Sharia Law has won a victory over human rights within the UN Human Rights Council, and sanctioned by the same council. In fairness to President Doru Romulus Costea, he asked that it be recorded he'd never been in a more uncomfortable situation - including when his own statements as Council President were "challenged point blank".

We cover the audio of relevant proceedings for the 8th session of the human rights council - June 2nd to 18, 2008. Webcasts may be accessed here. Driven aggressively by Egyptian delegate Amr Roshdy Hassan, who claimed Islam will not be crucified in this council, this covert jihad on the vile idea that humans - much less us soon to be gone Harbi - having more rights than Allah was fully supported by Pakistan and Iran. As council President noted it may be seen by some in the Council as "a preemptive move" on allowed statements, or as a mater of religious debate. The topic studiously avoided was the scope of the Vienna Declaration and programme of action; human rights.

This episode Firesnake looks at Islam, Sharia, human rights, human nature, Iranian hanging of drug users. We note the lack of any response from the I.N.C.B., the UNODC and global NGO's who heard the plea for help from Middle Eastern NGO's, just weeks ago. The I.N.C.B. remains silent over Irans Anti Narcotic Law, much as with Russian Narcology. This is in stark contrast to support for the lifting of stoning penalties to 300 lashes and 10 year sentences.

Despite the focus on Islam, religion and generally bad news the aim in the Humble Firesnake Holeplex is not to divide. We take the view that this is actually about Us. Excellent evolutionary data produces models that not only explain the role of superstition moving us toward complex religions, but help us understand the intractability of "belief" in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence. Rejecting the integrity of any human being based upon what they believe denies us a window into the human condition. And seeing as we're discussing human rights, let's remember we have no right to not be offended. Which sadly, is what the recent ruling seems to ignore.

We ask the question if Islam and Sharia Law may offer protection for drug users. Given ignorance toward Islam in The West is at an all time high some time is spent outlining how stupid we really are and noting Islam is a violent horrific concept, only kept in check by Muslims who can indeed entertain two disparate ideas and draw strength from both. Islam cannot deny its history, no matter how it's rationalised.

Nor can Christians deny how irrational, oppressive, passively murderous and deceptive they were and remain today. Christian morality enforced on other cultures kills and ruins lives at break neck speed. It's fueled by "really nice people" in democratic nations who have no idea where their money goes, who benefits or how many cultures are torn apart by "well meaning" senile misogynistic virgins who somehow do these "nice people" an eternal favour. The pointy end is fundamentalism. We attribute entire mindsets to 'religions' based upon fundamental interpretation, when 'faith' actually follows a sliding scale of belief and behaviour that's a function of intellect - not magic.

The problems arise when moderate theists refuse to admit their belief is flawed, because they must sacrifice something - often an assumed something. Usually the "kinda, maybe off chance I might get punished when I die". There are intellectual reasons behind both expressions and they reveal much about human nature. We actually do respect each other - we're hard wired for it. Faith often requires self delusion or suspension of analysis, to the peril of the believer. And just as faith blinds one to reality, so too does a belief in ones superiority; something we do so very well in democratic nations.

NB: This widely circulated image of an "Iranian stoning" is an enactment of how the practice is carried out. However a quick search of videos should satisfy any questions.

The debacle in the UN HR Council stands yet again as another fabulous advance for The Ummah as the earth moves slowly but surely to one rule under one true God - Allah. An admirable and well won victory for Diplomatic Jihad. Our War on Terror is as useful to understanding the theological, political, social and military issues driving conflict as is Black Death to mapping the Yersinia pestis bacteria genome, in an attempt to arrest the spread of plague. As always, it is the gullibility in the West that will see Islam one day rule our planet. The old, tired and dusty standards were present. Misunderstanding over freedom, justice and peace.

In the West we associate Freedom with freedom to vote, of speech and of self expression. We have freedom to elect governments - of, by and for the people. We see Justice as peer controlled judgment ensuring outcomes are to the benefit of society: human beings. Peace of course, is the absence of war. Australia will be mumbling away like this the day we elect our first Muslim P.M. as an expression of our 'oh, to die for' concept of multiculturalism. Perhaps only when Sharia is written into Aussie law, will we wake up. Freedom to Muslims is conquest of Allahs land from the unbelievers, or reconquest of Dar al Islam from Dar al Harb [the house of war - nationhood] and Tyranny from oppressors - the West, via Jihad: Justice. Only when Dar al Islam has justified for Allah the Land of War, removed all unbelievers according to His demand, and established a global Ummah, can Peace reign.

To Dar al Islam, the 1400 year global Jihad, interrupted on September 11th 1683 at the siege of Vienna, is open for business. Now that the control of Pakistan is close to a reality, The West held fast in a Middle Eastern trap and militarily stretched too far to stand by Zion [Israel], the time for pretense is fading. What we in The West must now grasp is our concept of nationhood is a speck in history dependent upon abundant resources. We are blinded by our concept of Tolerance and in our rush to realise Equality fail to see human nature. If democracy has a self destruction mechanism it must surely be that of tolerance leading to a wall of political correctness, that will act as its trigger. Cultural and intellectual hubris has possibly sealed our demise.

We worry over "nuclear destruction", never bothering to check of all seven worlds in Islamic law, Allah may be everywhere, but resides only here. He already owns the world - it's the duty of Islamists to remove those who reject His Word. Destroying what is dictated to be ultimately devoted to his glory is unlikely, given a prior 1400 year struggle. And it's this very subterfuge the UN failed to see. Allah desires only Paradise for Muslims whose purpose it is to conquer the world for Him. Some pleasure in this world follows those who follow Him, but only as it applies to expanding the Ummah.

Humans have no rights - only Allah - the landlord. Any "rights" exist only under the Ummah which serves to oppress equality of religion. That is what Sharia Law is about. That is what Islamic immigration aims to achieve. Just as does Christianity. All the world for their idea of God - who is of course the same god; the God of Abraham, the God of the Jews - His originally "chosen people".

Payback has been a long time coming, and Islamists have patiently obeyed the lessons learned by the prophet at the battle of Uhad. To return to "the straight path" - Sharia, introspection, accepting blame, prayer, devotion to Allah - in temporary suspension of Jihad. This is required under Islamic law. 9/11/1683 signaled the decline of Islam, but it was the Industrial Revolution that dealt the 'death blow'.

At this time Dar al Islam covered more of the Earth than the Roman Empire did at its peak. The quality of life was over 500 years ahead of medieval Christian Europe, suffering miserably in serfdom and ruled by a corrupt hierarchy of Christian misogynistic megalomaniacs. Christendom grew from the destruction of knowledge and suppression of evidence. Greek science was expunged primarily due to it's "exposure" of biblical phrasing as astrological allegory - not magic. Put simply; Rome thrived on the horrific ignorance it inflicted on others. We call that time The Dark Ages. Iran is particularly pleased about its scientific success and has told us on several occasions, it will reverse the order to its prior state.

It's traditional to claim there's "no such thing as a moderate Muslim". Alluding that to be Islamic is to be an extremist. It's actually very wise to acquaint oneself with the teachings of Islam and particularly Islamic jurisprudence as it has grown since the prophets death. Even more so with writings of Islamic thinkers over the last century. It is this intellectualising that brought the genocidal life of the prophet into essential Muslim teachings, gave us anti-Semitism and urges hatred and annihilation of not only Jews - 'Zionists' but all unbelievers and any who support Zion. As The Great Satan the USA supports Israel, it too is Zionist. Allah forbids nationhood, personal gain, equality between belief systems or tolerance of any non Muslims. "Wait for them, set traps for them, kill them wherever you find them".

Perhaps however, we should remind ourselves of what The West did to this civilisation if we seek to understand Fundamental Muslim psychology and the pain which drives modern day conflict. Hamas is the result of "democratic elections" in Islam. Islamic parties win because of the need to remove any trace of Dar al Harb from what was once rightfully The Ummah. The Crusades, nationhood and the 1948 and '67 Israeli victories are a crisis of faith for Muslims hinting that Allahs chosen people, are losing to his designated inferior race of "worst creatures". It's not "racism" driving anti Semitism. It is the sacrilegious assault upon the demands of the one true God.

It was the inability of European Christians to reach the Holy Land thanks to Turkish Islamists and conversion to Islam by Christians that prompted the Crusades. As for the slicing and dicing we love to blame each of these stupid belief systems for, I'd prefer to not hand out medals. It's human nature at play. Yes, religion is to blame as with all horrors in our world - either in the first instance or as a result of passive apathy. But this is about us, not magic unseen beings with different criteria to satisfy for their jollies and your eternal reward. Belief, dear reader, is a most foolish intellectual exercise. Cult psychology [religious doctrine] is about controlling others and to control ones mind is to have absolute control - particularly when eternal damnation is a possibility for engaging in free thought.

As is clearly dictated by Allah to the Prophet and recorded in the Koran, it is the sacred duty of all Muslims to wage Jihad - either covertly, violently, deceitfully... you name it, until The Ummah covers the world and all is for the glory of the one true God. In modern times the concept of Taqiyya [Def], occasionally spelled "Tiqayya", erroneously, has been amplified to include non Sharia societies and allow expatriate Fundamentalist Muslims to live alongside Gods forsaken creatures [within Democracies] without killing them as Islam demands.

Tiqayya is the lying about Islam and ones true nature, for protection of Islam and spread of Jihad for the global Ummah. It's basis is directly from the Hadiths outlining a discussion about lying to kill a Jewish enemy: "I will kill him for you Oh Prophet, but we must tell lies". "Dude, knock ya-self out [or words to that effect] you are free in the matter", replied the prophet. There is only the Ummah and the land of war, yet to become the Ummah. It's non negotiable, punishable by eternal damnation and indeed violent, brutal Sharia Law. To not behave this way is to indeed be the enemy and deserving of all tortures Allah demands for kafir - non believers, "the worst of creatures".

Indeed, it is because the world belongs to Allah that this duty exists and one may never rest - be at peace - until we all cry out his name, and profess we believe the word of a medieval warlord. As he was the last and true prophet, it's fairly clear that Unbelievers must die, submit under Dhimmitude and for some races be tortured for the pleasure of Allah. Then with Dhimmitude and control of freedom exerted over vile kafir Harbi, as per the Most Merciful Allahs Compassionate request, may Peace reign. To repeat: Islam as a "peaceful religion" is the concept of when our planet "belongs" to Allah as total Ummah. Tony Blair the noted "religious" British P.M., is an exemplary example of idiocy born of selfish faith, amusing Islamists across he globe as he led his public astray insisting Islam is a "peaceful religion". As Earth already belongs to Allah, it is merely the establishment of the Ummah He requires.

For this reason His word was revealed to the final prophet - the true prophet. The only reason the global Ummah does not exist is because the direct word of God, is as yet unfullied. The aim of the Koranic revelations are to set straight Jewish and Christian divine texts which had become garbled over time, leading to impure practices and Harbi - unbelievers - in the land that was supposed to be Allahs. The prophet was instructed to set in motion the 'final divine solution'. As Allah is God, failure to recognise that "compassion" in Islam means killing for Allah, "the Most Merciful, the All Compassionate" and observation of murderous Sharia Law practices, is exactly why the UN fell into this trap. As each Koranic chapter begins with the above phrase, all of Islamic Jihad is notated as "compassionate".

The Cairo Declaraion of 1990 has been given a breath of new life and contains all the requisite points cleverly wrapped in double speak semantics, fit to fool any uncritical eye. Average Joe sees a fairly benign, if somewhat superstitiously obsessive, list of "rights". Islamic critics note immediately a document designed to enslave human beings to the very word of barbarism as demanded by Allah. The final article: Article 25- The Islamic Shari'ah is the only source of reference for the explanation or clarification to any of the articles of this Declaration. Which essentially means humans have no rights other than to act as Allah demands.

Allah wants the world, "desires for you" paradise and if you can't see how darn simple this is you will die. If you're too stupid to live a pious life then die as you kill for Allah - and it's an X rated paradise for your trouble. For a psychotic warlord in the habit of consummating marriages with nine year old girls - why 9 is the legal marriage age under Sharia - who needed an army to travel and kill with a guarantee of loyalty, it's an ideal formula. In the 21st century it gives us terrorism urged by Extreme Islamic Clerics. Motivation for Jihad is fundamental interpretation of the prophets strategic mind control and "revelations".

Genital mutilation, decapitation, amputation of opposite feet and hands, eye plucking to extract information [torture] and so much more is the "emulation" of the prophet. The Borg would be proud of such hive mentality, and I hope you can see the purpose of rubbish such as this website. It's claimed the prophet "Ascended" into heaven, making his senior followers outright liars who then inherited his military state, ensuring the opportunistic genocidal "explosion" of Islam we see in history.

So, then. Remembering everyday people get caught up in drug related crime what of drug users under Sharia? Harm Reduction is documented as reducing HIV spread among Iranian prisoners, something the Iranian regime may have to acknowledge. Some Sharia may be open to interpretation. Allah changed his mind when the prophet realised no-one liked him much around the year 615-20. So, he found out God actually wanted lots of blood - not social cooperation and equality of worship, as is mirrored from earlier Koranic verses in Mecca - before the Islamic calendar begins in Medina 12 years later.

This concept of abrogation did away with the benign verses seen in other "religions". As the Koran is published from longest to shortest chapters, chronology is confusing - and this is exploited by Islamic apologists. Clarification of Koranic messages is gained from consulting the over 100 volumes of Hadiths - chronicling the prophets life. Much like no-one who ever laid eyes on Jesus ever wrote about him, the Hadiths were also began many years after the prophets death, by interfering apologists using notations supposedly gathered during his life.

Hadiths supporting care of "the oppressed" exist and are discussed as essential to Islam today. As is the more important personal ideal of inner Jihad: struggle. Open and firm discourse is needed for all minority groups in Islam and for those under influence of the Official Islamic Council.

Presently in the Middle East the socio-political climate favours an unacceptable humanitarian crisis due to the escalating influx of illicit drugs, and arguably further capital punishment. Despite the scale, despite claims of UN bodies, resolutions, promises and human rights, the level of open and honest discourse within multicultural communities is approximately zero. Perhaps in the first instance the greatest hurdle is not one of malignancy, but of widespread misunderstanding.

The concept of 'Drug User Rights' remains controversial across the world. Attenuating the human rights aspect as it pertains only to the influence of various religious beliefs and theocracies is markedly misunderstood. Despite the crucial import it remains an utterly thankless task, ignored by all institutions.

We cannot ignore the evident gulf between changes in policy outlook secured at the Beyond 2008 Forum, and the reality of UN sanctioned Sharia law specific to the drug using community in the Middle East. The need for compassionate discourse on this issue has never been greater. The opportunity for The Intergovernmental Expert Working Group on Drug Demand has never been clearer.

Surely we cannot hope for integrity on the issue of human rights if we fail those in need. Certainly the failure of beneficiaries of human rights to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, is naught but intellectual and cultural hubris that must rightly attract condemnation.
