** UN Called to Respond to Sharia Violence against Women ([link removed])

* "Sharia-linked violence is inflicted upon women in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia. This includes the recent extreme sexual violence committed against Israeli women in October 2023 by Hamas proven by the UN; the infliction of sexual slavery on Yezidi women by the Islamic State (IS); killing of Iranian women for not wearing the hijab; the trafficking, kidnapping, and conversion of Coptic Christian girls in Egypt; kidnapping of girls and women in Nigeria by Boko Haram; mass attacks on women in Germany in 2015; the rape of girls in the UK by the so-called 'grooming gangs'; the forced conversion, kidnapping and murder of Hindu girls in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to name a few." — Press release, March 8, 2024.
* Of especial importance is that the complaint shows how many aspects of Sharia directly contradict what the UN claims it stands up for. By relying heavily on UN documents, and quoting from the UN conventions that back them, the complaint essentially asks the UN to do what it should be but is not doing.
* The complaint further shows that, according to the UN's own definitions, the issues it raises cannot be deemed "Islamophobic"....
* To redress these abuses, the complaint asks the UN Human Rights Council to do several things. One consists of requesting that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which claims to represent the Muslim world at the UN, provide a "single consolidated response" as well as "one standardized, worldwide codification of the Sharia and an explanation as to why Sharia should not be considered a fundamental cause of violation of women's human rights."
* The complaint also requests the appointment of "two non-Muslim rapporteurs, one who is a Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the second, a Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women..."
* Should, as is likely, the UN not respond, it will have, once again, proven itself a defunct and corrupt organization.

On International Women's Day, March 8, 2024 — which, among other things, brings awareness to violence against women — a formal complaint on how Sharia (Islamic law) is inherently abusive of women was submitted to the United Nations under the title, "Thematic Complaint to the Human Rights Council, United Nations On the Worldwide and Consistent Patterns of Gross, Reliably Attested, and Continuing Violations of Women's Human Rights Caused by Sharia."
Oxford defines Sharia as follows:
"Islamic canonical law based on the teachings of the Koran and the traditions of the Prophet (Hadith and Sunna), prescribing both religious and secular duties and sometimes retributive penalties for lawbreaking. It has generally been supplemented by legislation adapted to the conditions of the day, though the manner in which it should be applied in modern states is a subject of dispute between Islamic fundamentalists and modernists."
