Worthy of The Onion —
Despite its reputation as one the world’s worst violators of religious freedom, Saudi Arabia is now hosting in Jeddah a UN human rights conference on combating intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief, attended by the president of the UN Human Rights Council and other top international representatives. […]
UN Watch expressed alarm that the participation of Ambassador Joachim Ruecker, president of the UN Human Rights Council, would grant “false international legitimacy to a regime that beheads people in the town square, systematically oppresses women, Christians, and gays, and jails innocent bloggers like Raif Badawi for the crime of challenging the rulers’ radical brand of Wahabbist Islam.”
The Obama Administration sent two top envoys to participate, religious freedom ambassador David Saperstein, and Arsalan Suleman, Acting Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Also, Heiner Bielefeldt, UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, addressed one of the panels.

I am of the feeling the a useless UN is ideal. I can’t imagine the evil that would result from a competent world body.
Rome not only has the largest mosque in Europe, just a few miles from Vatican City, but lots of synagogues. Jerusalem has mosques and Catholic churches. Mayapur (one of the holy cities in Hinduism) has several mosques and its own catholic diocese.
But in Mecca, you can be arrested for no other crime than NOT being Muslim. If you are caught there during hajj, you can be beaten to death or stoned by the crowd. Hell, there are occasional pedestrian stampedes that can cause dozens or hundreds of deaths, even when there isn’t any particular reason, just the press of the crowd.
