Human rights experts and religious leaders spoke out on Friday against a recent series of US reports on China's human rights situation, urging Washington to take a closer look at its own army's abuse of Iraqi prisoners.

The report has allowed the public to see clearly the double standards adopted by the United States concerning human rights and its pursuit for hegemony, said Dong.

That was followed by a US-sponsored anti-China motion at the 60th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights which was thrown out by the participating countries on April 16. The recent US actions have prompted China to suspend its human rights dialogue with the United States.

US soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners has aroused particular indignation among Chinese Muslims.

"The United States has violated not only the International Covenants on Human Rights, but also Islamic doctrines, which incites condemnation from Muslims," said Imam Chen Guangyuan, president of the Islamic Association of China.

1. Pot, meet kettle . . .

There was a time when a US report on human rights had some moral authority.

2. There is No Moral Authority Under Bush

According to Bush, anyone who disagrees with Bush is an evil-doer and deserves the worst fate possible. Bush preaches Christianity but doesn't practice it.
