Heh. Every now and then the dictators / oppressive governments of the world say something that is nothing but hilarious. Today it’s North Korea’s government:
An article on Wednesday in Pyongyang’s official Rodong Sinmun daily said: “The U.S., after the September 11 incident, has murdered many Muslims in cold blood in its mainland, Afghanistan and Iraq and made no bones about insulting and overriding Islam and Islamic culture.
“The United States is not a ‘religious judge’ but a chief culprit in the repression and extermination of religion which should be put in the dock of a religious trial,” Rodong Sinmun said, according to an authorized translation.
Reclusive North Korea, which governments and human rights groups say has one of the worst rights record in the world, bristles at any criticism of how it treats its citizens.
“They (U.S. leaders) hold heretical a religious view and religion which criticize or disapprove of the American way of life,” said the article carried by the official KCNA news agency.
*rolls eyes* like NK’s opinion holds any weight…GTFOHWTBS. *smh*
Dear Leader is always good for a laugh now and then.
Don’t discount this as absurd, even though it is, because it speaks to a much greater problem. There will be people out in the greater world who once laughed off statements like this who will now listen more seriously because of the United States’ degraded position as “moral authority” in the world.
