Rest assured with the president’s smart diplomacy, this problem will soon be remedied: Islamic States Walk Out Of U.N. Meeting On Violence Against Gays…
(Reuters) — Brushing aside high-level UN appeals for cooperation to halt murder and violence against gays and lesbians around the globe, Muslim and Arab countries on Wednesday stalked out of a Human Rights Council panel to tackle the issue.
Speaking before the walkout for the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Pakistan described homosexuality as “licentious behavior” while African group leader Senegal said it was not covered by global human rights accords.
. . . .
The walkout, which diplomats said not all countries in the Islamic and African groups joined, was the first by three major blocs in the 47-member council, which has been dominated until recently by a caucus of developing countries and their allies.
Another sign that this Council has become little more than a pathetic joke, with member states unwilling to address a real human rights’ issue. Let’s hope the president and his foreign policy team speak out on the matter and insist that those nations who walked out return to the table — and mend their policies so that gay men and lesbians can live free and openly — without fear of attack from their fellow citizens. Or their government.
Homophobia as self-incrimination.
The USA ought to get out of the UN. If that is not conceivable, then we should put the headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and pay about 5% of the bill instead of 25%. Thereafter, the UN building can be utilized for a good purpose, housing businesses.
Not only with His smart diplomacy, but with all that Queers for Palestine type activity.
I mean, didn’t some leftie gay blather the other day, that once Muslims see gays acting against Israel, Muslim hearts and minds will be changed toward us? Talk about appeasement.
This should show the rest of the world what is in store if and muslims have any significant presence within their borders. Sharia Law will prevail. Western nations should keep muslim migration to a minimum. I have little hope that they will. So, the United States should consider withdrawing from the U.N. Until we do the reason we need a conservative President , not only for nominations to SCOTUS, but reappoint John Bolton as Ambassador to the U.N. He defended our interest and tried to get our money´s worth. davinci is right on move it and and pay only 5%. If we are paying 25% of the budget, which nation is the next highest, and how many free loaders are members?
Well it makes perfect sense to them. To the Islamic states, gays aren’t human, so why do we need to discuss ‘human rights’ for them?
It’s akin to how some people believe ‘Arabians’ are incapable of democracy.
These GayLeftLib borgs will think differently once a wall is dropped on them, or they are hanged in the village square per Sharia law.
Either they are morally bankrupt, intellectually bankrupt or both.
Sheesh!!

That is a good example of how Obama Party moral relativists see the world, ILC.
Obama gays know that their belief in a cause has nothing to do with the cause itself, but to advance Obama Party rule and power. Hence they think the Palestinians only hate Jews because Israel won’t give them power.
What they don’t realize is that that hatred is going to exist whether they get power or not, because it is rooted in an objective and deep-dwelling principle that Jews are to be exterminated, regardless of whether Palestinians have a state or not.
I am no friend to Islam. On my own curmudgeonly blog, my “Islamophobia” is plain for all to see. I have read the Koran, some of the hadith, know the basics of Muslim theology and importantly, the history of Islam. So I am definitely not a supporter of that expansionist totalitarian parasitic theocracy, the Religion of Un-Peace. Mmmkay?
However, were I a Muslim leader looking at the West, I’d be wondering if loosening up a little today would bring me to the same situation we now see in Europe and the Americas. In Canada, merely publishing the links to the Biblical passages condemning same-sex acts can get you fined and put under a lifetime speech ban.
Same for the position of women. Would I want to set out on a path that would provide me with my own homegrown Mohammedan versions of The View, RoseAnne Barr, Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama and Ms Fluke?
Stone me for saying it, but I can see their point.

mMusims want to obliterate the State of Israel. They want to exterminate the Jews wherever and kill Christians who refuse to convert to Islam. Islam expanded in the seventh century all across northern Africa and southern Spain by use of the sword, ¨convert or die.¨ Having read the Koran and knowing its history it makes me wonder how can supposedly well educated westerners embrace this religion of hate. Yet, when some white supremists spouts nazisms we are scandalized because it is unacceptable.
Just look at Iraq. No sooner are the US troops gone and the slaughter of homosexuals begins.
From the Orginasation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq and the Iraqi LGB T:
“New barbaric attacks started against the Iraqi LGBT in many cities like Baghdad and Basra while using inhumane methods such as hitting the head and body parts of gay victims with building concrete blocks repeatedly till death or by pushing them over high building roof which took place in Basra city. The actions of killings, torture, and dismembering against those who were described as “adulterous” by Islamic Shia militias, besides hanging lists on the walls of several sections in Al-Sadr city and in Al-Habibea region, had all terrorized the society at large and especially the Iraqi LGBT community, knowing that those attacks are directed against anyone suspected with gay practices or appearance.
“The first killings took place on the sixth of February 2012 and continued or rather escalated till the current days. One of the hanged lists in Al-Sadr city included the names and addresses of 33 person, while other lists included other tens of names in other areas. News confirmed that 42 gay men were tortured and killed so far, mostly by concrete blocks, while some by dismembering.
“The Islamic militias in Iraq believe that the religious family should consist of a male husband and a female wife, and is the cornerstone of building a pious Islamic society. Such an institution is handed to the males to rule and control. Under such an institution, they deny the right-to-life, or rather they command a death sentence against all who do not fit under the religious description of a family.
“Based on those rules, the campaigns of honor killings happen against women and LGBT under the same token. Just as women face honour killing as a result of extra marital affairs, the lesbians and the gays face the same destiny because of their sexual practices which do not relate to marriage.
“We call on all freedom-lovers of the world, the women’s and human rights organization and governments in the advanced world to put pressure on the Iraqi government to provide protection to the lgbt in Iraq, and establish legislation for defending their right to life, and criminalizing all aggressions against them. We demand also a full enquiry into the groups and criminal behind the killing campaign and that they get full punishment from the legal and correctional system.”

The leftist supporting Islam are ignorant and so full of themselves that they are blind to Islamic reality.
i have a question for all of you gays. you don’t like conservatives and will not support conservative politicans because they don’t approve of homosexuality but you support liberal politicans that support people that want to kill you for being homosexual, what the hell kind of sense does that make?
