So yeah, the UN has decided to make Saudi Arabia the head of a UN Human Rights panel that will be responsible for setting human rights standards around the world. This is the country that beheads people for drug crimes and flogs/imprisons people for apostasy. They advocate the same type of extremist Islam that ISIS advocates. My big question is why? As far as I can see, we want to get in their good graces for their oil. That's what it looks like to me anyway. No one in their right mind can support this decision. What do you guys think? Do you support this decision? Why do you think it was made?
