Editor Preface: Human Rights in Islam: “Son preference” has been forbidden in Islam for more than 1400 years. The Holy Last Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) also espoused rights of inheritance and choice in marriage to women when the rest of the world was steeped in abuse and oppression. Some of the ordinances of the Holy Last Messenger forbidding son preference include:  "Whoever has a female (daughter) and doesn't bury her alive nor scorn her nor give preference to his male child over her, Allah will admit him to Paradise;" and "Whoever has three daughters whom he provides shelter for, supports and marries off, Paradise becomes absolutely binding for him." It was said, 'What if they are two (daughters)?' The Prophet said, "Even if it's two."

 

Today, there appears to be a widespread return to the infringement upon the rights of women as illustrated in the following UN news article:

On June 8, 1967, two squadrons of Israeli warplanes bombed, napalmed and machine-gunned the US intelligence-gathering ship, USS Liberty, in international waters, killing 34 US sailors and wounding another 172.  The assault took place on a sunny afternoon, with the US flag and identifying markers clearly visible.  The Israelis targeted the antennae to prevent the crew from broadcasting for help and shot up the lifeboats to ensure no survivors.  There were, however, survivors who rigged up an antenna and radioed their distress, a call for help that reached Washington D.C.  In an unprecedented act of betrayal, President Johnson, in close liaison with powerful American Jewish Zionist political backers, covered up the mass murder on the high seas by issuing orders first to recall Mediterranean-based warplanes from rushing to assist their besieged comrades, then threatening to court-martial the survivors who might expose the deliberate nature of the Israeli assault and finally by repeating the Israeli line that the attack was a matter of mistaken identity, a lie which numerous military leaders later rejected.

“What the science community needs is a few huge donors to throw millions of dollars behind PR campaigns to counter the propaganda out there,” one author of the disputed three part UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) report told the UK Guardian in defense of the panel’s chair, Rajendra Pachauri. “This is a transient and manufactured crisis and will likely go away with time,” the author said.

The truth in this case is stranger than fiction. Vitamins, minerals and supplements are now considered toxic and therefore harmful and have been banned.
