Kenyataan Pertubuhan-pertubuhan Pembela Islam bagi membantah gerakan untuk menerima dan menyebarluaskan kandungan Resolusi 17 Jun 2011, Petubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu berkenaan Orientasi Seksual dan Identiti Gender dan Hak Kebebasan Beragama

Pada 17 Jun 2011, Majlis Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) Pertubuhan bangsa-bangsa Bersatu telah meluluskan suatu resolusi berkenaan apa yang didakwa sebagai pencabulan hak asasi manusia berdasarkan orientasi seksual dan identiti gender. Walaupun mendapat sokongan yang kecil (hanya 23 negara yang menyokong), resolusi ini telah diluluskan dan bakal menzahirkan akibat yang sangat besar terhadap kelangsungan tamadun manusia dan kehidupan beragama.

Resolusi tersebut meletakkan golongan LGBT di tempat yang salah, dengan memberikan pengiktirafan yang mengelirukan kepada mereka tanpa menyelesaikan permasalahan sebenar mengikut lunas agama dan nilai-nilai sebenar kemanusiaan.Continue reading “Kenyataan Media PEMBELA – Menentang Resolusi 17/19 Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu”
