According to President Doru Romulus Costea - and following the efforts
of
delegates from Egypt, Pakistan and Iran - the Council will no longer
tolerate criticism of either Sharia or specific fatwas in the name of
human
rights.
In many parts of the Islamic world, it is becomingly increasing clear
not
only that the Koran (the written record of the original oral
transmissions
of Mohammad's life teachings) and the Hadith (the later delineations
of
those teachings) are considered sacrosanct in their perfection, but
also the
various implementations of these teachings, known as Sharia Law.
No evolution or refinements are required. No matter that nearly every
multitudinous Muslim sect or group has a differing interpretation of
this
God-given Sharia Law. Nor that the stoning to death of women,
beheading of
men, and all the 6th century niceties of feudal Arabia are still part
and
parcel of the immovable Islamic tradition. Never mind that Sunni will
decimate Shia - and vice versa - over differences of interpretations
far
more modest than those between (modern) Catholics and Protestants,
between
Hindus and Buddhists. Islamic sect can war on Islamic sect, Arab can
criticize Arab.
Because Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and all other religions are
imperfect, they are fair game for any and all attacks. Since Israel,
Zionism, America and the Western World were created and developed
outside
the Islamic World and its divine perfection, they are likewise subject
to
criticism.
Now, not only has the Islamic God forbidden outside criticism of the
Sharia
Law, but the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) is its enjoined messenger
on
earth.
Of course, observers of the HRC should not be surprised. The
ostensibly
prestigious body has become a revolving door for countries with an
ambivalent (or even well nigh invisible) relationship with freedom
and
democracy. In the two years following its replacement of the equally
dictatorship-friendly Human Rights Commission, Algeria, Angola,
Azerbaijan,
Cameroon, China, Cuba, Egypt, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
and
Tunisia have all been elected to the Council. As a majority of the
Council's
resolutions are concerned with Israel, it would effectively cease
functioning were it not for its compulsive focus on the Jewish state.
Due to this resolution the Council - and thus, perversely, the UN -
is
endorsing a worldview in which human interpretation and understanding
has
been placed beyond the pale of critical thinking and investigation as
long
as it's part of Sharia Law or the Islamic tradition. Perhaps we
should
rename the United Nations and call it the "Nations of Islam - United
in
Unique and Ineffable Perfection." Sounds appropriate.
