The Arabs obfuscate, the Persians just say "I have no idea what you are talking about".<BR/><BR/>Remember Ahmedinejad said at Columbia: "We have no homosexuals in Iran".<BR/><BR/>Fucked.Ibn al-Rawandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072309713835844687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875190753527967560.post-9156765708208698982009-02-19T13:21:00.000-08:002009-02-19T13:21:00.000-08:00Wow, that shit is infuriating to watch.

T...Jacques,<BR/><BR/>I think there is little hope for the UN. The international community is dominated by groups that either:<BR/><BR/>1) Demand their beliefs be free from criticism<BR/>2) Side with those who demand freedom from criticism<BR/>3) Refuse to stand up to the censorious bastards.<BR/><BR/>Leaving the UN would send a message, but wouldn't fix things. I think there will eventually be a surge in popularity for political parties (like Geert Wilders' party) that take the defense of liberal values serious, and hopefully this can shift the tide.<BR/><BR/>But I think voting for politicians that will protect liberal values in your home country is paramount. Not racist xenophobes, but responsible politicians who will defend values without curtailing rights. <BR/><BR/>Protest is also important. Blogging, email campaigns, organization, letter writing etc... These are all important.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the note!Ibn al-Rawandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072309713835844687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875190753527967560.post-61927403706941834742009-02-19T10:36:00.000-08:002009-02-19T10:36:00.000-08:00Browsing through your posts and it seems the UN is...Browsing through your posts and it seems the UN is now absolutely powerless aggainst any group which cries 'religious sensitivity'.<BR/><BR/>More than a little distressing.<BR/><BR/>Any suggestion on what we can do?<BR/><BR/>JHJacques Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649364886651993125noreply@blogger.com
