Muslim states block gay groups from U.N. AIDS meeting; U.S. protests

[Clementine]

Considering the way the left is foaming at the mouth as they defend the right of pedophiles to follow girls into restrooms and showers (which has NOTHING to do with transgenders), you'd think this would piss them off even more. It would outrage them is this was Israel or Republicans, but since it's the "peaceful and moderate" Muslims, they won't say anything. This isn't ISIS or al Qaeda, not that the left would say much about them. This is being done by 51 Muslim states. It's a clear sign of the predominant mindset of Muslims. And the left still won't say anything that might offend them. The LGBT group cannot even be represented at this meeting, let alone use any bathroom they want at the U.N.


"A group of 51 Muslim states has blocked 11 gay and transgender organizations from attending a high-level meeting at the United Nations next month on ending AIDS, sparking a protest by the United States, Canada and the European Union.

Egypt wrote to the president of the 193-member General Assembly on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to object to the participation of the 11 groups. It did not give a reason in the letter, which Reuters saw.

Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, wrote to General Assembly President Mogens Lykketoft and said the groups appeared to have been blocked for involvement in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy.

"Given that transgender people are 49 times more likely to be living with HIV than the general population, their exclusion from the high-level meeting will only impede global progress in combating the HIV/AIDS pandemic," Power wrote. "

This is why you don't want religion ruling a nation. Any religion.

Why does a "gay" group, or any other "group" need to attend a meeting about aids? The only people that need to be there are doctors, scientists & financiers.

Getting together just to pat each other on the back & "proclaim" progress for the sake of appearances is a pointless waste of money.

I disagree entirely. People have a right to voice their opinions but when did we decide that we could just barge in on any process?

Serious work needs to be done in research & development & being inundated by special interest groups only serves to bog down the process with unnecessary political bullshit.

If it were Christians blocking them, the libs would line up to bash them and call them names.

Most libs won't touch this because it's Muslim countries denying the LGBT group access to the meeting.

When a nut fired shots at a PP building, no one on the left said that religious assholes will be religious assholes. No, they jumped on Christians and Pro-life groups. They didn't acknowledge that a very tiny percent of those calling themselves pro-life would even consider resorting to violence.

Well, this is Muslims blocking gays and transgenders. It's Muslims beheading gays or throwing them off roof tops. Nary a word on that from the left. If they bring it up at all, they claim it's just the radicals and that it's not the majority who feel that way. There are constant murders by Muslims over things like offending them or mocking Islam. Seriously, those are considered crimes punishable by death. And it happens more and more frequently.

When it's Christians, the entire religion gets bashed.

Sorry, but the differences in reactions to what each religion does are stark and unmistakable. One is attacked and the other is left alone.

You didn't even comment specifically on Muslims. You included all religions in your remarks to avoid having to come out and say the 51 Muslim states denying gays any rights are wrong or homophobic.

More outrage has been expressed by the left over refusal to bake a cake than of brutal torture and murder of gays.

When this many Muslim states deny rights to them, you can no longer claim it's just the 10% of them who are radicals unless you are willing to admit that the majority of them are radicals.

 

[WillMunny]

I actually used to support gay rights (I still don't give a fuck what consenting adults do to each other in private), but I've found that gays are the most breathtakingly IGNORANT hypocrite crybullies I've ever seen: these cowards scream and yell if a Christian LOOKS at them wrong.....yet praise/support the MOST GAY-PUBLIC-EXECUTING, gay torturing, gay-slaughterhouse religion of all time, Pisslam! I don't waste sympathy on these obnoxious cretins who are FUCKING STUPID enough to embrace the weapon of their own destruction.

Gay people are treated like shit in Muslims nations and yet you still managed to somehow make American Christians the victim in all this. Too funny.

By the way, Russia and China were also opposed their entry into the conference.

First, China and Russia suck and it's no surprise that they don't support gay rights. They don't even support human rights.

You are using your lib tactics to deflect again. At least you admit that gays are treated like shit in Muslim nations, but I am talking about the stark difference in the typical lib response that depends on who is treating gays like shit.

How many libs expressed outrage at the gays being banned at the U.N. meeting? You didn't have much to say except for a lame admission after you were pressed.

Where is the outrage at the majority of Muslims hating gays? Do you think their hate stays in the Muslim countries when they come here?

Why the hell is the left so supportive of Muslim immigration when they are aware of how they treat gays? The left is all for bringing in Syrian refugees despite the U.N. admitting that they are in no danger and merely seeking better education for their children. They are 'economic refugees' yet the left insists it's crucial to take them over the Christians and gays in Muslim countries who are being tortured and murdered. Are you aware that the U.N. is approving Muslims for economic refugee status while the ones who are in grave danger are being turned away?

It demonstrates sheer hypocrisy on the left when they refuse to even address the blatant hypocrisy of the refugee situation. All I hear is that we should take the Muslims, knowing full well they deny rights to children, women and gays. Not a single lib bashed the U.N. for demanding that we take these economic refugees while refusing to help the ones who are being slaughtered by the same Muslims.

When you're ready to look at the whole picture and discuss it, let me know. Otherwise, go join the other libs who only know how to repeat talking points about how we fear widows and children. Truth is that we are importing young male Muslims who hate gays and all other infidels. And the left supports them 100%.

What happens in Muslim countries doesn't stay in Muslim countries. It spreads like a cancer and the left won't discuss it, let alone help stop it.

Polls consistently show that an increasing number of Muslims not only support denying certain people any rights, but they also believe sharia law should trump the laws of all other countries. Islam is an oppressive form of government, not religion. Islam is government that cannot be separated from religion because they are one and the same. sharia is the only constitution they recognize.

Are you suggesting we ignore you Christians in our own country who are trying every single day to harm gay people and legislate against them, and worry about Muslims across the globe who we have no control over? Do you want us to leave you alone so you can hurt gay people in America in peace?

But....I thought "not all Muslims" were radical??? This says 51 entire Muslim nations...their governments...are pushing to ban homos.
