If you think the UN is useful, you are not paying attention

It’s not new news today that the UN elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women.

What next? Muammar Qaddafi sitting on the Human Rights Council and establishing an award in his name by donating millions of dolllars (because his shining example was not enough)? Oh, wait been there done that.

Why didn’t we put Ted Bundy in charge of student safety at Universities while he was alive?

Charles Manson could guard the interest of pregnant Hollywood stars!

This also means that I have been keeping a fox out of the hen house and perhaps he only has their best interest at heart!

I am a woman with a daughter. As a Christian woman I will never submit to the brutality and oppression of Islam. My daughter and I will never cover our faces in shame. We are created in God’s image and created by God with equal worth.  The fact that our Country is involved in an organization that appoints a Country known for it’s misogynistic brutality, over “women’s rights” makes me cringe.

Listen to the screams of this young woman pulled off the streets in Iran by the moral police. Is this what the UN thinks is a representation of a Country that has women’s rights as a deep concern? I saw this video a year ago and this woman’s screams stuck in my head. I can not imagine the brutality, rape, possibly even death she faced because the moral police in Iran did not like her clothing. How her screams must reverberate in the ears of her family.

Where is she today?

Women’s Rights according to Iran:

Women have the right to lashings.

Women have the right to be treated like chattle.

Women have the right to be killed, beat, and maimed.

Little girls have the right to be married off to full grown men who can do with them what they please.

With rights like these who needs slavery and oppression?

I am waiting for the National Organization for Women and the other vocal organizations who claim to care about women’s rights,  to issue their statements of absolute disgust and their demand that the US pull out of the UN immediately… waiting… waiting…
