This is not a joke. Well, it is, but it is true. "U.N. Report Demands Repeal of Counterterrorism Laws to Promote 'Gender Equality,'" by Joseph Abrams for FoxNews, October 21 (thanks to Jed Babbin):
In case you weren't sure, human gender is "changeable over time and contexts," sex slaves must not be "stigmatized" for their work, and it's important to recognize the role of "transgender and intersex individuals as stakeholders" in counterterrorism policy.Those are some of the conclusions of a United Nations report on counterterrorism that is intended to promote human rights -- but that critics say is designed to redefine gender and hamstring actual counterterror efforts.
Martin Scheinin, a special rapporteur for the U.N.'s Human Rights Council, filed his report in August after six months of studying the "complex relationship between gender equality and countering terrorism."
Scheinin recommends a radical reworking of counterterrorism policies, insisting that the U.N.'s member nations "abandon the 'war paradigm'" and "enshrine the principles of gender-equality and non-discrimination in the design and implementation of all counter-terrorism measures."
Among his proposals:
• "Repeal all counter-terrorism measures" that sanction the ill-treatment of women and children as a way to put pressure on terror suspects within their families.
• Loosen terror financing laws to ensure "safe and effective channels for funding ... of organizations devoted to gender equality"
• "Repeal restrictive immigration controls" that violate human rights by "unduly penalizing transgender persons whose personal appearance and data are subject to change" as their "self-defined gender identity" changes.
Critics say the suggestions are part of an "absolutely insane" agenda at the U.N. that too often seems intent on undermining efforts to blot out terrorism across the globe.
"I would be surprised and disturbed if the U.S. took any of these recommendations seriously," said Steven Groves, a fellow and international law expert at the Heritage Foundation.
"It seems an inescapable conclusion that their desire is to greatly weaken any effective counterterrorism measure that is made by the U.S. or its allies."
The report criticized enhanced security checks "that focus attention on male bombers who may be dressing as females to avoid scrutiny [and] make transgender persons" -- who might also be crossdressing -- "susceptible to increased harassment and suspicion."...
Scheinin is set to present his findings Monday morning to the U.N.'s 3rd Committee, which helps set policy on social and cultural issues and oversees the Human Rights Council for the world body.
The Finnish law professor has been a special rapporteur since 2005. This year he visited Egypt as part of his mandate for the 47-member Council, and criticized countries like Somalia and Pakistan for selling out women's rights to arrange a tenuous peace with Islamic militants....
Past reports from the special rapporteur have focused on many issues relating to women -- including the challenges faced by pregnant Palestinians trying to cross border checkpoints and the effects of counterterror measures on Chechnyan women.
But U.N. watchers say the new report is a confused amalgamation of important issues like women's rights and tangential ones that have very little real application, including Scheinin's demand that invasions like the U.S.'s "war on terror" in Afghanistan be "actually responsive to the concerns of women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex individuals in local contexts."...
Two quotes seem the most important here:
1) "Repeal all counter-terrorism measures" that sanction the ill-treatment of women and children as a way to put pressure on terror suspects within their families.
Doubtlessly, "ill-treatment" is more often than not tendentiously defined and thus exaggerated (a la equating Abu Ghraib's naked pyramids with the real torture that goes on in Muslim countries).
...
2) The report criticized enhanced security checks "that focus attention on male bombers who may be dressing as females to avoid scrutiny [and] make transgender persons" -- who might also be crossdressing -- "susceptible to increased harassment and suspicion."...
Instead of throwing transgender persons under the bus (not to mention gays, women, animals and the environment), as Leftists usually do when they have to protect Muslims, here they found an ingenious way to dovetail the two together. They're getting more yoga-pretzelly creative, inventing new positions all based on the original amazing gymnastic feat of bending over backwards while bowing down to offer up their ass.

Even for the crackpots at the UN, this guy is one of the more extreme fruitloops......
""Repeal restrictive immigration controls" that violate human rights by "unduly penalizing transgender persons whose personal appearance and data are subject to change" as their "self-defined gender identity" changes."
I cannot think of a country that bans Muslim slave eunuchs nor Muslim terrorists dressed in burkahs......
A petition must be drawn to relieve the American people of this vile, contemptuous, destructive organization from being housed on American soil. An enema of Reason must be inserted into the compliant backside of American self preservation discharging this virus called the United Nations into a toilet of Islamic, Arab nationality where the definition of its work to subvert American ideals exists.
This twisted nonsense sounds suspiciously like some valley girl term paper in some college course that would be entitled: "Lesbian sado-masochism and the evolution of Elizabethan feminism" - TT 9-10:30 3 credits, Tammany Hall, Dr. Wolfgang Schmageggy.
A synopsis of everything that is wrong with the Western world.
Which lunatics asylum did Scheinin escape from?
sex slaves must not be "stigmatized" for their work,
I have been saying that for years...
"I would be surprised and disturbed if the U.S. took any of these recommendations seriously," said Steven Groves,
Really?...Don't count on it...'Hope and change' have changed all of that...
"Repeal all counter-terrorism measures" that sanction the ill-treatment of women and children as a way to put pressure on terror suspects within their families.
How about rephrasing this nonsensical s*** as "repeal all vicious ideologies" that sanction the ill-treatment of women and children as a way of pleasing the imaginary alter-ego of a most-likely also imaginary child-molesting pseudo-prophet? Oh, for the UN (United Arab and Arab scrotum-licking Nations) to state something like that it would be an attack on one of its core functions.
This is the "Ass-hat" that introduced the UN Protection of human rights and fundamental
freedoms while countering terrorism, "UN Human Rights Resolution 2005/80" making the job for our boys overseas that much more difficult.
I think this is his last year. Of course the UNHRC is probably enjoying the job he's been doing dismantling policy that they'll extend his term another five years.
"Keep up the good work, there, you Finnish, terrorist-loving ass-hat!
Just another scam to embrace Islamic terror.
Scheinin recommends a radical reworking of counterterrorism policies, insisting that the U.N.'s member nations "abandon the 'war paradigm'"
So does this mean that Islam will abandon it's 1400 year old jihad against the rest of the world?
I'm beginning to think that the UN should relocate. That's a valuable peace of real estate in NYC and perhaps the delegates would gain "real world" experience if the UN was located in say.................. Kabul?
Tanstaafl, I think the home of the one Rubik's cube that disordered mahoundian minds can solve, and around which they dance as the brain-dead zombies, should be an option too After all, the UN doesn't do anything which is not approved by the cube-worshippers...
Yeah, but that would mean that kuffars could wander around Mecca and the Holy Shrine! Haram! Haram!
I sense a riot coming on..............
After reading something like this, it is difficult to accept that we are all members of the same species. Apparently some Homo erecti slipped through the evolutonary time warp and continue to function among us, though interestingly appearing like Homo sapiens, congregating at places like the UN and Taliban camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Does anyone even know what he's talking about in terms of real-world examples? Once again, we're living Ionesco's Rhinoceros, where the Rhinoceros is Islam.
His argument (to the extent outright insanity can be termed argument) seems to be that US occupation has set back the cause of women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, interspecial, intergalactic hermaphrodite, and binary gonadal rights in places like Afghanistan.
That's madness on stilts. Getting it disseminated by the UN proves it's contagious. The only thing to do is stock up on canned food, duct tape your doors and windows, and wait for giant space rocks to solve this problem.
I thought it impossible to top the lunacy of the U.N. but
this is the U.N. on drugs.
And how will all those gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) people fare when idiocy like this derails those counter-terrorism measures, and further enables the unchecked rise of Islam?
Will we have to worry more about the stigmatization of sex slaves, simply because there will be so many more of them under Islam?
The idea that it is *the West* that is oppressing and stigmatizing transgendered people and sex slaves--especially vis-a-vis Islam and Shari'ah--is utterly mind-boggling.
The only real question is whether Martin Scheinin is actually down with the stealth Jihad, or whether he is just so deep in the PC bubble that he has become totally divorced from reality.
Suicidal twaddle, in any case. Even by the Alice-in-Wonderland standards of the UN, this is utter madness.
As a Muslim, transgender, homoerotic, burqua wearing,hermaphrodite,suicide terrorist, sex slave I absolutely think this is the most brilliant piece of legislation to come before the UN since its inception.There are many like me out there ! Do not be so narrow minded. I think most people who visit this site would think the same if they are of sound mind and morals. By the way I am looking for someone similiar to date - but only for a short while !
It's hard to believe that people occupy fancy offices in the U.N. and employ dozens of aides to do studies on crap like this. I'm guessing that people with alternative sexual orientations comprise maybe 1% of the global population and this idiot wants to abandon all measures of self-defense against the global enemy, muslim terrorists, so they won't be humiliated if they are searched or screened. This takes identity politics, political correctness, and "minority" rights to the level of utter absurdity. It's like saying: "It would be preferable for thousands of people to die at the hands of muslim terrorists than to embarrass one member of a small minority group."
What in the hell does this mean?:
Loosen terror financing laws to ensure "safe and effective channels for funding ... of organizations devoted to gender equality"
Surely this moron is not suggesting that if the terrorists had more money, they would donate it to organizations promoting gender equality! Muslims don't even believe in gender equality between straight males and females; those with alternative sexual orientations are considered perverts and freaks who should be killed! Or maybe he is suggesting that seized terror funds be channelled to gender equality organizations. But there wouldn't be any seized funds if the "war" is abandoned, would there?
Idiotic, stupid, inane, delusional...flush the UN.

Advocacy groups for the gay/lesbian/transgender communities need money. Martin Scheinin (a very, very sick man) is proposing establishment of the leftocratic apparatus necessary to give them access to public funds. (And probably no dissenting views on whether this would be good thing would be entertained. In fact, dissenters might even be prosecuted.)
The U.N. is more concerned about supposed inequality in counterterrorist measures than in REAL inequality under Islam. Chilling but not surprising.
