Charlie Hebdo: Murdered staff given 'Islamophobe of the Year' award

Charlie Hebdo has been given an international award for 'Islamophobia', two months after 12 members of staff were shot dead in a terror attack.

The awards, which were devised by The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), took place at a ceremony on Saturday and saw the gong go to the French satirical magazine for 'the world's most Islamophobic person or publication' in 2015.

It beat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US president Barack Obama and American television host Bill Maher to the title.

Sadly, none of the murdered victims from Charlie Hebdo showed up to accept the award.

Trumps desecrating the Qur'an, killing innocents, and demolishing ancient sites in the Middle East. Maybe next year ISIS.

I wonder where they stand on, say, gay rights, discrimination against women, capital punishment, corporal punishment, freedom of worship, freedom of speech, etc.

There are Muslims heterodox enough to hold liberal - i.e. pro-human-rights - views on all those things, but they're all minority positions among Muslims.

for proving that 'Islamic Human Rights' is an oxymoron.


I'd sign off with a 'LOL' if it was not both pathetic and dangerous for mankind.
