Criminal Regimes, Should not be Represented by the UN.

In recent days the United Nations has flown their flag at half-mast in order to ‘sympathize’ with the people of North Korea at the loss of their ‘dear leader’, Kim Jong-il.

The late Kim Jong-il was a genocidal dictator responsible for the slavery of a nation & the deaths of thousands of his people.

The UN should be showing solidarity with the victims of this brutal regime.

Instead they commemorate a man who has brutalized his own people with policies of starvation, torture, imprisonment and oppression.

To commemorate such a man is immoral.

Out of respect for the death of Kim Jong-il, the UN flag flies at half-mast in Geneva.

December 28, 2011.

“Today should be a time for the UN to show solidarity with the victims — the millions of North Koreans brutalized by Kim’s merciless policies of starvation, torture and oppression — and not with the perpetrator,”  – Hillel Neuer, UN watch.

The UN.

The United Nations.

I will disagree with the United Nations for as long as it has unfree countries as members.

In the west we often take our freedom for granted. The UN should be a place for national ambassadors to represent their people on the world stage. However in reality, there are criminal regimes running entire countries, nations headed by tyrants, dictators, religious fanatics, racists & genocidal murderers.

Free democracies & criminal regimes are offered equal representation in the UN. 

Is this fair?

By giving these unelected thugs a vote, the UN has lost all credibility.

I do not support the UN, or respect what it says.

Radical Islam – Small Mindedness Threatens Indonesian Christians.

Bogor, Java.

In yet another attack on Christians over the Christmas period, a small group of Indonesian Christians were forced to move their  prayers to a member’s house after Radical Islamists threatened to disrupt the ceremony.

Members of the Indonesian Muslim Communication Forum (Forkami), the Islamic Reform Movement (Garis) and the Bogor Muslim Community (KMB) objected to the ceremony, forcing the Christian minority to move their celebrations from their church to a member’s home.

I consider this to be a shameful act of religious intolerance & yet another attack on Christians in the Muslim world.

Radical Islam – Christmas Attack.

This morning, as the Christian world celebrated Christmas Day – the disgusting face of Islamist hatred was once again revealed in Nigeria.

As church goers arrived to their churches Boko Haram, a backwards-minded  Islamist terror mob, whose name literally means  ‘western education is forbidden’  – carried out two disgusting attacks on innocent civilians.

The group were also responsible for an August 2011 suicide attack on the UN headquarters in Abuja – more than 20 people were killed in that
attack.

At time of publishing this entry, the death toll stands at 26. (Though Nigerian officials have noted that this figure is expected to rise.

Make no mistakes this is an attack on freedom & a vicious attack on progressive African society.

BBC’s Christmas Bias.

BBC  has made no secret of its anti-Israel coverage of middle east news in the past.

Honest Reporting offers an excellent analysis of the ingrained bias of the BBC.

Anyone whose knowledge of the Israeli Palestinian conflict was limited to images on the BBC website would come away with the impression that Israel was almost always the aggressor and the Palestinians the victims.

(Original Report Here.)

At the time of publishing this message, we are just a few hours into Christmas day. In a special Christmas report on modern Bethlehem they have posted a completely impartial attack on the State of Israel.

The report focuses on a number of individuals in the Bethlehem region. Below are a three of the extracts which shamelessly attack Israel & it’s right to defend itself.
