Question

It has to be one over the other, if you have an answer which does fulfil this criteria (1 or the other, but not both) then also provide a reason and explanation why the chosen nation takes presedence over the other one when it comes to human rights violation.

Also, if you believe there is another nation which BEATS these two or perhaps ties with one or both of the aforementioned, please share it with us all.

let me know who you think has the most abysmal h.r.a.

thank you.

Answer 1

yeah, I'm going to have to go and disagree with cbgaviniii's answer that Saudi is far down on the scale of HR violations. I lived there for 2 years and in Africa, and can honestly say that Saudi is a no brainer compared to Iran. Remember its a far more restrictive brand of Islam in Saudi- Sunni Wabbiism- which is intolerant, extremist, sexist, racist, and violent. I'm sure there are many bad violators- Sudan (may be the worst), China, N. Korea, Myanmar...but I feel Saudi needs to be put right up there with them. Here are few reasons why:

- regulary scheduled, barbaric, public executions put on for entertainment

- those being executed, poor third world nationals, are almost never the guilty party - that dubious honor belonging to Saudi's who never pay for their crimes due to deep corruption.

- Third world nationals are enslaved in Saudi- their visas taken from them upon entry. they are then often not paid- Saudi is a giant prison.

- Only Saudi's have "rights" in Saudi Arabia- and this subject to the law of corruption...Foreigners are not supposed to be in Saudi and therefore if they become a victim of a crime they are found to be 1/2 at fault simply because they are present in the "Kingdom".

- Saudi is the largest exporter of terrorists and terror funds in the world. They send millions of dollars annually to Sudan for the express purpose of genocide of Africans.

So in summary, Saudi is a corrupt government that wields power without oversight, routinely killing and enslaving its own inhabitants for profit, religion, or sheer boredom. Additionally, they are exporting these national pasttimes abroad in a wide campaign to spread the disease of Islamic extremism...think that qualifies?

Answer 2

u can't compare Iran with Saudi Arabia.i myself live in Iran we have some different laws for example we must have hijab .maybe it is hard but we live in families and society that have accepted the women and their rights like men.men in Iran respect women.a lot of managers in Iran are women.we can live like other humans.we works ,study and live like you.yeah i accept we have to follow some rules which are different from your country for example we must have hijab but look at one of the free countries like France.they shouldn't wear scarves in work.is there any different?

what u know about Saudi Arabia?did u know they don't let the women to drive.last year they had an election for first time and it was only for men.the cinemas opened last year after 20 years and just for cartoons.they don't let their football players to play out of Saudi Arabia.but these are ridiculous for Iranians.did u know about 3000 years ago and maybe more,kings were women in Iran?did u know the first human rights were written by Cyrus the great in 2500 years ago?

please don't think i am crazy and these are jokes or lies,i ask u to search about them u can find them....please don't forget

Answer 3

As an american that lived in the mid east 16 years, I would place N Korea, Myanamar, and a host of african nations (like Sudan... the Darfur crisis) far ahead of saudi arabia and iran on human rights issues. Go to the US state department website (www.state.gov) to get their human rights report. You can also check amnesty or human rights watch websites as well in the way they rank the world's worst human rights offenders.

Answer 4

the subject is Sunni -v- Shiite. they conflict each and each of the time and that they are worried of Iran. that's yet another tribal u . s . and that's barely a remember of time previously yet another muslim u . s . will attack for this reason Saudi loves us as they'll assume us to guard them. i'm undecided no remember if Obama is a sunni or shiite.

Answer 5

Both are terrible. It caused by religious extremism of which we're fighting on a global scale.

I hope Hillary is elected and if she visits Saudi Arabia, she tells them that she will not cover up. In fact, I hope she tells them to cram it!



Who speaks for Islamic women? Sadly, nobody does.

Answer 6

I think that they are pretty much level on the question of human rights. Any visitor who respects and observes their laws will be welcome and protected. Any visitor who steals, rapes, drug-deals or murders may expect to receive treatment equal to that dispensed to their own. So, if you're a criminal, then stay away. Otherwise I'm sure you'll be respected and safe.
