Honor killing by stoning in progress.     A couple of beheadings in Iran - nothing new.
 AIPAC:  The UN General Assembly on Monday, December 17, 2011, approved a resolution denouncing serious human rights violations in Iran ranging from flogging and amputations to frequent use of the death penalty, the Associated Press reported.  The resolution sponsored by Canada cites torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment as examples of "serious ongoing and recurring human rights violations" in Iran.  It also notes the targeting of human rights defenders, inequality and violence against women and discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities.  The 193-world body adopted the resolution by a vote of 89-30 with 64 abstentions.  Iran's UN Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee tried to prevent a vote on the nonbinding resolution, but the attempt was soundly defeated.  

Commentary:  If you add the 30 dissenting votes to the 64 abstentions, you can see how the Sharia sympathizers reign in the UN.  This all appears to be a ploy to laud their pretense at real humanitarianism, which they really do not have as a whole.  Essentially, if they had an ounce of human dignity and compassion for people being tortured in Iran, many of whom are Christians, they would kick Iran out of the UN altogether.  The UN is too Muslim-Sharia dominated to do that.  This resolution is a near-moot issue.  It (the resolution) is a stated fact, laid out in writing, generally interpreted to mean "here is our opinion on this matter."  Also note, it is a nonbinding resolution.  Opinions don't amount to a hill of beans when there is absolutely nothing being done to end the torture, crimes against humanity and religious persecution going on in Iran.  I think we can reiterate it again, "the UN is meaningless."  Do you think the passivity here is unbelievable?  Well, brace yourself, because according to the scriptures, these atrocities will happen worldwide!  (See the post below)  "Because when they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, and they were not thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, their foolish hearts were darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" Romans 1:21-22.
