How Come the Muslim World Overlooked This?



Koreans burn the Holy Qur'an (Koran) in a protest against the abduction and murder of Koreans in Iraq. The generalization of Islam as a violent religion is false and idiotic.

Oh dear, I hope the following Arab/Muslim news agencies haven't heard of this:

Afgha.com www.afgha.com/
Ain Al Yaqeen www.ain-al-yaqeen.com/
Akhbar Alkhaleej www.akhbar-alkhaleej.com/

Islam is about peace. Sadly some people are so narrow-minded to see that.

Open Your Eyes




UN.GIFT was launched in March 2007 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) with a grant made on behalf of the United Arab Emirates. It is managed in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO); the International Organization for Migration (IOM); the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR); the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

This video was produced to coincide with the Vienna Forum on Human Trafficking in February 2008. It shows an innocent man walking through a typical marketplace. All around him are scenes of slavery. Malnourished workers hungrily eat the scraps of food discarded by their boss; a little boy begging is seized by a trafficker, who steals most of his money; a young girl is sold for sex.

The PSA is being aired on major international TV news channels like CNN, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, and Russia Today. It also aired on the Red Carpet at the Berlin Film Festival. The message is: "Open your eyes to Human Trafficking - a crime that shames us all". Millions of victims are slaves to a criminal industry worth tens of billions of Dollars. It is happening all around us.
