Annan Decries Shameless Law Violations

UNITED NATIONS - With terrorist acts on the rise, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned world leaders Tuesday that basic laws to protect civilians are being "shamelessly disregarded" around the globe.

In a somber speech before presidents, prime ministers and ministers from 191 nations, Annan said the prevalence of massacres, hostage-takings, attacks against children and cold-blooded murders puts us to shame and reflects "our collective failure to uphold the rule of law."

Annan has omitted the weightier matters of humanitarian laws - judgment, mercy, and faith - when it comes to True Islam.  If they don't define the problem correctly, they cannot contemplate a strategy for peace.

To restore respect for laws that protect the poor and keep the strong from oppressing the weak, "We must start from the principle that no one is above the law, and no one should be denied its protection," Annan said. "Every nation that proclaims the rule of law at home must respect it abroad, and every nation that insists on it abroad must enforce it at home." The real fire for Islamic 'terrorists' - worldwide - is Palestine. [A name that isn't even mentioned in the Koran].  'Devout' Palestinians refuse to allow Jews to live among them.  Israel has not committed the same ethnic violations. Arabs are aloud to live in Israel.

Last week, the secretary-general reiterated that the U.S.-led war in Iraq violated the U.N. Charter and for the first time called it "illegal." [Saddam violated the "Rules of Laws" more so.  17 resolutions to be exact - along with 12 years of brazen defiance] In his list of violations of the rule of law on Tuesday, he cited "Iraqi prisoners flagrantly abused," an implicit criticism of the U.S. treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.  

President Bush, in his speech to the world body, defended his decision to invade Iraq and urged support for the country's interim government, whose prime minister, Ayad Allawi, was among the VIPs in attendance. He linked the chaos and violence in Iraq to the more politically popular war on terrorism, saying terrorists believe "suicide and murder are justified."

Broadening the U.S. agenda from Iraq ? which dominated his U.N. speeches the past two years ? Bush also appealed for greater efforts to fight terrorism, to end the violence in Sudan, to combat AIDS in Africa and "to promote hope and progress as the alternatives to hatred and violence."

004.094 O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully

008.067 It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land.  

009.005  Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.

002.191 Slay them wherever ye catch them

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks. [Behead them]

009.029  Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day ... until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [Violent Discrimination] 

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you

Why are the world's leaders defending such commands? - allowing them to be treated as 'sacred'? What is sacred about them?

"Our great purpose is to build a better world beyond the war on terror," Bush said.

Though Bush has often been at odds with the U.N. over Iraq, he paid tribute to the world body and its chief during a luncheon toast.

"Our great purpose is to build a better world beyond the war on terror," Bush said. Though Bush has often been at odds with the U.N. over Iraq, he paid tribute to the world body and its chief during a luncheon toast.

"Mr. Secretary-General," Bush said, raising his glass, "with admiration for your leadership and with confidence in this organization, I offer a toast to you and your service and to the United Nations."

At this year's General Assembly ministerial meeting, world leaders are confronting a depressing global agenda dominated by terrorist threats, a humanitarian disaster in Sudan, turmoil in Iraq, and a growing gap between the rich and poor.

It takes money for the terrorists to carry out their operations. Poverty is not the cause. Teachings are. To blame poverty for the acts of murderers - is a real slap in the face to those who are poor....who would never ever take another person's life - for any reason.

President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan said his country still has many hurdles to overcome, including combating poverty, illiteracy and terrorism. But he called the country's first post-Taliban elections on Oct. 9 "the most significant milestone in our journey" toward democratic government. Why struggle to build something...without confronting the cause that will tear it down - FIRST!?

But he warned that "as long as terrorism continues to exist in our region, neither Afghanistan, nor our neighbors, nor, indeed, the rest of the world, can be safe."

Several leaders praised Annan's call for the rule of law and Bush's focus on promoting democracy and combatting terrorism.

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who spoke just before Bush, warned again that there would be no peace in the world until a more just economic and democratic world order is established.

"Peace will never rise from poverty and hunger," he said.

German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, when asked his reaction to Bush's speech, said: "I think it's very important what Kofi Annan said about the rule of law in the 21st century so I don't want to go more into the details because this would be very unpolite."

Tanzania's President Benjamin Mkapa said dozens of leaders agreed at a meeting Monday that "globalization has produced both striking achievements and harmful distortions in global growth and development."

"We all agreed that, left unchecked, globalization will exacerbate the wealth gap ? within and between nations ? thereby planting the seeds of social instability and crime on a national and global scale," he said.

1Cr 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

In his speech, Annan told world leaders that "today the rule of law is at risk around the world." As he refuses to condemn the Koran which promotes violence.

This world has bashed the Holy Word of God - in the name of - 'Crusader' 

They have told lies about the Gospel of Peace:

1Th 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good.

 

Rom 13:9  Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.  

 

1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

 

The New Testament does not allow humans to hurt other humans.

 

Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I [Jesus] should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Jesus is speaking to the reapers...who are the angels:

 

Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.

 

Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.  The New Testament is the only way to True Peace...of which this world has rejected. God's Holy Word has a Power that this world denies....The Power to build a conscience bearing difference within all societies. Hbr 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful...and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 

Enoch 1:9 Behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly - and to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

 

Jud 1:14 Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,

 

Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

 

When POWERFUL self-professing 'Christian' leaders are seen performing acts such as this:

 

Kissing the Koran - it only leads to more confusion about its violent teachings.

 

It is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God - which has not a single violent command given unto men to follow - that shows the true way to Peace, Commanding ALL to be Truthful and Merciful.

 

Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known.

"Again and again, we see laws shamelessly disregarded ? those that ordain respect for innocent life, for civilians, for the vulnerable ? especially children," he said.

Annan pointed to the violence in Sudan's western Darfur region, which the United Nations has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

He is appointing an international commission to determine whether acts of genocide have occurred there, but said Tuesday that regardless of its findings, "things are happening there which much shock the conscience of every human being."

In the southern Russian town of Beslan, where a school was seized, "we have seen children taken hostage and brutally massacred," he said.

Annan also condemned the massacre of civilians in Iraq "in cold blood, while relief workers, journalists and other non-combatants are taken hostage and put to death in the most barbarous fashion."

"In Israel we see civilians, including children, deliberately targeted by Palestinian suicide bombers. And in Palestine we see homes destroyed, lands seized, and needless civilian casualties caused by Israel's excessive use of force," he said.

In northern Uganda, where the rebel Lord's Resistance has fought an 18-year rebellion, "we have seen children mutilated and forced to take part in acts of unspeakable cruelty," he said.

"And all over the world we see people being prepared for further such acts through hate propaganda directed at Jews, against Muslims, against anyone who can be identified as different from one's own group," Annan said.

Until that Truth is confronted....this world will be dealing with 'raging fires' - that are spreading.

Zep 3:8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

He delights in His Son. And He said no to Palestine...beginning with His very first author.

God spoke the Truth. This world chose not to listen.

Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
