The qur’an (القرآن‎) vs. the declaration of human rights.

Monday, 8. March 2010


SHOCKING VIDEO , A MUST WATCH video.google.com Declaration of human rights vs the quran. This is a video contrasting the UN Declaration of Human Rights with the anti-life values of the Quran. It is especially relevant today as the UN Human Rights council continues to pass resolutions against the “defamation of religions.” These measures are introduced by the Organization of the Islamic Conference to chill free speech and outlaw criticism of Islam and the Quran. The values contained in the Quran are the antithesis of the values contained in the Declaration of Human Rights. The UN has become a sick parody of itself. Video produced by me Stopsharialawnow, no copyrights were violated in the making of this video. I hope you will enjoy it.
