Lebanese National on death row in Saudi

Nigeria is one of the heartlands of abuse, but hardly the only one: the United Nations Children�s Fund says tens of thousands of children have been targeted throughout Africa."

"Islamophobes like Robert Spencer have expressed their ardent outrage.  Yet, there were �15,000 children [who] have been accused�and around 1,000 have been murdered� by Christians in Africa�Where is your outrage, Mr. Spencer? "

Yesterday a coalition of U.N. officials, NGOs, and representatives from affected countries addressed the United Nations asking for governments to face the full extent of witch hunts across the world. Far from being a localized phenomenon in �primitive� or isolated villages, witch hunts and witch killings are now global in nature and spreading.

"The purpose here is not to bash Christianity, Hinduism, or any other religion.  It�s simply to point out that witch hunts are a problem throughout the world.  If you just follow Islamophobic sources like Robert Spencer, you�d come to think that the only �culprits� are Muslims, but like I said before: it�s simply not true.  The selective outrage of Spencer et al. shows that they don�t really care about human rights at all.  Their indignation is not principled, but political in nature.
