Saudi 'chosen to head key UN human rights panel'

In other news: Dracula put in charge of the Blood Transfusion Service, Freddie Krueger becomes a sleep counsellor and Rolf Harris chosen to head up Operation Yewtree.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

From the article:

Quote:The HRC, the UN body responsible for promoting human rights around the world, has long been the subject of criticism for granting membership to countries with dubious human rights records. As well as Saudi Arabia, current members include China, Qatar, Russia and Venezuela.

The entire operation is a joke, a sop.

Why stop there? Let's bring North Korea in too.

I've heard the TPP deal is bringing in Malaysia, which has open slave trade, and another country who just instituted Sharia law. There is no excuse. I don't know how the US can make it more clear that they don't give a crap about morality or human rights. They just want power. We've got people saying a Muslim could never be president of the US, but they can be in charge of Human Rights at the UN, and our oil buddies.

Not that I'm horribly surprised. Christianity and Islam are much alike on most issues. They just disagree on who Yahweh's favorite person on earth was a few thousand years ago.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

This is why we can't have a nice planet.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
- Maryam Namazie
