Erdoğan and the ‘Al-Gaddafi Prize’
February 28, 2011 12:00 A.M
Everything you need to know about the Turkish prime minister, in one act.

The slogan of the “Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights” is, “As the sun shines for everyone, freedom is a right for everyone.” Lovely, no? Especially at a moment when Qaddafi’s warplanes are raining down death and destruction on his own subject people, and when foreign mercenaries are brutalizing the population?
[...]Past recipients of the prize have included... Louis Farrakhan (1996), Fidel Castro (1998), and Hugo Chávez (2004).

But it’s the current recipient who is the most interesting: none other than the prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He accepted the prize in Tripoli, Libya, on Dec. 1, 2010, for his “distinguished service to humanity.” In his acceptance speech, Erdoğan said that the award will further encourage him to fight for human rights and that “Islamophobia” is a crime against humanity. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/260823/erdo-and-al-gaddafi-prize-daniel-pipes

Erdogan's officially IslamoFASCISTIC now, allied w/ Omar Al-Bashir, Ahmadinejad, Hamas, Qaddafi

With such wonderful buddies, How can this suversive type of "human rights" system go wrong? Whatever is a crime against humanity is magically turned into "pro-human rights." By the same token, real Human rights of non-Arab non-Muslim minority (Israel) to survive against "Palestinian / Iranian jihadi genocide are completely denied, automatically.

Minorities? Don't deserve anything, just shut up about it

When was the last time you heard or read about the racial discrimination against minorities in Turkey such as Kurds?
The very same "reason" you never hear about the cry of all non-Islamic non-Persian minorities (Dhimmis) in oppressive intolerant Islamic Republic of Iran - Erdogan's ally. [heck, the prison state called Iran's has -among other things- invented a fairly "original" idea to subdue protest by "accusing" any opponent of "spying."]


"Peace" means war!

Erdogan as in the radical Islamic IHH "Flotilla" ship the "Go back to Auchwitz" genocidal "peace" boat, headed to Gaza to attack...



2,000,000 killed by Arab Islamic fanaticism is "not an issue."

Just as the victims of the most horrific post-WW2 [Arab-Islamic] genocide in Sudan is categorized of as some "minor misunderstanding," a silent case, where the Arab lobby hijacked UN can't seem to find the time of day to take issue with. Worse, That's right, our Erdogan embraces al-Bashir, the convicted of Arab racist genocide and crimes against humanity.


Racism as "anti racism"

Just as the 'racist apartheid Arab world' (against the non-Arabs, especially against Jews) cries "racism" in Durban upon the very victim of Arab racism, namely Israel.



The self 'designed' death of Arab civilians

Just as the victims of using its own civilian population by Arab Palestinians, especially kids and by Iran's thugs the Islamic Hezbollah are pinned on Israel and not on the cuilprit Arabs.

A World Upside Down, in all human aspects.

Watchdog Group Demands Removal Of Libyan Human Rights Investigator...
U.N. Watch, an organization that monitors the world body, says Libyan envoy Najat Al-Hajjaji should be the ‘last person’ investigating human rights abuses, as Libyan jets drop bombs on rebel forces in her homeland. A watchdog group is asking the U.N. to immediately remove a Libyan envoy from her post as an investigator on human rights violations by mercenaries, saying that as a mouthpiece for a regime that’s “deploying hired guns to massacre its own people” it’s “outrageous” to have her in that position.

But it’s not the first time Al-Hajjaji’s been in a controversial post.

In 2003 she was elected president of the Human Rights Commission against objections from human rights groups and the U.S.

"It is not appropriate for a nation under U.N. sanctions -- a nation with the horrible human rights record that Libya has -- to be chairman of this commission," then U.S. ambassador, Kevin Moley, said at the time.

As someone who “whitewashed the crimes of the Qaddafi regime” for more than a decade, “she also shouldn’t have been the head of the world conference on racism, the Durban II conference, which she chaired for two years,” Neuer added.

But Neuer said it would be hard to imagine a position that would be more of an “obscene irony” than her current one.

“Everybody knew she was sitting on this mercenary group and no one said a thing…and the question is why not?”

In a letter sent Monday to UN chief Ban Ki-moon, U.N. rights commissioner Navi Pillay, and UNHRC president Sihasak Phuangketkeow, U.N. Watch demanded that the officials take immediate action to expel Al-Hajjaji.

THE REAL WORLD



A Tyrants Club


The U.N. Human Rights Commission is worse than a joke.



BY CLAUDIA ROSETT



Wednesday, January 22, 2003 12:01 a.m. EST



[The Wall Street Journal]



Among those who value liberty and justice, the United Nations' choice of Libya to chair this year's session of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights has been widely described as a defeat. By some lights it's a defeat for the U.S.--which protested giving this post to an emissary of terror-sponsoring tyrant Moammar Gadhafi. By U.S. standards it's a
defeat for the Human Rights Commission and the entire system of international justice the U.N. pretends to promote. All of which sounds bad, but comfortably abstract; just one more round of folly at the U.N.

[...]

It is a betrayal of millions upon millions of people living under governments so brutal--from North Korea to Turkmenistan to Iraq--that most citizens do not dare to demand the freedoms that belong by right to all human beings.


[...]

It is absurd, in fact, to describe the exaltation on Monday of Libya's Ambassador Najat al-Hajjaji to head of the Human Rights Commission as the product of a "vote." That implies there was some sort of democratic process at work... Among the 33 governments that voted in favor of Libya were almost certainly the rulers of such civic sinkholes as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Cuba and Zimbabwe. Like the despots in Syria, Vietnam and China, these are folks who do not have the guts to face a genuine system of democracy back home..


It's much worse than that. Putting Libya in a spot to set the U.N. agenda on human rights is not simply a defeat of justice and human dignity. It is a betrayal.

This BITTER JOKE is in the news:

Major Muslim group sets up human rights division 22 Apr 2010

… The
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has announced it is setting up a
special division that will deal with human rights.

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=173731

---

The regionalization of minority rights is most advanced within the West, in Europe and the Americas, By contrast, there is virtually no enthusiasm in Asia or the Arab/Muslim world to defelop regional norms on minortitiy rights. The whole issue remains essentially a taboo topic in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries…. Interestingly, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, representing Muslim-majority countries around the world, has a Department on Minority Affairs, but its formal resolutions focus exclusively on the rights of Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim majority countries (Khan 2002). (For representative example, see the OIC’s resolution ‘On Safeguarding the Rights of Muslim Communites and Minorities in non-OIC Member States’– Resoliution No. 1/10-MM (IS) , adopted at the 10th Session of the Islamic Summit Conference, 16-17 October-2203). The OIC has not attempted to codify norms, or to establish formal monitoring mechanisms, regarding the treatment of ethnic minorities within Muslim-majority countries, such as the oppression of the Kurds in Syria, the Ahwaz in Iran, the Hazars in Afghanistan, the Baluchs in Pakistan,the ‘Al-Akhdam’ in Yemen, or the Berbers in Algeria.

According to the ICC the intensity of persecution was “high” and “increasing.” In the ICC’s report this year the group abandoned its attempt to rank persecutors, but again included Eritrea among the worst ten. Eritrea placed among the top four in intensity of persecution, along with North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia.

Rights experts attack Islam defamation drive at UN

Wed 17 Dec 2008, 15:33 GMT

By Robert Evans

GENEVA, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The United Nations should stop passing resolutions, largely promoted by Islamic countries, calling for laws against "defamation of religion", according to international experts on freedom of expression.

The four experts -- from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the United Nations itself -- said such laws were often used to shield religious leaders from criticism and to suppress religious minorities and non-believers.

"International organisations, including the United Nations General Assembly and Human Rights Council, should desist from the further adoption of statements supporting the idea of 'defamation of religion'," they declared.

How do anti-humanity 'Palestinian' leaders manage to talk about "human rights"?

How do anti-humanity 'Palestinian' leaders manage to talk [in
the UN, or infiltrating "peace" & "socialists" movements] about "human rights"?

The wonder isn't just about the Islamic Hamas butchers but even when it comes to the "moderate" Fatah that still glorifies mass murderers as "heroes/martyrs" and hosts those hate
sermons that justifies the killing of the infidels on its official TV.

What's "human rights" or "human" about a cult that worships death for its children and for its adversary?

How can one talk about "human rights" when the basic right of surviving of Israelis is in question by most 'Palestinians' (polled) or by its leadership?

Then you have (almost) the entire bigoted Islamo Arab world that again wouldn't give a hood if an Arab 'Palestinian' is OK or not, but the intolerance against the "other", the Israel, never
loses its steam.

Never underestimate the power of 'anti Israel bigotry'! That galvanizes so many that couldn't care less what happens to (any) Arabs, but found one more venue where to hit at innocent Israel and add to it's battered image.

Which explains why you never hear praise, for all amazing and unbelievable efforts by humane Israelis to keep highest respect for human rights [from harsh court and enforcement for any abuse, to easing restrictions in terror infested neighborhoods] of those that seek to harm them, all while despite imperative security of its people who's at cost.

"Innocent Palestinians"?, say what? who? Hmm, a tiny fringy minority - maybe!

"Innocent Palestinians"?, say what? who? Hmm, a tiny fringy minority - maybe!


Don't you "love" it, to hear the term 'innocent
Palestinians'? another great production of the 'Palestinian'
propaganda greased by international monstrous Arab oil [not to be confused with
helping any Arab 'Palestinians, which the Arab world never thought nor seeks to,
of course, on the contrary, the Arab leaders have an "interest" & often
'help' in Arab Muslim 'Palestinians' kept down, amazing as it is, it serves
them an anti Zionist bashing front and a diversion from their oppression,
corruption and crimes on their own people] and Arab-Muslim political power
worldwide.

Well, why don't we examine the true meaning of
"innocent"?

True, usually, in any nation, group, the vast majority is
innocent, well meaning, its intentions, actions are directed towards
positivity.

However, the "specialty" of 'Palestinians' is that their
overwhelming majority is guilty, and we'll explain why.

* A society that its mainstream glorifies mass murder
["martyrdom"] (see: http://pmw.org.il/, http://memri.org/
), is sick to the core.

* A society that votes overwhelmingly for the genocidal party
the Islamic Hamas - which up to this day still declares to annihilate all
[non-Arabs, non-Muslims, AKA] Jews (http://pmw.org.il/bulletins_apr2007.htm#b120407 ) from Israel, and promotes Islamic supremacy domination all
over the world (http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/2790, http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=661486&contrassID=2&subContrassID=15
&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y, http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/016618.php ), is by-in-large a part in this fascist ideology and
deed.

* A society that it polls show, most favor ethnic cleansing of
Jews from its historic land and genocide bombing [carefully planned to be
carried out in the most crowded of places, specifically intended to
massacre as many unarmed innocent Israeli civilians as possible], (
http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3%3Fid=28550,

http//www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-10/20/content_273601.htm)
is a
racist genocidal "society".

* A society that encourages to sell one's child to the
devil, to the death camps (see: http://tecahkidspeace.org/ ), where religious
figures and parents love to instill hate in their children for the "apes and
pigs" [AKA Christians & Jews], where mothers from hell "love" their
children in the Islamic militant ideology of 'kill & be killed' -
'Palestinian' motherhood, is twisted all around.

* A society that since its inception has produced nothing but
lies, denying that most were immigrants into the land of the Jews, calling every
lost battle a "massacre", then expanding the monster lying machine of fake
images Pallywood (see: http://www.take-a-pen.org/english/Articles/PLE.htm, http://www.seconddraft.org/movies.php)
and never honored one detail of any peace agreement with Israel, can't
claim to have one iota of honesty in its entity, [Never forget this, every
time you hear "Palestinians" say, claim, just about anything of a "Palestinian"
source has about the same degree of credibility].

* A society that chooses death over life, Jihadism over
education, self destruction over advancement, is the "best" model for self made
misery.

* A society that shoots behind little shoulders of own kids,
or behind squirts of own women, is nothing but the "perfection" of
cowardice evil.

* A society that would do anything so that its kids die [from
covering for adults terrorists, plain shooting its Arab kids like Muhammad Al
Dura

Britain's love affair with the Saudi kingdom - tale of Saudi's Islamic theocracy's Oppressive brutality

Britain's love affair with the Saudi kingdom - tale of Saudi's Islamic theocracy's Oppressive brutality

Britain's love affair with the Saudi kingdom

By Jemima Khan
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 04/11/2007


King Abdullah arrived at Heathrow last Wednesday morning for the
first State Visit to the UK for 20 years – five planes, 13 family members, an
entourage of several hundred. No women.

I've been to Saudi Arabia a few
times. It's not much fun being a woman there. I suspect it's worse being a Saudi
woman. And worse still being her migrant maid.

It's a mad place and the
rules there have got nothing to do with Islam.

advertisementI've had my
feet beaten, not once but twice – first by a stick-wielding crone at Mecca for
not wearing socks, then by a pool attendant when I (swathed entirely in
compulsory trick-or-treat black) took my son to the hotel pool for a paddle.

I've heard old ladies complain that they are so harassed at night by the
frustrated male youth of Jeddah that they have to take their scarves off and
reveal their raddled faces just to scare them off. The irony of having to show
your face to protect your modesty was entirely lost on them.

I've also
woken up mid-flight on the plane home from Jeddah to London and discovered that
the passengers who embarked in full hijab have all been replaced by Bond Street
babes.

In Saudi Arabia, a woman can't travel abroad, leave the house or
even be examined by a doctor without the express permission of her husband. She
cannot be seen with any man except a close family member, the only exception
being her chauffeur – and that's a necessity because legally she's not permitted
to drive. She cannot marry a non-Muslim (or even a non-Sunni Muslim). And she
cannot wear anything other than a long black cloak and headscarf in public.
Although women account for 70 per cent of all graduates, they make up just 5 per
cent of the workforce. If they contravene the strict laws, they risk public
floggings or execution.

A few years ago, 15 girls died in a school fire
in Mecca because religious police ("The Commission for The Promotion of Virtue
and Prevention of Vice") prevented them from leaving the blazing school building
as they were not wearing correct Islamic dress and there were no relatives
outside to receive them. Apparently the police beat them as they tried to
escape.

Some would say the rules are as inexplicable (not to mention as
unIslamic) as in Afghanistan under the Taliban, where a friend of mine – a
Pakistani journalist – had his pubic hair measured at a check point (with a
stick with duct tape on the end shoved into his shalwar) to see if it was
cropped in accordance with religious custom.

But the difference is that
our government expressed outrage and bombed Afghanistan for their human rights
abuses as well as for harbouring (mostly Saudi) terrorists. And, for good
measure, we bombed Iraq too, at least in part for their human rights abuses and
lack of democracy.

King Abdullah, on the other hand – our Prime
Minister's "friend" with whom, according to Foreign Office Minister Kim Howell,
"we have many values in common" – gets a ceremonial welcome, a couple of
banquets, breakfast with the Queen at Buckingham Palace and meetings with Gordon
Brown, David Cameron and Prince Charles.

The Prime Minister failed to
bring up the subject of human rights or democracy. Or the fact that Saudi Arabia
exports and sponsors an extreme and distorted form of Islam to the rest of the
World.

The madrassahs in Pakistan, which gave rise to the radicalism of
the Taliban, have been funded by Saudi money since the Afghan jihad.

And
a hoard of malignant literature can be found inside as many as a quarter of
Britain's mosques, published and distributed by agencies linked to the
government of King Abdullah. These "education pamphlets" call for, amongst other
measures, the beheading of Muslims who abandon Islam, attacks on homosexuals,
religious segregation of society, for women to stay indoors and interfaith
marriages to be banned.

Nor did our PM mention the persecution of Shias,
homosexuals, non-Muslims, the public floggings, the torture, the detentions
without trial or the maltreatment of migrant workers. Nor the total lack of
freedom of expression and information nor the ban on trade unions, political
opposition and non-Muslim religions.

Does our government really care
about human rights and democracy?

The message is, it's business as
usual, everything forgiven, as long as you're a country which is pro-West,
strategically important, oil rich and able to buy billions of pounds worth of
our arms.

There's nothing new about it. It's not even that surprising.
In fact, our politicians can't even be bothered to offer an excuse.

Britons Protest Visiting Saudi King

Britain's Queen Welcomes Saudi King;
Protesters Condemn Rights Abuses In Kingdom

LONDON, Oct. 30, 2007

----------------------------------------------------

(AP) Queen
Elizabeth II welcomed Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Tuesday with an honor guard
and rode with him to Buckingham Palace in her gilded carriage, passing
protesters who condemned the oil-rich kingdom for alleged human rights abuses.

Before arriving Monday for the first state visit by a Saudi king in two
decades, Abdullah accused Britain of failing to act on intelligence that might
have prevented the 2005 London transit bombings. Analysts said the comments
appeared to be an attempt to distance himself from the extremists and at the
same time pre-empt attacks on Saudi Arabia's record of fighting terrorism.

"I don't think the U.K. should be hosting human rights abusers," said
Anna Jones, 26, who donned a mask of Queen Elizabeth as she joined a row of
dozens of other protesters along the procession route.

Other protesters
yelled and waved banners condemning the British government's "hypocrisy" and
saying: "You can't do this in Riyadh."

Vince Cable, acting leader of the
opposition Liberal Democrats boycotted the visit, claiming the kingdom has a
poor human rights record, especially regarding torture, public executions and
discrimination against women.

Before the ride to the palace, Abdullah
reviewed an honor guard at a parade ground in central London, a lavish welcome
criticized by the demonstrators.

Later at a halal banquet hosted in
Abdullah's honor, the queen spoke of "shared values" and said links between the
two countries' armed forces were "stronger than ever."

Abdullah,
speaking through a translator, praised Britain's "sense of tolerance" and
appealed for its help in securing peace for the Palestinian people.

Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil producer, is an absolute monarchy
where citizens are expected to follow a strict interpretation of Islam.
Convictions of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery carry mandatory
death sentences by beheading.

As the pageantry unfolded in London for
Abdullah's visit, two men convicted of murder were beheaded in the Saudi capital
of Riyadh, bringing to 119 the number of people beheaded by the kingdom this
year.

British officials acknowledge the abuses, but say Saudi Arabia is
their closest ally in the Middle East and Abdullah, 82, is helping it to slowly
reform.

Abdullah was scheduled to meet Prime Minister Gordon Brown
Wednesday to discuss Iraq, the Iran nuclear standoff, the Middle East peace
process and counterterrorism.

A cartoon in The Daily Telegraph on
Tuesday depicted Brown lauding "universal human rights" but bowing to the Saudi
king.

Others accuse Saudi Arabia of spreading ideas that fuel extremism
and terrorism.

The Saudi royal family's legitimacy depends on a
puritanical version of Islam known as Wahhabism. The Saudi royals face the
delicate task of maintaining the approval of some of the same clerics who
inspire al-Qaida-oriented terrorists.

The London-based The Policy
Exchange think tank said in a report published Tuesday that organizations linked
to the Saudi government have been trying to export that puritanical version of
Islam by distributing extremist literature to mosques and Islamic centers in
Britain.

The material called for violence against enemies of Islam,
including women and gays who demand equal rights, according to the think tank.

Abdullah accusation that Britain failed to act on intelligence that
might have prevented the 2005 London transit bombings touched off debate about
the kingdom's response to terror.

British officials denied the king's
claims, saying they received information from Saudi officials but it was not
about the London transit bombings, which killed 52 commuters and four suicide
bombers.

Abdullah's visit has also been clouded by a U.S. investigation
over whether a Saudi prince received kickbacks in an $87 billion arms deal with
a British weapons manufacturer. The British government dropped its own
inestigation after then-Prime Minister Tony Blair said it would put British jobs
in jeopardy and could weaken Saudi cooperation in combating terrorism.

Critics accuse the government of trying to cover up Saudi corruption to
safeguard Britain's financial interests in the country, the biggest market for
British exports in the Middle East.

Blair ordered the investigation be
dropped in December amid news reports that claimed Saudi officials had
threatened to drop plans to buy a new Eurofighter aircraft from British
aerospace firm BAE.

U.S. authorities are still waiting for British
investigators to release their files.
