    UN rights chief says Syria death toll over 4,000

    GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.'s top human rights official says her office estimates the death toll in Syria's nine-month uprising is now "much more" than 4,000.

    Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, gave the latest figure a day before the global body is due to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis in the country.

    Pillay told reporters in Geneva on Thursday that evidence emerging of abuses committed by Syrian security forces affirms her call that the country's leadership should be prosecuted for "crimes against humanity."

      The UN should stay out of this civil war all they are doing is trying to cause a major intervention that countries can not afford....And as far as I am concerned it is Syria business not ours....Time to let them get on with it....ANd it might help if the Western powers kept out of raisng the crap also....

      Has the UN ever said what the death toll in Libya was. Specifically, how many did Gadhafi forces kill, and how many NATO and the rebels, even more so, how many did the rebels execute after they had seized power? Polish TV reported that thousands of Gadhafi sympathizers were being executed.

      Get rid of the need for oil. Then the Muslims can go back to fighting amongst themselves.

      The Confinement of Islam

      Muslims should live in Muslim countries, without exception. They have no business,
      especially, residing in the West or Greater West. Worshiping a sadistic false-god,
      via the teachings of Mohammed the Child-Rapist, they demonstrate marked hypocrisy by
      departing from the many societies they have built in his name, worldwide. Muslims have
      institutionalized their religious and ideological barbarity and have no reason to dwell
      beyond the borders of their homelands. They have made their miserable world; now they must
      confine themselves to it. Whenever Muslims are caught attempting to escape the living Hell
      they themselves created, they should be killed. Their religion, ideology, and collective
      mentality constitute a grave threat to Civilized Man. Western Christian Nationalists,
      in particular, should recognize Islam for what it truly is, and always has been -- an avowed
      enemy of Jesus Christ, and determined attacker of Europe.

      'TOLERANCE' OF ISLAM EQUALS DEATH

      I know people bang on Obama and his administration all the time but what i'm thinking is what's the difference between Libya and Syria? Why aren't we bombing them? Where is NATO on this one? Why Libya and not Syria? Is it oil?

      Mowspir, why are singing a different tune??? What are so dellusional?? Do you still believe there is a Syrian who supports your ex-president's criminal acts and atrocities he has been committing against us the unarmed Syrians???? Let me tell you that Islam or Judaism or Christianity has nothing to do with what is gong on in Syria. Simply, people of all religions in Syria want FREEDOM and want to get rid of this irreligious and inhuman president. This is the whole story.

      Navi Pillay, your count is based on who, is it the Islamist activists?
      How much of this count were security forces and innocent civilians killed by the Islamist thugs. Just today, a 9 year old Christian boy was killed by these thugs.
      Are you counting them in the total, or you 're only blaming Assad? Shame.
    • Victoria Two  •  5 mths ago
      There are some immutable laws of war. For as disturbing and disheartening as civilian casualties are, they have been a part of war since war was born. In military speak, they are referred to as collateral damage. If anyone can change this immutable law of war, please step up. To my way of thinking, to prevent civilian casualties war must be prevented, first.

      Don't be fooled by this propaganda... "The same Al-Qaeda terrorists who fought U.S. troops in Iraq and helped NATO overthrow Colonel Gaddafi are now being airlifted into Syria to aid rebels there topple President Bashar al-Assad....

      “There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria,” a Libyan source told the London Telegraph, speaking on condition of anonymity. “There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see.”

      Such a cunning plan.
