  Holy rollahs howl: The best defence being a good offence, Iran is claiming to be
  irate about the brazen abridgement of human rights—in Canada.
  From Fars News Agency (h/t BCF):
According to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry's Press Bureau here on Wednesday, the book examines different subjects through an analytic view. 

Topics include "Canada's non-compliance with international obligations", "violation of economic, social and cultural rights", "violation of civil and political rights", "Canada's violation of human rights of indigenous peoples", "violation of human rights of refugees and immigrants", "violation of the rights of women and children", "Canada's police brutality and their abuses". 

Iran also presented world diplomats at the United Nations headquarters in New York in September with a 70-page booklet on Canada's human rights violations. 

The document revealed that the Canadian government denies its people food, clean water and the right to work. 

"Routine unlawful strip and beatings by Canadian police has been a matter of concern for international community," noted the booklet, entitled Report on Human Rights Situation in Canada, adding that "the practice of police is alarming simply because ... it is functioning as if there is no need to have judges." 

The publication, which said its accusations are drawn from "objective and factual information released by authentic and credible international sources," stated that a range of human rights violation occur in Canada, especially toward aboriginal peoples, refugees and immigrants. 

"To the great dismay of the international community, it is a great concern that the rights of women are violated, and no serious attention has been paid in promotion and protection of women's rights in Canada." 

Moreover, the document concluded, "Canada's position as a self-declared standard-bearer on human rights has been demoted to a blind-folded and bullied follower of the new school of unilateralism and the axis of derailment of international human rights law." 

The booklet emerged on the eve of the UN's annual summit, attended by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier. 

The booklet said Iran calls on the Canadian government to "comply with its international commitments before ... find faulting against others at the international community."…
   "In other words," say the theothugocrats, “Back off Canada, if you know what’s good 
   for you.”

Aw, they’re just mad because we kicked Kazakhstan’s ass at the World Junior Hockey Tournament. Kazakhstan, as you well know, previously kicked Lithuania’s ass, which previously did the same to Serbia, which in turn had done the same to Bulgaria, which did the same to Turkey, which in the first place kicked Iran’s butt.

It all makes sense.

Geez! I sure hope the Iranians base their claims on how Iranian terrorists in Canada (i.e every Iranian in Canada who still describes him/herself as "Iranian") is treated when the law discovers their malfeseance!

I find it comforting to think that Canadian authorities treat Iranian Islamic terrorists like the 7th Century barbarians they are. After all, such barbarians don't respond well to tea and cucumber sandwiches, do they?

Just sayin' is all!
