The top official of the United Nations Human Rights Council is concerned that there are "taboo" subjects that the council refuses to address. That would be ANY discussion on Islamic Sharia Law.
On Monday Council chair Doru Romulus Costea cut off a speaker who raised the subject of Islamic Sharia law and how they have no respect for human rights. The man had the nerve to bring up rules for women under Sharia law, which include the death penalty by stoning for alleged adultery.
His comments sparked a "furious response" from Arab and Islamic members and Egypt's ambassador declared that "Islam won't be crucified before this Council". What he meant to say was, (D-Rock translation on) "how dare you insult the religion of Allah, may peace be upon him." Then the chairman of the council explained that the human rights council is not prepared to discuss religious matters in depth. Let me translate that again, (D-Rock translator on) "We don't mind offending other religions, just not Islam. We don't mind calling for England to abolish their monarchy and completely change their government, but don't you dare ask this commission to take a stand against our violent religion."
The Human Rights council has members from Cuba (a place that has no true elections), and Saudi Arabia (a place that beats and still stones women).....How nice.
But Costea insists that "the Council doesn't have the expertise to debate about the fascinating links between religion and human rights."
What a pile of manure!
