Migrants in Europe, the United States and many other parts of the world are subjected to the worst forms of racial discrimination and xenophobia, a UN independent investigator said Monday.Githu Muigai, a Kenyan lawyer, said many other groups are also victims including ethnic minorities attacked because of their minority status, individuals stopped and searched because of their perceived religious or ethnic background, and soccer players insulted because of their color.
He reiterated his opposition to Arizona's controversial immigration law because it compromises basic international human rights that migrants are entitled to.
On the issue of inciting racial or religious hatred, he said criticizing religious doctrines and teachings is a legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and freedom of religion. But he expressed concern at violence and discrimination against individuals based on their religious beliefs, attacks on religious sites, and religious and ethnic profiling.
Of course it's not a problem for the UN when Muslims kill, enslave, and rape Christians,Jews . Kurds and Hindus? But heaven forbid someone leave a pig's head outside a Mosque (which is the worst anti-Muslim discrimination I have heard of lately) in the United States.
