The UN is doubling down on its efforts to stamp out so-called “Islamophobia.” While the UN advocates “policies that fully respect human rights and religious, cultural and unique human identity,” it makes no mention of the vast abuses of those rights which are routinely perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam across the world. Normative Islam creates no space for human rights, religious rights and equal rights for all. The ignoring of these critical issues by the UN should be glaring to every observer.
Renewed UN efforts against “Islamophobia” come on the heels of Pakistan (infamous for its cruel blasphemy laws) joining the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for the first-ever “International Day to Combat Islamophobia.”
A claim was also made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that “Islamophobia” and ‘anti-Muslim bigotry’ has risen to ‘epidemic proportions.'” But he provided no evidence.
Back in April 2019, the UN adopted a resolution to highlight the claim that “Islamophobia poses a threat to global peace.” The resolution, which decried the New Zealand mosque attack, was co-sponsored by Pakistan. It “strongly” condemned “continuing violence and acts of terrorism targeting individuals, including persons belonging to religious minorities, based on religion or belief.” One would think that such wording was referring to the genocide of Christians by Muslims in Africa and the Middle East, as well as the persecution of other religious minorities, including Ahmadis). But the resolution was aimed solely at so-called “Islamophobia.”
Globalist leaders who embrace the “Islamophobia” subterfuge are severely undermining the human rights of “infidels,” “kaffirs,” and “apostates” everywhere, while empowering the jihad and the OIC’s Islamic supremacism.
More on this story. “UN leaders speak out against Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred,” UN News, March 17, 2021:
Underlining that “diversity is a richness, not a threat”, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for greater investment in promoting social cohesion and tackling bigotry in a message on Wednesday to mark the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
“We must continue to push for policies that fully respect human rights and religious, cultural and unique human identity”, he said in a pre-recorded video broadcast during a commemorative event held online, organized by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
“As the Holy Quran reminds us: nations and tribes were created to know one another.”
‘Epidemic’ of hatred
Nearly 60 countries are members of the OIC, which designated 15 March as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.The Secretary-General cited a recent report to the UN Human Rights Council which found that suspicion, discrimination and outright hatred towards Muslims has risen to “epidemic proportions”.
Examples listed included disproportionate restrictions against Muslims manifesting their beliefs, limits on accessing citizenship, and widespread stigmatization of Muslim communities.
The study also highlighted how Muslim women face “triple levels of discrimination” because of their gender, ethnicity and faith, he added, while the media and some persons in power have further compounded stereotypes.
‘Distressing trends’ globally
“Anti-Muslim bigotry is sadly in line with other distressing trends we are seeing globally – a resurgence in ethno-nationalism, neo-Nazism, stigma and hate speech targeting vulnerable populations including Muslims, Jews, some minority Christian communities as well as others”, the Secretary-General said.Stressing that “discrimination diminishes us all”, the UN chief called for safeguarding the rights of minority communities, many of whom are under threat.
“As we move toward evermore multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies, we need political, cultural and economic investments to strengthen social cohesion and tackle bigotry,” he stated.
The Secretary-General underscored that fighting discrimination, racism and xenophobia is a priority for the United Nations.
Promoting respect among religions
Following a fall-out in relations between many Muslim countries and some Western nations in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States – and subsequent attacks in London, Madrid and Bali – the Organization established the UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) in 2005.Miguel Ángel Moratinos, the current UNAOC High Representative, recalled the initiative was launched as a “political soft power tool” whose objectives include promoting mutual respect among diverse cultures and religions.
“Despite progress made in building bridges of understanding through the promotion of intercultural and interfaith dialogue, manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred persisted and morphed into different forms”, he said.
“Islamophobia cannot be seen in isolation from the worrying increase in xenophobia and hate speech against minorities including immigrants and other faith communities.”
Mr. Moratinos said mutual respect, interfaith harmony and peaceful co-existence can be achieved “when there is broad space for everyone to practice the rituals of their religions or beliefs freely and safely.”
Solidarity, equality, respect
For the President of the UN General Assembly, Turkish diplomat Volkan Bozkir, any form of discrimination, including based on religion or belief, “is a deeply personal attack”.
He urged countries to re-commit to the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other related instruments, expressing hope that they will lay the foundation for national laws to end hate speech and hate crimes.
“Today our conversation is focused on Islamophobia, but the source of this scourge is a source that imperils us all. The answer is solidarity, equality, and respect for the equal dignity and entitlement to fundamental human rights of every individual”, he said.
Mr. Bozkir added that protecting people from extremism requires a global strategy that includes defeating all forms of violent ideologies.
He called for building resilience to discriminatory, exclusionary, and intolerant teachings, and developing respect for the religious and cultural practices of others. ….

Here’s the elephant in the room: Islam refers to me and 6 billion other people using hate speech: “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, ……..” (Al Qur’an 8:55) So, non-Muslims are the vilest of animals ……..??
It’s time for Islam to clear up its own hate speech and phobia before pointing an accusing finger at others! Clowns!
mortimer says
The ‘elephant’ is that between five and ten jihadic ATTACKS take place every day of the year in which up to 50 people are killed and wounded. Islam is one of the biggest persecutors in the world today with Christians being the favorite target for persecution.
Those who try to portray Islam as benign are bold-faced liars.

mortimer. – What a disgusting fraud is this Muslim charade in the disgusting United Nations! Thousands murdered all over Africa BY MUSLIMS in Nigeria, Niger, Congo, Mali, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Kenya, Somalia, Libya, but no, the wailing is about poor Muslims -who are doing the murdering. Does any country other than Canada take these Muslim liars seriously?

Brando says
1.Also 33% of countries are MUSLIM or at least have important Muslim minority,they are 57 countries in all.
2.Those 57 countries are Members of OIC ( Organizations of Islamic Countries).
3.Those 57 countries have signed the 1990 “Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam”. The Declaration says Human Rights are Subject to ISLAMIC Law ( Sharia ).
gravenimage says
Yes–the “Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam” is actually a *negation* of human rights.
Brando says
Definitely,and Part of Islamic Law is FGM( Female Genital Mutilation):
It appears in Several HADITHS (sayings ) of Muhammed, not Obligatory but RECOMMENDED.
THEREFORE
200 MILLION Muslim women in 30 countries ( including 90% of women in the Most Populated Muslim Country, INDONESIA ,which is 270 million in Total! )
have had their Clitoris Cut Out by Other Muslim WOMEN so they can’t feel pleasure.
And 90% of women in EGYPT: Arab country with the Largest Population: 100 MILLION
PLUS
FGM , also called Female Circumcision , is APPROVED by All 4 Sunni Religious Schools ( Sunnis are 90% of Muslims):
1.SHAFI : where it is OBLIGATORY
2.HABAFI: recommended
3.MALIKI: recommended
4.HANBALI: recommended

Grimly true, Brando.
Dude says
I don’t see why they can’t understand that the constant killing, robbing, raping, enslaving in Nigeria, India, Britain, everywhere just sends a message to the world, instantaneously over the internet.
To expect the world to tolerate such evil, to not fear such evil is simply ludicrous. They try to intimidate us, and then complain that we feel intimidated.
They need to believe that we are as stupid as they are. I can’t wait to see the sedition trials that will close down their invasion plans everywhere.
Infidel says
Lately, India’s envoys have been protesting about not protecting dharmaic religions, like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. Can’t even one country take up the cause of Christianity and Judaism at the UN? Armenia? Poland? Hungary? Philippines? Israel?
Rob Porter says
Dude. – so where are the ‘brave’ representatives of Western countries telling these Muslim bastards to stop talking crap?
Civilization is slipping away and the Western through its cowardly silence is contributing. Back in 1978 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was right was condemning Western cowardice.

Cheers and congratulations, Greek Empress ?????
And keep it going, against Turkey, who’s trying to reconquer you
(I took the liberty of using fireworks, assuming that you’re not too woke to think that one night of fireworks will pollute the air and move us closer towards climate change than ever ?)

Yes, a hearty congratulations – break out the Ouzo!
For fellow Jihad Watch readers:
Greece had been part of the Ottoman Empire since 1453 – and the Greek revolt was precipitated on March 25, 1821…

Many Westerners supported the Greek fight for freedom.

Congratulations on inventing civilization three thousand years ago and quitting the unhealthy Ottoman habit Empress, now if you could just ask your Emperor husband to fix the sad situation on the other side of the Bosporus and possibly restore Greek Byzantium civilization there as well that would be wonderful.

Thanks, GB!

“diversity is a richness, not a threat”…..and indeed thousands of young British girls in Rotherham, Rochdale, Bradford, Luton, Oxford, Telford,……..have had their lives ‘enriched’ by the those ‘superior’ Disciples of the Great Prophet of Mecca, as indeed did many with that added dramatic interlude at the Manchester Arena concert, not to mention those little pieces of street drama on London and Westminster bridges, the London Underground, not to forget the decapitation of a French teacher in a Paris street and all the hundreds of little diversions that happen annually worldwide. We’re all impressed, but not the way the UN might like to think.
Mike says
let me put it this way
the Islamophobia will continue until Islam changes it’s ways
Islamophobia will continue until Islam stops screaming death to America, Jews, Christens and non believers
I will never follow Islam it offers no peace or unity
Woman are equals
so the Islamophobia will continue until Islam makes digastric changes and changes it’s ways
just like the beatings will continue until the attitudes improve
mortimer says
Islam has played the victim whenever Islamic supremacy meets an obstacle to its advance. However, Islam is not a religion of ‘losers’, but of ‘winners’ according to the source text.
The goal of Islam is political power and the UN’s muddled thinking on the subject is led by practiced liars promoting a fake victimology.
americanpatriot says
(a) Islamophobia does not kill people of other faith for being non-Muslim as Muslim terrorists do.
(b) Islamophobia does not discriminate others for being a non-Muslim like Muslims do everyday in their Muslim-majority countries.
(c) Islamophobia does not wage migrant-jihad and invade into non-Muslim lands for spreading Islam like Muslim migrants are doing in EU, Asia and Africa.
(d) Islamophobia is a positive sign for non-Islamic world that people are waking up to true, violent, hateful nature of real Islam as contained in their holy texts and daily acts of devout people belonging to Islam.

UN leaders speak out against Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred
……………..
And yet, it is Muslims who are slaughtering Christians and Hindus. No mention of this.
Aussie Infidel says
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, claims that “Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry has risen to epidemic proportions”. But Guterres is a communist and Muslim sympathizer
Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry are simply a propaganda terms used by Muslims to intimidate and silence their opponents by alleging they have an irrational dislike and fear of Islam. But what is irrational about disliking and fearing an ideology whose holy scriptures incite its followers to hate and even kill non-Muslims? Muslims always portray themselves as victims, but practise stealth jihad to infiltrate Western societies and institutions.
But what else could we expect from the unholy alliance of Marxists and Muslims who run the UN? They both want to conquer the world – the Marxists for communism, and the Muslims for Allah – and then they’ll end up fighting each other.
There will never be peace and respect between people while these totalitarian ideologues continue to harbor hatred and hostility toward those who value freedom rather than political or religious servitude.
Andrew Blackadder says
The Head Man at the United Nations refers to the “Holy” Quran, though hes probably a Catholic… has he been speaking with the Pope recently?.
No words yet on the thousands and thousands of Christians slaughtered by muslims and the burning of their HOLY Bible…
OLD GUY says
How interesting how they continue the lies that islam is a religion of love and peace. Next thing you know someone will be putting Hitler up for saint hood, his plan for world control and eliminating the Jewish people follows the same ideology of islam.
