Muslim bloc to set up human rights commission
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference, a bloc of 57 Muslim states, has announced plans to establish its own “independent” human tights commission. This is the same bunch of tyrants that wants to outlaw criticism of Islam around the world.
Eklemeddin İhsanoğlu, the OIC Secretary-General, stressed in a statement Monday that “human rights and man’s dignity are an integral part of Islam and core components of Islamic culture and heritage.”

“An OIC human rights commission would promote tolerance, and fundamental freedoms, good governance, the rule of law, accountability, openness, dialogue with other religions and civilizations, the rejection of extremism and fanaticism, and the strengthening of the sense of pride in the Islamic identity,” he said.
In view of the following, it’s impossible to take any of that seriously.
[O]f the 57 [OIC member states], only six – Benin, Guyana, Indonesia, Mali, Senegal and Suriname – are deemed “free” according to Freedom House assessment. The democracy watchdog scores all nations annually for political rights and civil liberties, classifying them as either “free,” “partly free” or “not free.”
More reasons not to trust the OIC when it comes to human rights:
- Muslim women around the world face crisis over violence
- Afghan Christians worship in secret
- Two imprisoned Iranian Christians in poor health
- Systematic persecution campaign against Palestinian Christians
- Sabatina James at centre of conflict between Islam and human rights
- Regulation of Muslim marriages needed to protect women
- Ladies, cover your entire body, except one eye: Saudi cleric
- Easter for secret believers
