What human rights organization would you like to condemn this violence?

What human rights organization would you like to condemn this violence?

How about any of them?

 

[Apple Jack]

But they're CHRISTIANS! C'MON GUYS!

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Human rights organizations are not only okay with the slaughter of Christians, they actively encourage it.

My link (Warning: graphic photo)

This is a brutal example of how far the struggle between muslims and catholics in Nigeria has reached. Muslims are determined to impose their 'religion' all over Africa as well as in other continents and countries of the world. Islam has but one goal: rule the world at any cost." "And where are the International Human Rights Organizations? Christians are burnt alive in Nigeria: a horrific Holocaust right in front of International indifference. As denounced by Father Juan Carlos Martos, on behalf of the Missionari Clarettiani, via del Sacro Cuore di Maria, Rome, Italy." "By publishing this graphic document on Facebook, I have intended to make the world aware of certain terrible events totally ignored or minimized by the mainstream media; an authentic genocide so cruel and inhuman only comparable with the most hateful and vile acts in the Nazi extermination camps.""To my great surprise, Facebook has criticized me for the publication of this graphic document as a proof of the Holocaust that Christians have been suffering in Nigeria in the last ten years. According to Facebook's Security policy of the 'social' Network, this photo has been classified as 'pornographic', 'violent' or 'inappropriate' and hence I was disallowed to publish any picture for a week. And I was threatened drastic measures if I insist publishing any document that prove the terrible violations of Human Rights in Nigeria. This attitude by the (Spanish) Facebook Management is an attack to the freedom of expression as much as a shameful insult to the 500 victims (only in this horrible episode) slaughtered by islamic terror only for being christian." "I thought that this social network, originated in the United States, would not bend its knees in front of terror. Especially, when still healing their wounds suffered in the gruesome 9/11 attack, just as our own 3/11 at Madrid railway station, all innocent victims of the wild fury and insanity of islamic terror." "This seems even more unacceptable in Spain, a Democratic state, where the rights of opinion, expression and religion are guaranteed by the Constitution (Art. 16 and 20), if there is an attempt to limit such rights, let alone through threats and coercion thus weakening their freedom of expression by condemning as "inappropriate" a graphic document (not a photomontage) which reflects a brutal reality in all its crudeness." "Contrarily, the Administrators of Facebook Spain should welcome this public protest advocating that such a barbarian act will never be replicated and that its perpetrators will be brought to justice. This is a right and duty of every citizen: a service to society, ultimate goal, I feel, of any network that defines itself as 'social'." "Regrettably, if the murders continue, this is greatly because truth is always hidden to the sovereign people, so that they may not be aware and 'disdained' by it: complicit silence by the mainstream media leads to the indifference of the international political community facing this unspeakable Holocaust. Let alone the cowardice already rooted in the western world facing the islamic terror. A consequence of the stupid "Alliance of civilizations": another regrettable incident of our former Prime Minister Rodriguez Zapatero." "Can you imagine the reaction of the islamic terrorist organization in the (impossible) case of a massacre of muslims in a mosque, by the hands of christian terrorists? And how widely would our media cover and condemn the crime and the criminals??" "Therefore, from this modest blog, I ask a favor from all people who are reading me: please distribute this photo and its comments using all the media you have. If only for commemorating these martyrs since, unfortunately, Facebook seems to be on the side of the executioners by preventing the publication of such tragic events."

If only the guy could've made his point without acting the martyr and wailing about Facebook not publishing the pictures that the won't let anyone publish. Saying they've taken the side of the terrorists is asinine and turns his entire speech into a whine session and detracts away from the tragedy he's trying to inform people of. Very much a symptom of the martyr complex that was discussed the last time you decided Christians needed a pity party for the entire world being against them (despite being the majority). I'd like to see every single Muslim or atheist or anyone else involved in this type of activity lined up against the wall and torched to death with flamethrowers, or shot in the legs and allowed to bleed out. But the author (and people like you) turn the emphasis not onto the story, but on your perceived oppressed religion. It's sad that you guys will use a situation like this, a disgusting act of brutality and a very clear violation of FB's policies, and try to make the Facebook issue the bigger one. It's sad all around.

I think a better question is where is Crosseyed when it's people other than Christians? I don't recall any other threads from him pointing out atrocities around the world for people other than those he associates with religiously. It's kind of sickening.But yes, I think everybody can agree that mass murder is bad, regardless of the motive.

I agree, nobody sane wants to see masses of people being slaughtered, but he does raise a point. Why aren't human rights organizations trying to aid these people, when most other times they're practically chomping at the bit to do so? If they are trying to aid them, why aren't we hearing about it?

The martyrs are the ones with the torched bodies in the picture, not me. Sorry you can't see the difference between pretending to be a martyr and pointing out actual martyrdom.

Many have their pet issues they post about. Some people pimp for Obama. Some people cry about gay rights issues. Others cry about global warming. Some cry about Fox News. Some cry about racism.

The article you referenced spent most of it's time pointing out how much of a martyr he was due to Facebook "siding with the terrorists".

I don't know. Seems like it was a fairly recent event and mass murder isn't exactly a phenomenon unique to Algeria. Regardless, I imagine we will hear something about it soon.

That's never stopped you from crying about other people not crying about the stuff you want them to. In fact, lack of denunciation is one of your key attacks.

Cool, three stories from a year ago. Where's the one that details the 500 people just burned alive?ETA: Sorry, two from a year ago.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Looks like the picture may be fake....

I don't see a Snopes article though. Still looking.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Here's the Reuters article about the fuel tank explosion that actually killed all of those people, sadly.

oops.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Serious answer - there are loads of human rights violations taking place across the globe. Nonprofit organizations can't focus on every part of the globe. Here is a link mentioning some of the organizations working toward a better Nigeria. Here is a link briefly discussing some of the problems organizations face in Nigeria, along with some organizations working there. Here is a link by Amnesty International on Nigeria's human rights record.

Not only that, but a quick google search shows that photo may be a fake.

Hijack - at Nigeria's President being named Goodluck Johathan.

There are a lot of smart, level headed, compassionate Christians not only in the world but on these forums. It's a shame CE works so hard to represent some of the crappy stereotypes.

[CrossEyed]

If it's fake, I apologize for passing it along. I did a search and didn't find anything. I had heard of mass killings of Christians going on in northern Africa, so when I found nothing to invalidate the article I assumed it was accurate.

[Kal El]

So if it's fake, and from what everyone's posting, that looks more likely, maybe we should start fact-checking before posting things, because while shock headlines will get posts, eventually being called out will be problematic.

Exactly. There is a big difference between solid, intelligent, reasoned religiosity versus the brand of mindless fundamentalism that CE brings with virtually every post.I'm embarrassed for him.

Are you still outraged then? You seem just as guilty as the OP IMO, add faux outrage to your faux human rights org.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Thanks, Jim11.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I'm not trying to call CE out, just saying that the picture is fake. I wasn't trying to even debunk it, I just went to Google to find some articles to read up on the whole thing.I typed in "Christians burned alive Nigeria" and the top 2 results were "Christians burned alive Nigeria fake" and "Christians burned alive Nigeria snopes", so I followed the lead. I don't see a Snopes article anywhere, but there are a few websites calling out a woman for starting the hateful rumor and linking to news of the actual event, a fuel tanker explosion. It really didn't take much sleuthing, took all of about 5 minutes.

Can't you just fact check this stuff with god before you post? Don't you, like, have his 1-800 number on speed dial?
