Dear WEOG, please look in to human rights of christian minority here, Christians were massacred in hundreds, two years ago, reason is we are not following same faith as murderers, so this could repeat again and again,as long as,it's there in their holy book, your timely intervention, would be saved people from future massacres

Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Liechtenstein and the United States, the worms that are coming out of the woodwork. US who called UNHRC a 'cess pit of political bias' has put it's shit into this same cess pit. The others are Tamil diaspora (LTTE terrorist supporters) block electoral supporters of the politicians in these countries.
