How 45 Nations violated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

On December 10, 1948, the newly formed United Nations issued forth the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the aim of protecting the basic rights of life, liberty, equality, and pursuit of happiness for all people in all nations.  However, in 1990, 45 Islamic nations met in Cairo in an event known as the Organization of the Islamic Conference.  At this conference, these nations drafted their own declaration called the Cairo Declaration or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under Islam.  It very plainly states that Sharia (Islamic Law) supersedes all so-called man-made rights constructs.  This was done for the specific purpose of defying the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  


The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Cairo Declaration are polar opposites.  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a civilized code of ethics pioneered by Western Democracies of the modern world that demands dignity for all people and human rights for all, regardless of faith, skin color, or race.  

The Cairo Declaration conforms to Sharia and is not compatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Islamic Law, which is derived from the Qur’an, and Hadith literature, does not agree with the dignity and equal rights of all.  Islam explicitly demands supremacy of Muslims over all people.  Islamic Law sanctions slavery (including sex-slavery), the repression of women, and polygamy.  In truth, many Muslims also find these practices shameful and attempt to prove that Islam does not sanction these practices, but the Islamic writings make it explicitly clear that this is not the case.  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights cannot be amended to the inhumane practices mandated under Sharia Law.  If these nations refuse to abide by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, then they cannot be permitted to partake in the decisions and resolutions that are are brought forth by the United Nations.

"'I worked 40 years.' and 'I worked all my life to give my family a better home, and they treat me like  [expletive].'"   A family member of Majeda Kassem said there was constant verbal abuse going on in the home - adding that Kassem's wife contemplated leaving, but stayed for the sake of her children.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
