Antonio Guterres On the Fez Plan Of Action:CamelShit!

I have marked the most egregious turds with superscripts internally linked to my incendiary commentary below the horizontal line.

Authority of Religious Leaders Critical to Preventing Incitement of Violence, Secretary-General Says at Event Launching Fez Action Plan

Following are UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ remarks on the launch of the Fez Plan of Action, in New York today:

Let me begin by thanking you for coming together in this deeply meaningful way — and on such a timely initiative.

I firmly believe in the power of faith leaders to shape our world for good.  As High Commissioner for Refugees, I made a special effort to reach out to faith leaders.  I did so out of personal conviction.  But, I also did so for very practical reasons.  After all, to the vast majority of people uprooted from their homes, faith is an anchor in a stormy sea of fear, loss, separation and destitution.

We worked together with religious leaders on a project that focused on the roots of modern refugee law and Islamic law.  We did it in close cooperation with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and with the support of Nayef University in Riyadh.  More broadly, we brought in UNHCR [the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees], religious leaders together for a dialogue on faith and protection.

Again and again, I have been struck by the consonance of key precepts and core values between the different faiths¹.  Indeed faith is central to hope and resilience.  Yet, around the world, we see how religion is being twisted — cynically manipulated — to justify incitement to violence and discrimination².  We see an alarming rise in online and offline hate speech — messages that spread hostility and hatred and encourage populations to commit violence against individuals or communities, often based on their identity.

Hate speech³ sows the seeds of suspicion, mistrust and intolerance.  Over time, it can play an important role in convincing people that violence is logical, justifiable, even necessary.  And so, it is no surprise that hate speech is one of the most common warning signs of atrocity crimes — genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Since we know the warning signs, we can also take early action to prevent these crimes.  The voice, the authority, and the example of religious leaders are critical⁴.  This conviction led to the development of the initiative we launch today.  The Fez Plan of Action is the product of two years of consultations, led by my Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide.  It involved religious leaders representing different faiths around the world, as well as faith-based organizations and many others.  I would like to pay tribute to the critical role of many partners, and in particular KAICIID, the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers and the World Council of Churches.

The Plan is based on a unifying commitment to promote peace, understanding, mutual respect and the fundamental rights of all people.  This includes the rights to freedom of religion and belief, opinion and expression, and peaceful association.

The Plan of Action sets out a broad range of ways in which religious leaders can prevent incitement to violence and contribute to peace and stability.  It stresses the importance of women and youth in all prevention initiatives.  It also contains recommendations for States and the international community.

All religions teach respect for life and recognize human beings as fundamentally equal⁵.  These principles summon us to show respect for all human beings, even those with whom we might profoundly disagree or whose cultures might seem alien.  I urge the widest possible dissemination and implementation of this Plan of Action.  It can help to save lives, reduce suffering and realize our shared vision of a peaceful, inclusive and just societies in which diversity is valued and the rights of all individuals are protected.

Let us work together to prevent and end atrocity crimes and all affronts to human rights and dignity.

Jesus Christ!

• Crucified, dead, resurrected or not?
  
• Prince of Peace or Barbarian War Lord who will kill the last Jews & Christians?
  
•  Son of God or slave of Allah?

religion is being twisted

to justify incitement

    Accursed Liar!!! Go to Hell and be damned! Do not pass GO, do not collect Jizya!  Islam was contrived for the purpose of propagating perpetual war  because war was the source of Moe's income.  Moe got 100% of the fei & Jizya and the top 20% of the ganimah produced by his conquests.

• Islam's Mercenary Mission

Hate speech

    Seventeen times each day, pious Muslims curse us by reminding Allah why he wants to burn us: they recite Surah Al-Fatiha.
Surah Al-Baqarah 2.286 is one of the most popular superogatory salat. When they recite it, they ask Allah to grant them victory over us.  The Qur'an calls us "worst of living creatures" and curses us.

    Islam is an Arab Mafia, not a religion and it does not teach respect for life, equality and human dignity.

The Pope's Vain Hope

My Google Alert for UN Interreligious Dialogue  triggered on  UPI NewsTrack TopNews which revealed that Pope  Benedict XVI issued an apostolic exhortation in which he called upon Islamic countries to reciprocate in religious freedom.

    The full text of  "Verbum Domini" is available at Zenit. It begins with an index, which indicates that it is rather long.  The section of interest to me comes just before the conclusion.

The Word Of God And Interreligious Dialogue

The value of interreligious dialogue [117]
Dialogue between Christians and Muslims [118]
Dialogue with other religions [119]
Dialogue and religious freedom [120]

In this dialogue the Synod asked for a deeper reflection on respect for life as a fundamental value, the inalienable rights of men and women, and their equal dignity. 

life as a fundamental value

    It is a fundamental value to us, but not to Islam.

• 2:212. Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, ...
• 3:185. ...The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). 
• 4:74. Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allâh, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allâh, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. 
• 6:32. And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. ...
• 9:38. ...Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter.

inalienable rights

Sorry, those are for Muslims only.

• Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 :
  ...Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

equal dignity

•  Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387 :   ..."I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us...

Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims and we have no rights; a great basis for dialogue indeed. Reliance of the Traveller, book o, Chapter 4 details the indemnity to be paid in the case of manslaughter. Few things reflect Islam's inequity better than this provision of Islamic law.

• o4.9 ...
  

  The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.

  The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid of a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that a Muslim....

 

All the same, dialogue would not prove fruitful unless it included authentic respect for each person and the ability of all freely to practise their religion. Hence the Synod, while encouraging cooperation between the followers of the different religions, also pointed out "the need for the freedom to profess one's religion, privately and publicly, and freedom of conscience to be effectively guaranteed to all believers":[381] indeed, "respect and dialogue require reciprocity in all spheres, especially in that which concerns basic freedoms, more particularly religious freedom. Such respect and dialogue foster peace and understanding between peoples".

 

authentic respect

Yeah, right; our blood & property ain't sacred to them, is there something more we need to know before we tell them where to go?

freedom of religion

• 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.

What does Islamic law say about religious liberty?

• o11.5
  

  -6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

  -7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

• o11.10

  The agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:

  -1- commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her;

  -2- conceals spies of hostile forces;

  -3- leads a Muslim away from Islam;

  -4- kills a Muslim;

  -5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

Islamic doctrine holds that only Islam is true, that all other belief systems are false or defiled by demonic interjection.  Where Allah's writ runs, Christians are persecuted; that is not going to change.  Islamic doctrine is fixed & immutable.  The relationship between Islam and Christianity is predator : prey.

    As far as Muslims are concerned, they alone have the truth, you have error & doubt.  There is only monologue, no dialogue; it is a one way street.  Religious freedom is for Muslims only. Dignity & rights are for Muslims only. 

    We have a desperate need for leaders, elected, academic & ecclesiastic who know the truth about Islam and have the courage to stand up and declare it.  The rest of us need to be sufficiently informed so that we can detect lies when we hear or read them. 

    For the comprehensive course, read Craig Winn's The Prophet of Doom. It is only 1000 pages long. yet it combines the most essential elements of the Qur'an, hadith, sira & tahrik.  For the short course, read Suhas Majumdar's  Jihad, The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War.

    If you are willing to read primary sources, you can access the Noble Qur'an which includes bracketed expressions from tafsir and the translator's notes. I gave you a link to the page containing 2:190 because its footnote includes the most honest definition of jihad. You can use navigation links on that page to access any part of the Qur'an.  Sahih Bukhari and three other hadith collections are available at USC-MSA. I gave you a direct link to the first saying in the Book of Jihad. Navigation links are at the top of the page.

    If you prefer to take it all in at once, try Tafsir Ibn Kathir, which combines the Qur'an with relevant hadith and commentary. Each page has a link to its successor. I suggest beginning with Surah 8, continuing through Surah 9.
