Wikipedia has the following opening paragraph and quote on "Human Rights"
"Human rights are "basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled."[1] Examples of rights and freedoms which have come to be commonly thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to be treated with respect and dignity, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education in some countries.
“ All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. ”
—Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)"
The Abrahamic religions have been heavily criticized for violating human rights as defined above and usually consider their own version of human rights dictated by their gods. Many adherents to Islam, for example, consider human rights a gift from Allah.
"Sharia Law are laws that penalize non-Muslims through heavy taxation; degrade women to second class citizens; authorizes the execution of any Muslim who converts to another religion; calls for the expulsion of Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula; and implements public humiliation, torture, dismemberment, stoning to death and beheadings as forms of punishment." ~~ Mike Ramirez
It's little wonder then why the Organization of Islamic Countries championed and had pushed through on March 26, 2009 by a vote of 23-11 in the United Nations to make the defamation of religion a human rights violation.
The sheer magnitude of stupidity and hypocrisy of such a move is astounding as it demands everyone turn a blind eye to the same theocratic human rights violations Islamic practices exhibit. Welcome back to the Bronze Age.
