UN official says human rights abuses "systematic" under Sharia in Mali

What? The whole Sharia regime has apparently been instituted by Misunderstanders of Islam who don't realize that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Western principles of human rights. How odd!

"Mali: Human rights abuses in are now ‘more systematic’ - U.N.," from Xinhua, October 12 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

UNITED NATIONS (Xinhua) -- A senior UN official said here Wednesday that the pattern of human rights violations in Mali is now “more systematic,” and called for the government to re- take control of the rebel-held northern part of the West African country.

“The pattern of human rights violations is changing,” Ivan Simonovic, the UN assistant secretary-general for human rights, said at a press conference here. “What is new now is that humans rights violations are becoming more systematic.”

The press conference took place following Simonovic’s four-day visit to Mali to assess the human rights situation there.

Simonovic, a Croatian diplomat and former Croatian justice minister, was appointed in May 2010 the UN assistant secretary- general for human rights

Islamic militants have established a strict Sharia law in the north following an unplanned coup in April, and the “population is suffering a number of human rights violations, particularly targeted at women,” said Simonovic.

Under the strict laws, women are facing restrictions in the ability to work, an increase in forced marriages and drastic punishments, he said.

Children are also quite vulnerable in this situation, he said, “there is reliable evidence of many children being enlisted” as child soldiers....

"Mali conflict risk to western Africa"

(inc 2 min video clip).

[Excerpt]:

"Much of Western Africa is at risk of the same political conflicts that are plaguing Mali, coming under the influence of Islamic hardliners. Northern Mali is already in the hands of the Ansar Dine Salafist group, allied to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

"In the space of six months, a quarter of a million people have fled Mali for refugee camps or the outskirts of cities in Niger, Burkina Faso or Senegal."

Islam is anti human rights, end of story. Islam is thieving barbaric savagery cloaked in the guise of religion.

I submitted the following articles to the UNRWA Facebook page. The next day the articles were gone and I was locked out from being able to post anything.

Our Fearless Leader's intro to this article is - like almost every other one of his lately here at JW - dripping with sarcasm. Taken en mass, they reveal a defiance and a righteous anger that practically every one of us in the anti-Jihad share. But I think they may also reveal a sense of fatigue. Who could blame him for feeling so?

Robert is the public face of the anti-Jihad. He has been literally carrying the movement on his shoulders for almost a decade, bearing the daily brunt of attacks from a multitude of sources, including death threats. He would have to be superman not to have become at least somewhat worn down.

On the other hand, Robert possesses something that 99% of the rest of humanity doesn't...and that is the knowledge that he's working for something noble and worth-while, that his presence in this cause is absolutely critical, and that he IS making a very real difference in the lives of so many.

So please Fearless Leader, on those occasions when you might wonder whether it's all worth the trouble, please know that it's not just the depth of your knowledge that inspires your disciples, it's your character, your defiance and your courage, displayed daily against an onslaught of calumnies, misrepresentations, and hatred. A lessor man could never be so loved....and so hated.

Sharia by it's very nature is abusive...Sharia is a control freak...Control freaks are always abusive and domineering...
Sharia reflects the essence of Allah and the 'messenger, apostle, prophet and warner, Mahound, who in reality are one and the same...Allah cannot control kufr without violence, and intimidation...Sharia calls for both...The floggings will continue until everyone on the planet loves Allah...
Sharia is the whip, and the prison...

I totally agree with everything you say about Mr. Spencer; I admire him immensely, as I do Ms Geller, and other freedom fighters like Geert Wilders et al, their integrity and courage is inspiring.

I do rather take agin being described as a ''disciple'', or ''follower'' though.

It rather implies we merely follow Mr. Spencer blindly, whilst I'm sure the majority of people here, and all those who are starting to see through this evil cult, have reached their positions, certainly helped **immensely** by JW and other freedom blogs, by simple observations of how muslims all too often behave, and a study of the vile tenets of islam.

For myself, islam and muslims crossed my radar for the first time, because of 9/11, and even more strongly by the **unbelievably insolent** announcement of the attempt to build a *mosque* at Ground Zero.

That appalled me so much I googled for anti-islam sites, and came across Jihad Watch.

I read most of the other freedom blogs, but JW remains my first love because of Mr. Spencer's writing style and sense of humour, but also because of the generally high quality of the majority of comments and commenters here. I have learned a tremendous amount about islam and its devotees, from these commenters, and from Mr. Spencer's articles, and commentary.

So why is the UN becoming a sharia compliant institution if sharia law leads to human rights abuses?

Like the vast majority of readers & posters on JW,
I deplore & detest Islam as a murderous, hateful, criminal
creed whose ideology has been foisted upon an uneducated,
ignorant group of people called Muslims.

I have the utmost respect for Robert Spencer and all those
good folks who have taken the time to post their opinions
here at JW. I myself would be desirous of posting more often
but for the fact that by the time JW first comes to my
computer, my posting would be rendered rather "late".

My greatest wish is for Islam to be forever banished to
garbage heap of history where it truly belongs. Sadly,
wishing it will not cut it. IMO, our best hope would be for
a resolute American public to vote into office politicos
who understand the danger that islam presents to ALL
civilized nations. Sad to say that neither of our two
political parties have the courage to come right out and
say: "ISLAM IS THE ENEMY" also: "ISLAM HAS BEEN AT WAR WITH
ALL NON-MUSLIMS FOR THE PAST 1400 YEARS".

Peace, Paul R.

My wife and I, having served in Mali as protestant missionaries for nearly 44 years, understand clearly what is happening in that country. We keep in contact with the pastor of Timbuktu who has fled there, along with the Christians in his congregation, and are in Bamako, the Capital. For further info concerning his testimony contact:
