ATTENDEES GET FREE TICKETS TO ONE (1) STATE EXECUTION

The Arab News reports:

Saudi Arabia will host an international conference on human rights on Oct. 14, the first conference of its kind to be organized with the help of the Saudi government.

The conference will also shed light on the Islamic approach toward human rights.

The conference, the SRCS sources said, seeks to promote Islam as the religion of peace, tolerance and love. Islam is the first to acknowledge the rights of human being — a fact, which can be substantiated by historical evidence, they said.

Maybe. It sure can't be substantiated by a hell of a lot of recent evidence.

Sure it can, Tim, provided you use the arab definition of "human rights", viz the infidels' obligation to surrender to Islamic totalitarianism.

That makes as much sense as the idea of Saudi Arabia hosting a barbeque cook-off and beer-tasting festival. (Mmm...ribs...mmm...beer)

Ernie,

But if the barbecue is a schoolgirl not wearing a proper veil…

There's a certain 'lipstick on a pig' aspect to a "human rights conference" in Saudi Arabia, but... such credit as is due - Islam is a lot more egalitarian than, for instance, Hinduism with its hereditary castes. Or Shintoism, with its god-emperor cult.

And Moslems can barbeque if they want to: chicken, beef ribs, steak, even shrimp. Beer is right out, though. (More for me!)

If one has doubts about condemning Islam read this:
"It is therefore unavoidable that as long as we live here we will, through a
process of cultural osmosis, take on some of the characteristics of the
Kuffar. The likeness of Islam and Kuffar is like that o f fresh clear spring
water and water brought up from the bottom of a suburban sewer. If even a
drop of the filthy water enters the clear water, the clarity diminishes.
Likewise it only takes a drop of the filth of disbelief to contaminate Islam
in the West. If we have it within our means we should therefore consider
moving to a Muslim lan d whereby we can at least live amongst our brethren
and within an Islamic society free from the contamination of the
disbelievers."

Any freaking cult that has ideas like this should have no place in a free society.

Mohammed was the Karl Mrx of his day. Laughed out of the cities as a weirdo, he found his natural consitutency amongst primitive tribesamn. This was unfortunate, he united them under his super tribal but simple simon and inchoate dotcrine of primitive tribalism and his followers went on to overrun the middle east, ensuring it was thrown back into the past; much like the ex bureaucrats and soldiery of the defunct Roman Empire did in the west, via running setting up that protection racket called fuedalism from which france and germany never escaped,Russia also.

Bleeding marvels the whole damn lot of them.
