Iran attacks Canada's human rights record

I thought everyone loved Canada.

UNITED NATIONS -- In a bid to discredit Canada at the United Nations, Iran is equipping world diplomats with a 70-page booklet on Canada's alleged human rights violations.

Written by Iran "in the name of God," the document asserts that the Canadian government denies its people food, clean water and the right to work.

"Routine unlawful strip and beatings by Canadian police has been a matter of concern for international community," notes the booklet, entitled Report on Human Rights Situation in Canada, adding that "the practice of police is alarming simply because I it is functioning as if there is no need to have judges."

Hmmm....

Makes me wonder if Canada is prepared to handle the phenomenon known as homosexuality.

This is a fairly transparent attempt to take the focus off Kazemi's death. Anyone who even attempts to be rational will easily see through it, and Iran will just be preaching to the chorus.

...Iran attacks Canada's human rights record?...:rofl - 'Nough Said.

My feeling are so hurt. I think I'll drown myself in some Labatt's Blue tonight and try to pee Ahmadinejad in the snow. Wish me luck, eh.

On a serious note, I think you're right on the mark, Kandahar. The Canadian government has been backing her son, who had tried to get her body flown back to Canada. Also, I don't think they're too happy about our presence in Afghanistan either.

Well, a brutal thugocracy spreading vicious nonsense about a liberal democracy. Who'da thunk it?

I simply wish there weren't so many in the liberal democracies eating up so much about what they say about THIS one.

Anyway, should be a lesson that the entire west is a target, no?

Ahmendinijad needs to shut the hell up and clean up his own country before criticizing everyone else.

But how can we accuse Iran of such gross human rights violations when we can't even clean up our own act!!?? <end sarcasm>

:spin: :spin: :spin:

Gotta love politics.

Blame Canada blame Canada!

We must blame them and cause a fuss

Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

Blame Canada blame Canada!

I'm at a loss as to which country could have a better human rights record than Canada.

Call me when they start stoning women to death for getting raped.

Switzerland.

The RCMP fingered an innocent Syrian man who we promptly sent over to some country to get tortured. Do you have any news about him suing the CIA? Canada isn't North Korea but they're not exatcly angels either.

Yep call me when they start hanging homosexuals, stoning women to death for being raped, and raping and torturing then murdering Iranian journalists in their country like the Iranians did to a Canadian journalist.

As to the Syrian we've still got Maher Arar on our list and with good reason, he was associating with Abdullah Almaki who was associating with Ahmed Said Khadr who was a senior associate of OBL so excuse me if I don't have any sympathy for him, he needs to choose better company.

Your attempt to draw moral equivalency between the west and Iran is quite frankly laughable.

My attempt to draw what? :rofl - TOT. I'm sure to you people being tortured doesn't seem to be as bad as say stoning....but I assure you. To the person on the other end it feels about the same. Your guilty by association fallacy has been debated and shut down many a time. Why continue it?

Yep because I know I would rather be stoned to death than to be tortured, and again this guy was associating with known terrorists so I have no sympathy for him, regardless we didn't torture him and it was not extraordinary rendition it was a regular deportation procedure.

In response to the US Senate, Iran has declared the CIA and US Army terrorist organizations.

The CIA and the U.S. Army "trained terrorists and supported terrorism, and they themselves are terrorists," the parliament said, according to IRNA.

The Iranian parliament said the condemnation was based on "known and accepted" standards of terrorism from international regulations, including the U.N. charter.

This is one of many reasons why it was idiotic for the US to label the Iranian military a terrorist organization.

I didn't mean to post that in this thread...I must have been posting to fast and clicked on the wrong thread.

It's not the Iranian military it's the revolutionary Guard which encompasses the Quds forces which could not be considered anything other than a terrorist organization, and so what if they label the CIA a terrorist organization, if our agents get captured by the Iranians they wouldn't survive anyways.
