The UN is dead. Announcing the birth of FREE

Muammar Gaddafi of Libya is right.

And so too is Mahmud Ahmadinejad of Iran.

They both want the UN to be fundamentally restructured.

They both accuse the UN’s various key organisations of partisanship. Of failing to deal even-handedly. Of taking sides. Of gross disregard of certain member states.

They want to see certain member states excluded from the UN’s various bodies.

And they have a point. A very valid point.

It really is time to create an organisation that truly represents the entire world.

Not just the bully-boys in the Islamic sphere and their fanatical collaborators.

Imagine a UN in which discussion is encouraged. Where debate aims at resolving problems. Where funds are used to solve the root cause of problems, instead of perpetuating them. Where problems are tackled with honesty and straight talk, backed up by firm action.

Gaddafi and Ahmadinejad, those paragons of democracy, free speech and peace, are absolutely right.

It really IS time to restructure the UN.

There should be two UNs. One consisting of large swathes of the Arab and Muslim worlds, allied to such beacons of freedom and democracy as Zimbabwe, Sudan and Cuba.

And the other consisting of the free world.

Leaving them free to pursue their goals.

And allowing us to make improvements in the free world.

Because if you want to find out what the world really looks like today while it is under siege at the UN, look no further than UN Watch.

Here are two short films.



That was then.

This is now.



Unfortunately, the films require no explanation.

And that’s the really sad part of it: the situation is plain for us to see, we keep paying to maintain the status quo, and there’s no change in sight.

I say vote for Gaddafi and Ahmadinejad and their proposal – a new, restructured “United Nations” or UN.

They can have it. These nations are, after all, truly united in their goals.

We’ll call our organisation the “Federation that Recognises and Embraces Equality”. FREE for short.

The only problem is, it feels truly terrible to condemn millions upon millions of ordinary, peace-loving citizens of the old UN to a life of misery under the new UN. A life with no prospect of any improvement.

The UN Human Rights Council Hosts the World's Most Atrocious Human Rights Abusers

When blindness rules.

The UN Human Rights Council has once again demonstrated its apparently insatiable capacity for rabid Israel-hatred while simultaneously bullying the civilised world into abject submission.

On Thursday March 26, 2009, the UN Human Rights Council approved a Muslim-nation proposal to legislate against criticism of religion, specifying only one such religion: Islam.

It is remarkable that the proposal was put forward only by Muslim nations – with the collaboration of Venezuela and Belarus, not exactly nations noted for their striking record on human rights issues, democracy or freedom of expression.

The Pakistan-initiated proposal secured majority backing from 23 members of the 47-nation HRC. 11 countries voted against and 13 abstained.

The resolution requires member states to offer “protection against acts of hatred, discrimination, intimidation and coercion resulting from defamation of religions and incitement to religious hatred in general”.

Here then is the record of some of the Muslim states that voted in favour of the proposal:

Pakistan’s Ahmadiya muslim minority is systematically persecuted for being “un-Islamic”. The Ahmadiya refer to themselves as the “Jews of the Muslim world” owing to their treatment at the hands of their other Muslim brethren. Pakistan also has a devastating history of violence against the country’s Christian minority, with churches being bombed and set alight with their congregants inside, and worshippers routinely murdered for the sake of their religion.

Egypt routinely abuses its minority Coptic Christians, who are being gradually forced out of the country in search of safety away from their lifelong homes.

The Palestinian Authority’s Fatah regime, which is currently in charge of the West Bank, and Iran’s forward forces in the Gaza Strip, Hamas, both systematically hunt down and murder Christian Arabs in an institutionalised drive to ethnically cleanse the region of non-Muslims. The record of these two terror organisations on the treatment of Jews speaks for itself, with thousands of Jews murdered over the years on account of their religion, from decades before the recreation of the state of Israel to this very day.

Sudan’s activities in Darfur make a parody of that nation’s vote in the recent UN human-rights debacle. The genocide of black Africans at the hand of ethnic Arab Janjaweed militiamen has reached such proportions that black African Muslim Sudanese are fleeing their homeland by the thousands to seek refuge in the world’s only Jewish nation, Israel, knowing that Israel is the only country that will treat them fairly. It should be pointed out that Sudan is formally at war with Israel.

The first thing the Taliban did in Afghanistan was to destroy two centuries-old statues of Buddha. The second thing they did was to prevent women from being seen in public, followed by the prevention of girls from acquiring an education. The Islamic nations proposing and supporting the recent UN Human Rights parody made no mention of this.

This this article offers several examples of “defamation of religions and incitement to religious hatred” that the resolution’s proponents seem not to have noticed, even though they take place in their own state-run media from Syria, Egypt, the PA, Hamas, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain Saudi Arabia.

However, the systematic demonisation of Jews is not solely the prerogative of the printed media. TV has a far wider impact. One example from PA TV says it all.

Without the faintest hint of a sense of self-deprecating humour, the resolution’s proponents state that "Defamation of religions is the cause that leads to incitement to hatred, discrimination and violence toward their followers."

And there’s more gallows humour: "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism," according to the resolution.

This might come as something of a surprise to the victims of Islamic human rights violations and terrorism in countries as far apart geographically, ethnically, religiously, politically and democratically as Indonesia, Jordan, Russia, Sudan, Egypt, England, Israel, India, Iraq, Spain, Afghanistan, Scotland, Pakistan, Argentina, Lebanon, Australia, Syria, the United States and Saudi Arabia.

Countries as disparate as can be imagined, yet all united by one single feature that appears invisible to the organisation of Muslim nations: they are all afflicted by the scourge of Islamic terrorism and human rights abuses.

The Islamic world is staking its claim: criticism of islam is illegal, at the same time as criticism of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism – and even Ahmadiya Islam – is not only permissible but officially sanctioned and worshippers actively persecuted.

Forget the forthcoming Durban II. Racism is already rife in the UN. The UN is the world’s sole official practitioner of racism. All in the name of radical Islam.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for the free world’s political leaders to lead on this sensitive issue. In the West, political correctness rules. In the Islamic world, political correctness is the most powerful weapon at their disposal.

Forget Iran’s upcoming nuclear arsenal – the free world won’t last long enough to be consumed in an Iranian nuclear holocaust. Our love-affair with political correctness will put paid to us long before then.

Want proof? Just look at the rapid debasement of Sweden and the loss of its independence in the face of increasingly strident Islamist aggression.
