioners and its goals. I despise its false prophet, and the culture of death that he and his followers have spawned.

ISLAM is not a RELIGION; it is an invasion

Islam is a criminal enterprise tenuously held together by the preponderance of ignorance and the threat of violence.

I believe that muslims, like communists, are on their best behavior when they are afraid.
