UN Surrenders to Jihad Against Human Rights

On June 16th, Doru-Romulus Costea, the president of the most worthless institution in the world, the United Nations Human Rights Council, announced that criticism of Shari'a Law will not be tolerated at the UNHRC. Addressing journalists in Geneva, Costea declared that "This council is not prepared to discuss religious matters in depth, consequently we should not do it."

Nonsense. What the UNHRC is not prepared to discuss in depth are institutionalized human rights violations that are cloaked in the mantle of religion, and that Mr. Costea's arrogant, farcical council will not accept any criticism for promoting a return to Medieval standards of conduct. Instead of fulfilling its duty to defend the tenets of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the newly reconstituted UNHRC  has declared its intention to legitimize the dismissal of crimes against humanity upon the issuance of a fatwa.

This will not do. Either the UNHRC should find a president willing and able to discharge his/her duties, or it should be permanently disbanded. One way or the other, the UN's latest human rights charade must be put to an abrupt end.
