The EU has apparently had enough of much of the rioting in the Middle East. More specifically, in Syria, Bahrain and Yemen. As a result, “Hungarian deputy Foreign Minister Zsolt Nemeth has warned of a Libyan-style military intervention as a ‘distinct possibility’ unless these regimes stop the killings and repression of demonstrators and ‘cleaned up their acts,’” according to World Net Daily.
This threat comes just as Libyan rebels are claiming that “friendly countries” are now supplying them with arms to “hold the east of Libya against forces loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi,” according to The UK Telegraph. Gen Abdul Fattah Younis, the former Gaddafi interior minister is the one leading the Libyan revolution, and the rebels are also getting some help from Britain in the form of a pledge to, “send 1,000 sets of body armour,” and a European “air campaign against Col Gaddafi's tanks.”
But world powers may have another hot bed to contend with given the fact that Nigeria is rioting over the results of its election, according to the BBC. The election has been won by Christian Goodluck Jonathan, but those rioting are claiming that he won by election fraud. Nigeria is primarily a Muslim country, so it is also possible that Jonathan’s faith is the root of the riots rather than actual fraud.
Meanwhile, the UN is busying itself with what it feels is the urgent global matter of determining whether or not the earth’s “plants, animals, and terrain” have certain “inalienable rights,” according to Fox News. This particular charge is being led by Bolivian President Evo Morales who regularly claims that, “the central enemy of Mother Earth is capitalism.” He also feels that prosperous, capitalist countries must be forced to, “pay their environmental debt.”
Fox further notes that, “In January, Bolivia became the world’s first nation to grant the natural environment equal rights to humans. Bolivia’s Law of Mother Earth is heavily influenced by the spiritual indigenous Andean world outlook that revolves around the earth deity Pachamama, roughly translated to Mother Earth.”
The UN is planning to spend an entire day debating the rights of the environment, as opposed to addressing things like the Iraqi Muslims attacking Christians to the point that, “Since the attack in Baghdad on October 31, 2010, between 45,000 and 95,000 Christians have fled Iraq for neighboring countries such as Egypt, Jordan, or Lebanon,” according to One News Now.
Jerry Dykstra of Santa Ana-based Open Doors USA claims that "This [persecution of Christians] is done through a number of ways…through kidnappings, threats, killings, and murders -- so it is really an intentional effort by Muslim extremists to eliminate the Christian community from Iraq."
One News Now goes on to note that, “The ministry is urging Americans to sign a petition to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton requesting her to work with the Iraqi government to protect the rights of Christians and other religious minorities in the country. Open Doors reports that more than 10,000 signatures have already been faxed to the International Religious Freedom office at the U.S. State Department.”
