Man's Inhumanity To Man

Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.

Saudi Arabia Remains on U.N. Human Rights Council despite 19 Beheadings, including One for “Sorcery”

Ask any human rights organization where they stand on chopping off people’s heads and they’ll probably say such actions constitute a violation of human rights.

And yet, one nation that does a lot of beheadings is on the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. Lately, in fact, Saudi Arabia can’t seem to get enough beheadings. Its government has executed at least 19 people using this method since August 4, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Of the 19, eight were found guilty of non-violent offenses; seven for drug smuggling and one for committing sorcery.

“Any execution is appalling, but executions for crimes such as drug smuggling or sorcery that result in no loss of life are particularly egregious,” Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW’s executive director of Middle East and North Africa division, told the International Business Times. “There is simply no excuse for Saudi Arabia’s continued use of the death penalty, especially for these types of crimes.”

The Saudi government executed more than 2,000 people between 1985 and 2013, about half of them foreign nationals. By comparison, the state of Texas executed 504 prisoners, none via beheading, over the same period.

Amnesty International reports that many people are executed after “confessing” to crimes during interrogations involving torture and no legal representation. “That people are tortured into confessing to crimes, convicted in shameful trials without adequate legal support and then executed is a sickening indictment of the Kingdom’s state-sanctioned brutality,” said Said Boumedouha, Deputy Director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Program.

The Saudi government is scheduled to keep a spot on the Human Rights Council for two more years.

Addition Dr. Morris: 

This world traveler, having traveled through most of the 42 Muslim nations of the world has witnessed firsthand the horrors of a false religion... women draped in black from head to foot, peeping through the veil over their face, men whose arms had been severed at the elbow, children running and screaming as any unknown person approaches. In Afghanistan, near the Khyber pass, the so called no mans land, where the famous Khyber rifles are built, I could not understand the obvious hatred in the eyes of the men that worked there. They did not know me, had no reason to hate me. This is satanic captivation at its worst. BUT, I ask you, will God forgive a nation as blessed as America for its obvious unconcern for the sanctity of human life. Just think, since 1973 and the infamous supreme court decision, 53 million American babies have been aborted-murdered... the most innocent of human life. Around the world, over one billion babies aborted. Babies are not aborted in Muslim countries. When I was first in Communist China (I have traveled to Communist China three times since it reopened), I was told the creeks were full of babies, mostly female babies. Since the Chinese government allows one baby per family, each family seems to prefer a boy. My Chinese guide told me that her sisters husband had strangled five of their own children at birth because they were girls.

There is so much hypocrisy in the world, political, financial, spiritual, that one could write books about it, perhaps the most radical political philosophy that the government leaders of America still has a smooching relationship with Saudi Arabia. Just think of these hypocrites-in-chief, so called Republicans, Bush #41 and Bush #43, and their coziness with the Saudi Arabian princes. Those five thousand princes of Saudi royalty who rule everything and live in a disgusting "Aurora of Riches". The lowly non-royal people of the country are not allowed to even look straight at a prince, women cannot drive a car... go out in public unless accompanied by a male. Stupid American government sends its citizens over to work and they must live in a special area fenced off from contact with the people.

Liberal Americans want to be so tolerant, "just bring on your mosque, your Sharia laws" and of course hypocrisy is not confined to Western Civilizations. Mohammed permits lying, cheating, stealing, if it promotes the Muslim religion. Just think of this, have you ever wondered why so many Muslim boys are named Mohammed. This name assures any male of heaven. We have a president who is a Muslim, or at the very least a Muslim sympathizer. Just think, in my lifetime, Russian President Mr. Putin wears a christian cross, Mr. Obama, when not on the golf course, gives his attention to the inhuman Muslim faith.

Most advanced civilizations consider schizophrenia a mental disorder. Facets of the Muslim religion are a mental disorder. I appreciate the fact that Muslims do not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, use illegal-addictive social drugs. But, the fact that Muslims will load up their own children with explosives that will kill large groups of people, chop off limbs, behead their enemies, drags them kicking and screaming from the world of civilized people.

I remember, as if yesterday, a building in Tunis, Tunisia, a gold market. A Muslim woman, covered head to foot, I could tell under her veil that she was wearing glasses, so remarkably inquisitive, asked me about my eyesight... something a Muslim woman is not permitted to do, speak to any strange male. Remember, Jesus died for these people too.
