It has become the political arm of Muslim countries in the international theater. Instead of denouncing the UN as a whole, the focus should be on the area where the problem lies. Non-muslim countries should lead a drive for reform, and fast. This has been a problem with the Human Rights Coundil of the UN for many long years.

For the most part (I admit I'm not aware of any exception except Indonesia.) they buy into the demonization of other religions exported by Saudi Arabia's subsidized Wahabbi madrassas. They have laws that limit or outright ban the free exercise of other religions. How pathetic. For any of the current “Muslim countries” to speak of respect for religion is a joke.

It is muslims who are launching wars of aggression in these places and elsewhere all around the world. How about the UN preventing wars of aggression by muslims?
