      Because taking advice from the country of “don’t say gay”, “oops I invaded Iraq”, “hundreds of thousands murdered in the Middle East”, “oops I couped another democratically-elected government”, “rape on foreign military bases”…

      These countries probably care more about the religious freedom of Muslims then the US though, which loves killing Muslims and has killed millions of muslim civilians in recent history in their own “war on terror”

      Also literally 30 countries sent delegations

        Strongly doubt that.

        I’m sure they care more about the religious freedoms of their own sects freedom, but I’d say that concerns ends at their border.

          You think Muslim majority countries care less about the right to practice Islam than the US, which routinely spies on mosques in the US and has killed millions of Muslim civilians in recent history? Who are supportive of the client state of Israel committing genocide against Palestinians as we speak? Which media depicts Muslims as brown savages? Who’s soldiers commonly refer to Muslims as Sand N-words?

          Are you being literal or is their another meaning you are trying to imply?

            Yes.

            You seem to be under the tankie misunderstanding that just because America is bad that other places must be better.

              Okay, thank you for demonstrating that you unironically believe muslim countries are more bigoted against Muslims than a country which has routinely committed genocide against muslim populations over the last half century and is current involved in supporting one as we speak.

                You’re right mate.

                Religious people always care about the wellbeing of practitioners of different beliefs more than secular states.

                  Do you even know what sects of Islam they follow? Quick, name them.

                  Oh wait, youre just making stuff up as you go along. There are uyghurs in both major sects and the delegation included both major sects of Islam.

                    No, no you’re right mate.

                    Religious people totally care about the wellbeing of different practices of different faiths. It’s a historical fact.

                    I’ll put more faith into a detailed and diversely investigated report by the UN than I will a few comments by authoritarian religious states.
