Persecution mainly comes *from* religion. Adults need to call out religion for what it is.
Religion and human rights do not go hand in hand.
Great to see this article,very timely as what has happened in Iran over the last forty years is just starting in Afghanistan. Convert or die is basically what is happening .The separation of church and state is so important.
@Niamh Hayes: Born again Christians , say; ‘Turn or Burn’ in Hell obviously
Lived in Shiraz just before the revolution
The Bahai’s lived in a street that was completely burned and all murdered.
From reading this article
I cant help but see the UN is in terrible need of reform
It’s toothless organisation not fit for purpose
Every aggressor from Russia,Saudi Arabia, Iran Israel and the USA just ignore it and its resolutions
Time to disband the UN and start again
@John Mcmahon: The UN is certainly toothless and we do need more powerful (and democratically accountable) global governance. However the UN does do a lot of good. There are a number of countries that are unresponsive to the UN, another set that are responsive only within fixed areas, but most countries actually interact with the UN. For those countries the UN’s human rights bodies are invaluable. Some of the UN agencies like the UNHCR and the World Food Programme have undoubtedly saved millions of lives.
@Nicholas McMurry: I totally agree
Sure keep the parts that work
But as a Council for conflict resolution its a failure .
And has been for decades
Somewhat ironic I think. I believe The Baha’í Faith originated in Iran, tho’ I may be wrong. I’ve found the Bahai’s that I’ve known to be quite good people.
Yes stop the murder of Palestinian men women and children
@Christy Mc Carthy: yes,Hamas and Islamic jihad are killing and persecuting most of the people in Gaza.
@Colm Mcmahon: What planet do you live on!
@Colm Mcmahon: it’s a little bit of truth, thay lots of people don’t wnat to know about. Hamas are brutal against their own people if they happen to be different to what hamas accept as “right”.
I despise what Israel does in Palestine but the other option isn’t great for freedom either.
have your say
