Iranian regime slams Canada
The Islamic regime of Iran is going to slam Canada at the United Nations general assembley next week, and the above image is what I captured off the Iranian regime Mehr News web site today.
The National Post has more on the story.
"It claims Ottawa denies its people everything from the right to work to rights to food and clean water."
Yep, it is the Canadians who are immigrating to that country or taking refuge in thousands in Iran, not the other way around. The current occupational regime of Iran has no shame.

Comments
Should the United Nations's general assembly, at their annual summit, insist Canada stands and explain its position vis-a-vis Iran's spiritually inspired 70-page booklet {! penned in the name of Allah ! } authored to discredit our human rights record, than Prime Minister Harper and foreign minister Maxime Bernier, need to walk out without a single word spoken. Dropping a diplomatic note on their way out, concerning Canada's continued participation in this ‘Orwellian World Order' facilitating a policy of control by propaganda, misinformation, denial of realities and obfuscation. This spontaneous act of ethical defiance should generate a semblance of sanity in the asylum, at the very least rattle the cage of the ‘animal farm'. A respectable stand that could very well instigate an exit of other civilized nations in a show of moral support. Should the general assembly proceed in shaming Canada, a member of exemplar standing, by forcing its democratic head of state to respond to fabricated lies, a messianic missive rife with righteous indignation ,the fruit of a vindictive agenda, gratuitously dispensed by a nefarious theocratic regime would be beyond the pale and the excercise serving only to embolden the bully in the court-yard. Iran would be hard pressed to officially recognize or take action on legitimate human rights violations and is a state that remains pathologically unable to see, hear or speak of any evil in their neighborhoods, as long as the correct book is being read!
I ask can we reasonably expect the United Nations to uphold the values of a principled world body, and send a strong message to the divinely vitalized Mahmoud Ahmadiyad that they will not entertain willful slander { flinging goat dung } in that ‘hallowed hall' or will we witness this institution accommodate, oblige and submit to the madness { hoisting up their arses westward in submissive deference } if the latter prevails than let it be without Canada's acquiescence or participation.

Riiiight.
The right to work? Anyone can work in Canada.
Now getting paid or employed, that's something else.
If anyone wants to get paid for working, Alberta is a good place to live.
Then, once you get paid, you can buy food.
Clean water? Canada has got 25% of the entire world's fresh water and you can buy a water filtration unit if your fresh water isn't clean enough.
Right?
The United Nations and its human rights bodies have passed more than 67 resolutions and decisions regarding human rights violations against Iran's religious minorities since 1980. In every year since 1984, except for 2002 where the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) tried to engage Iran into a dialogue on human rights, the UNCHR passed resolutions about human rights violations against Iran's religious minorities especially the Bahá'ís. Iran became the fourth country in the history of the United Nations to be on the agenda of the General Assembly because of its human rights violations.
According to Amnesty International's 2004 report, at least 108 people were executed that year, most of whom had been detained as political prisoners.
Since 1990 at least 23 executions of child offenders in Iran has been recorded.
In January 2005, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, which monitors states' compliance with the CRC, urged Iran to immediately stay all executions of child offenders and to abolish the use of the death penalty in such cases. In the summer of 2006, the Iranian Parliament reportedly passed a bill establishing special courts for children and adolescents. However, it has not yet been approved by the Council of Guardians, which supervises Iran's legislation to ensure conformity with Islamic principles. During the past four years, the Iranian authorities have reportedly been considering legislation to ban the death penalty for child offenders. Recent comments by a judiciary spokesperson indicates that the proposed law would only prohibit the death penalty for certain crimes, and not all crimes committed by children.
In spite of these efforts, the number of child offenders executed in Iran has risen during the past two years. Stop Child Executions Campaign has recorded 73 children facing executions in Iran.

Too foolish for comment, certainly draws attention to their own Human Rights abuses, the list is long, all in the name of their religion of Islamic insanity.

LizJ, it makes me ashamed of being one from Iran.

No need for personal shame, Winston, there are generations of fine citizens who fled Iran for our Western democracies.
Sadly, we may have a military rumble with that crazy, dangerous regime.

Even Bin Laden invoked the issue of global warming in his last tape. Of course, I wonder about the irony: his attack on the WTC probably spilled more carbon emissions into the atmosphere than most countries do in a year.
I wonder how many lefties will use this to denounce Mr. Harper without realizing that Iran
1) is manipulating them for its own propaganda purposes
2) building nuclear weapons
3) deny the Holocaust and demand the destruction of Israel, with several million deaths.
Somehow I doubt the lefties care much about the latter.

Yet the Leftoids will rant against the US for their capital punishment - especially in Texas - and avoid the fact that both China & Iran execute more "prisoners" than the US does. And in China, they sell their organs to the highest bidders too!

Just one more reason why we need to leave this useless and ridiculous body (UN) and form an organisation of free countries. The thugocrats who wish to remain can then be free to pay their own way and expenses and we shall be free to ignore them.

They will disappear if no one pays their lobster and martini dinners. Do you honestly think they will pick up their own tabs?

I for one, could care less what Iran or the United nations thinks about Canada, or anything else for that matter.

Reminds me of a fellow I knew who stewed away his life, concerned with what others thought of him.
The fool never realized that few people thought of him at all.

And here's proof positive about the results when you make nice with terrorists:
"IDF arrests Palestinian terror suspect who was pardoned last month"
IDF troops arrested on Sunday for the first time a Palestinian who had been pardoned last month by Israel. Faris Nazar, a 21-year-old member of the Tanzim terror group, was apprehended at his home in Kfar Kalil near Nablus.
IDF sources said that Nazar was pardoned by Israel under the fugitive arrangement last month under which 178 Palestinian terror suspects were temporarily "pardoned" by Israel and given the opportunity to return to a normal life in exchange for surrendering their weapons and ceasing their involvement in terror activity.
Central Command sources said Nazar was behind a number of recent bomb and shooting attacks against IDF troops in the Nablus area. The IDF said that all of the pardoned fugitives were under constant surveillance and if they broke the agreement they would be arrested.
THEY MUST BE KILLED - not pardoned, and given another chance to kill you.

"Reminds me of a fellow I knew who stewed away his life, concerned with what others thought of him.

PAUL
Calm down Lil' Shaver. Big people don't threaten others with a beating, they use logic and facts to express their opinions. Weren't you taught in school recently that it's not 'OK" to bully someone and that kind of action is "inappropriate"? Looks to me like you need some councelling in anger management. You haven't demeaned anyone here except yourself.
