Violation
of Article 1 and 2 of the UDHR
Article 1 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states:
All human beings are born free
and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with
reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 2:
Everyone is entitled to all
the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration,
without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour,
sex, language, religion, political or other opinion,
national or social origin, property, birth or other
status.
But the Quran declares that:
Men are created one step higher than women.
Good women should be obedient to their husbands.
Women inherit only half of what a man inherits.
Witness of 2 women equals Witness of 1
man.
Quran 4.34 : Men
are in charge of women, because Allah hath
made the one of them to excel the other,
and because they spend of their property (for the support
of women). So good women are the obedient,
guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As
for those from whom ye fear rebellion,
admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge
them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way
against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
Quran 2.228 :
Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for
three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to
hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they
have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands
have the better right to take them back in that period,
if they wish for reconciliation. And women
shall have rights similar to the rights against them,
according to what is equitable; but men have a degree
(of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted
in Power, Wise.
Quran 4.11 : Allah
(thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance):
to the male, a portion equal to that of two
females.
Quran 2.282 : O
you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting
a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let
a scribe write it down between you with fairness; and
the scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught
him, so he should write; and let him who owes the debt
dictate, and he should be careful of (his duty to) Allah,
his Lord, and not diminish anything from it; but if
he who owes the debt is unsound in understanding, or
weak, or (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let
his guardian dictate with fairness; and call
in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but
if there are not two men, then one man and two women
from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so
that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may
remind the other
Violation of Article 5 (& 18)
of the UDHR
Article 5 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states:
No one shall be subjected to
torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
or punishment.
But the Quran says that:
Those who dont beleive in Islam will burn in hell forever.
Those who reject Islam will be forced to drink
boiling fetid water, and they will still not die
after going through this unthinkable torture.
Those who deny
'Allah' will be punished by pouring boiling water on
their heads, and forcing them to wear clothes made
from fire. This will cause their bodies to be scalded
and burnt both from inside and outside. Their skin and
whatever there is in their abdomens, will be melted.
Furthermore, they will be punished with chains
and whips made from Iron.
And If they try to run from all
these torturous suffering, they shall be forced
to turn back into it.
Quran 14.16 :
In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for
drink, boiling fetid water.
Quran 14.17 : In gulps will he
sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down
his throat: death will come to him from every quarter,
yet will he not die: and in front
of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.
Quran 22.19 :
These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are
two opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But
as for those who disbelieve, garments
of fire will be cut out for them; boiling
fluid will be poured down on their heads,
Quran 22.20 :
With it shall be melted what is in their bellies
and (their) skins as well.
Quran 22.21 :
And for them are whips of iron.
Quran 76.4 : For the Rejecters
we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
In Iran, and Afghanistan, brutal
punishments are give for extra-marital sex.
Stoning to death was ordered by Mohammed, and is still
used in Iran. This is a very cruel brutal punishment
and its only aim is to inflict maximum pain on the individual.
Muslims in Afghanistan and Iran can be flogged for consuming
alchohol, slandering or for adultery while they are
not married.
Flogging is ordered by the Quran:
And those who accuse free women
and bring not for witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes."59
For the adulterer, God says :"The adulteress and
the adulterer, flog each of them with a hundred stripes."
60 s
These punishments are condemned
by the International Community (Stonings: 1 2 3 4, Floggings: 1 2 3)
A video of flogging and stoning
to death is available here.
Islam also orders cutting of hands
and feet :
Quran 5.38 As to the
thief, Male or female, cut off his or her
hands: a punishment by way of example, from
Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
Violation of
Article 18 of the UDHR
Article 18 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states:
Everyone has the right to freedom
of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes
freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom,
either alone or in community with others and in public
or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching,
practice, worship and observance.
But the Quran says that:
Any religion except Islam will not be accepted
Quran 3.85 : If
anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never
will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He
will be in the ranks of those who have lost.
This is also mentioned in Violation
5, where those who dont beleive in Allah, will be
tortured severely.
Violation of
Article 19 of the UDHR
Article 19 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states:
Everyone has the right to freedom
of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom
to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive
and impart information and ideas through any media and
regardless of frontiers.
Pakistan, Afghanistan and other muslim countries do
not allow freedom of speech, regarding criticism
on Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. This has taken the
shape of a Blasphemy Law, where any person who speaks
negatively about Mohammed, can be given death sentence
or life imprisonment and/or fine.
An example of this is the recent
death sentence given to Dr. Younus Shiekh (Info: 1 2 3 4)
for correctly pointing out that the Prophet Mohammed
did not become Muslim until the age of 40 (which was
when he received his first revelation) and that his
parents were non-Muslims (as they died before Islam
was proposed by the Prophet).
Violation of Article 23 (1) and 26 (1) of the UDHR
Article 23 (1) of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states:
Everyone has the right to work,
to free choice of employment, to just and favourable
conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
Article 26 (1) states:
Everyone has the right to education.
But in Afghanistan, a muslim country, girls are not
allowed education (1 2 3) . Girls schools are banned and those caught running
these schools, can be punished by law (Info: 1 2 3 video report ).
This continued for about
5 years, during the reign of the Taliban, the oppressive
Islamic extremists, who were finally eliminated by the
Americans. (Thankyou, America)
