When will global attention turn to the murder and abuse of infidels in Muslim countries instead of focusing exclusively upon the burning of the Qur’an? The UN Human Rights Council should be paying attention to real abuses, such as the persecution and the ongoing genocide being committed in Africa and the Middle East in the way of Allah.
The burning of the Qur’an has nothing to do with religious hatred, contrary to the claims of the UN Human Rights Council; otherwise, the books of other faiths would be burned too. Burning the Qur’an has everything to do with sending a clear message that the West intends to stand up for the freedom of expression, especially given the real hatred and supremacism, as well as the persecution, that far too many Muslims perpetrate against infidels.
There is no comparison between persecuting and murdering Christians and other infidels and a mere Qur’an burning. Remember: it was an Iraqi refugee who knows the suffering of religious minorities under Muslim rule who burned a Qur’an in Sweden.
“UN Council Condemns Alarming Rise in Religious Hatred,” by Lisa Shlein, Voice of America, July 11, 2023:
In a rare moment of international accord, dozens of nations attending a debate at the U.N. Human Rights Council on the alarming rise of religious hatred condemned the lack of tolerance for the beliefs of others, which they said has led to the incitement of discrimination, hostility and violence.
The debate was triggered by the June 28 burning of a Quran by an Iraqi refugee outside a mosque in Stockholm, Sweden. The act, which coincided with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, was widely condemned by Islamic and other nations around the world.
“These and other incidents appear to have been manufactured to express contempt and inflame anger; to drive wedges between people; and to provoke transforming differences of perspective into hatred and, perhaps, violence,” said Volker Türk, U.N. high commissioner for human rights, who kicked off the debate with an impassioned plea to people of all beliefs to “act with respect for others.”…..
Hoi Polloi says
They’re right about something at the UN, for once. The “alarming rise of religious hatred’ over Qur’an burning” is showing the world that a page smudged or burned offers the entitlement, in their minds, to rape, arson, and slaughter entire nations. And thus opens the door, in their minds, to their goal of taking over the world.
But don’t look back in anger.

Good summary of the Muslim attitude, Hoi Polloi. Complete insanity by the foaming at the mouth primitives over the burning of a vile, evil book. But some fools still seem to think that islam and its followers are basically peaceful types of people.

Here is somewhere for the UN to start:
As a Muslim I must have hatred for everything non-Islam – Choudary
Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us – Osama bin Laden
love the Muslims and hate the Kuffaar – muslimsagainstvoting
Muslims …must have … enmity and hatred of …kaffirs – islamqa.com
You should hate them, disown them and their religion – Alminbar
No one loves the kuffaar. We hate kuffaar – Abu Usama, Birmingham UK

THese people at the UN have to be complete fools who know nothing, Michael. Islam and the Koran are dripping with murderous levels of hatred for all non-believers, but these clowns at the UN seem to choose to ignore that and only get upset about a bit of aggro being directed at hate-filled islam. It is a mystery to me how islam seems to get away with all the hatred, such as that expressed in those quotes, but so many people jump to islam’s defence when it cops some well deserved payback for its endless hatred and intolerance for non-Muslims.
Michael Copeland says
What if the book contains instructions (aplenty) to “Kill them”?
Is it not right to protest?

One disgraceful moment at this meeting was India joining hands w/ Pakistan to condemn the quran burning. I was reading tweets from there, and a lot of people are livid at India doing that, given how Paki Hindus are still being treated. It seems that nothing short of Modi’s assassination can save the BJP next year from an electoral debacle

It’s not a matter of “religious hate” but it’s a very important thing for Christians to do to reveal the Qr’ ‘ran what religious fraud that is actually is, since that religious book inspires jihadist deadly violence,. As seen in Surah 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,123. 47;4
Therefore its very important expose all the errors and contradictions that it contains.
As revealed on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qu’ran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu ‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” In addition , in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Even though the above essay was posted before, it should now be added that the last statement of the above that “the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.” To put this in a Biblical way. As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Qu ‘ran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12.. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
It’s not “religious hate” to use the power of reason to expose the flaws used in the “logic” to uphold the Qu ‘ran by the propagandists for Islam.
For example, there’s an old challenge given by many the apologists for Islam to support of their firm belief that the Qu ‘ran is ,truly, Divine.
The challenge they declare is “Try to write a book as beautifully written as the Qu’ ran . you cannot.”
The answer to that claim this that just because a written work of religious literature has beauty in it does not necessary mean that it’s the infallible Word of God.
For there are many highly religious books that are very beautifully written that have been around for centuries but not literally God’s Word.
For example, many of the books that make up the Apocrypha are very well written but they didn’t make into the Bible as God’s word. For instance, the specific apocrypha book of The Song of Three Young Men is a very pious beautifully written religious work of religious literature beautifully written still not the Divine Word of God.
In addition, there have been and are many very intelligent men who read the Qu ‘ran and found it to be overly repetitious, dull inconsistent and even in some places contradictory.
This naturally is in contrast to how all Muslims hear the Qu ‘ran when it is recited. So those two contrasting views of the Qu ‘ran just prove valid the old saying that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
In conclusion, it should be obvious that just because a person finds something in a book that is religious book is beautifully written doesn’t actually mean it’s Divine.
mgoldberg says
Apparently the homicidal murdering of tens of thousands over the last several years by ….. muslims…… in many countries, didn’t make a dent in the problems of “xpressing contempt and inflame anger; to drive wedges between people; and to provoke transforming differences of perspective into hatred and, perhaps, violence” How the heck do they say this stuff whilst people are murdered by muslims across nations and all they can moo about is a burnt quran.
Ray Jarman says
I know that I have pedantic about the lives of Christians in Africa but I can’t help it. Injustice is injustice and the media with few exceptions are complicit in covering up the atrocities committed by these evil Islamic creatures.
I had the opportunity to talk with a lady (a Democrat) who is a friend of my sister where we discussed a number of topics. My sister had a minor surgery this morning and she was at the hospital to provide moral support. This lady had never read any articles concerning the horrific slaughter of Christians and other people not of Islam. I showed a few articles from Jihad Watch and she said she will subscribe to the website. I just hope that she will share some of the article to her friends.
James Lincoln says
Ray,
Your sister’s friend sounds like a classic liberal – far different from today’s Marxist Democrat. She may be actually willing to learn.
Today’s hard-core Leftists would resort to name-calling – and shutting down all reasonable discussion.
OLD GUY says
Oh yes let us bow before the islamic world rulers. What the hell is wrong with you people? Islam destroys all other religions and you are worried about a book burning.

75 years have passed since the formation of UNO. Yet it did not attempt to achieve the main objectives of the fathers who created it. The first, second, and fourth objectives are peace and tranquillity between nations. The third purpose is about hunger, famine, starvation, and disease. UNO is a silent spectator in the matter of Russia invading Ukraine and distressing People of Afghan and North Korean governments
UNO should be interested in achieving its four main objectives.
According to a report released by Open Doors, the organization is that one in 12 Christians worldwide is persecuted: 11-Jan-2018 — About 215 million Christians are being persecuted due to their faith around the world. In this regard, the UNO is also a silent spectator.
But, the UNO is only concerned with homosexuals, transgender people, and abortion. UNO is going the other way. UNO is acting against its purpose. United Nations Organization has deviated from its primary purpose, so UNO must be abolished.
