Shame on the UN - it now embraces Sharia law....

This is a shameful report...
The 1,400-year-old Islamic custom of welcoming people fleeing persecution has had more influence on modern international refugee law than any other traditional source, according to a new study sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

High Commissioner Antonio Guterres said that more than any other historical source, Islamic law and tradition underpin the modern-day legal framework on which UNHCR bases its global activities on behalf of the tens of millions of people forced from their homes around the world.

This includes the right of everyone to seek asylum as well as prohibitions against sending those needing protection back into danger, Guterres said in the foreword to “The Right to Asylum between Islamic Sharia and International Refugee Law: A Comparative Study.”

In the study, Professor Abu Al-Wafa, Dean of the Law Faculty at Cairo University, describes how Islamic law and tradition respects refugees, including non-Muslims; forbids forcing them to change their beliefs; avoids compromising their rights; seeks to reunite families; and guarantees the protection of their lives and property.

“The international community should value this 14-century-old tradition of generosity and hospitality and recognize its contributions to modern law,” wrote Guterres.

He said that “racism, xenophobia and populist fear-mongering manipulate public opinion and confuse refugees with illegal migrants and even terrorists.”

These attitudes have contributed to misperceptions about Islam, and Muslim refugees – who account for the majority – have paid the price, said Guterres.

“Let us be clear: refugees are not terrorists. They are first and foremost the victims of terrorism. This book reminds us of our duty to counter such attitudes.”
Oh yes, just how many non-Muslim refugees do Muslim countries take in every year? Do I hear zero? How about the 800,000 Jewish refugees from Muslim countries??? Who protected their property and their rights? And, why oh why, cannot Muslim countries keep Palestinian refugees in horrid camps now for decades??? This report is a sham, and it brings Sharia law in through the bck door.

Oh, they'll take in your poor, your tired, your hungry -- as long as they're Muslim.

Now, are there any Christian countries that have taken in the poor, tired and hungry, of EVERY religious persuasion, for over two hundred years? It's on the tip of my tongue ...
