Golly gee. Not a single mention of that continuous abuse of human rights known as shari'a law. Oops, wait a minute while I fetch my magnifying glass ...

Egypt: Allow Citizens to List Actual Religion on ID Cards
Iran: Suspend Heavy Sentence for Womens Rights Activist

Whew, they had me worried there for a moment. Notice how Iranone of the very worst offenders of them alltrails the list? There is a startling consistency with which Leftists overlook the immense wrongdoings of those whom more conservative elements oppose. No better example exists than the deafening silence of feminists over FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), so delicately phrasedand misleadingly couchedas "Female Circumcision". Were Christians in favor of such a massive human rights violation, you can bet your bottom dollar that there'd be rioting in the streets and churches being torched over this issue.

Instead, since a pet minoritywhich Muslims, at some 20% of this world's population, are notis engaged in this hideous practice, the Left's eyes remain averted to such loathsome behavior. This sort of politically selective definition of what constitutes human rights abuse represents the very lowest form of agenda-mongering. It panders to the most mindless and robotic partisan mentality and is worthy only of scorn from any individual with the least shred of philosophical integrity.

If conservatives had any wits about them, they would seize upon this gaping void in the Left's ethos and focus an actinic glare upon such willing disregard of immense human suffering. Muslim majority nations represent one massive and ongoing violation of human rights such that any alliance with them is worthless in the face of being required to ignore this fact. There can be no better way of outing the Left's selective agenda whilst simultaneously identifying the civilized world's very worst enemy. That neither side of the aisle can bring themselves to do so is a discouragingly strong indicator of just how far America has sunken towards a one party system.
