#1 is this for real??? if so its fckin disgusting. Someone wants to make a anti racism poster with a suicide belt on - see how they respond. Sheesh i'm stunned by the offensiveness of this and only hope its some kind of a joke.

#2 Forty-six years have passed since the Sharpeville massacre, where 69 demonstrators were shot and killed during a non-violent protest against apartheid on 21 March.

How lovely, they conveniently forgot to give mention the more recent Rwandan Genocide and slaughter of an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994. "Human Rights" my ars. They'll always blame the Plassjapies (white country folk and farmers), never themselves.

#3 It's on the UN's own website.

I don't think it's a joke.

#4 It's a joke.

It's a sick joke.

Just like the rest of the UN.

The worst part of the joke is, we're funding it.

Let's stop.

#5 The UN version of subtlety. I'm sure they're giggling over their eggs benedict this morning, figuring nobody got the joke...

#6 I recommend the Margaret Hassan Lego set. There is her torso, her arms, her legs. Look, her head in the dump. Can you put her back together?

#7 Racism takes many shapes: Jews who refuse to be butchered; Europeans who refuse to live under Sharia;...

#8 Time to make "Good Muslims" in quanity.

#9 Somebody needs to educate the UN on what "racism" means. Last time I checked, a belief system doesn't equal a race. Nor does a nationality, unless of course the UN is saying that all Danes, including Danish Muslims, are of the Danish "race".

This latest from the UN is a VERY dangerous piece of news-the message is that people no longer have a right to disagree with belief systems. This form of PC is suicidal.

#10 Never mind the obvious racism (it is the UN, after all) - Did they get written permission to use Lego's intellectual property?

#11 I think I'll go buy some legos and donate them to Toys for Tots

#13 can someone explain why this is offensive - i don't get it.

#14 Islam is not a race. F#cking UN morons

#15 Elmerens-The Lego piece is a symbol of Denmark. The government of Denmark would not apologize for a PRIVATELY owned Danish publication which printed the original, tame Mohammed cartoons. The UN is saying that Denmark is thus "racist" against Islam.

#16 The UN might want to think twice about screwing with LEGO

#17 We must combat all forms of intolerance by celebrating the diversity and the differences that enrich the human family. But we must work to reduce the differences that are imposed, rather than chosen, that speak of deprivation rather than fulfilment and that fuel the xenophobic discourse about the relative merit and desert of individuals based on stereotypical attributes attached to their race, religion or ethnicity.
Louise Arbour
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Someone should tell this dipshit that religion isn't 'imposed' but is chosen.

Even with Islam you have a choice - just ask that guy in Afghanistan....
