Human Rights

Is it just me, or has the Human Rights movement gotten out of control? For example, how can my human rights be off less significance than someone elses?

Take this example- Abu Hamza, hook-handed nutjob that he is, isn't allowed to be deported as it would be a breach of his human rights, and yet he is free to go around preaching intolerance of the "West" and encourage young, easily led Muslim men to enlist in jihad, a "Holy" war against infidels, no such mention is made in the Koran I may add. So who's human rights are more important? Me, who has lived in the UK his entire life and would like to continue living there without the threat of pshychotic suicide bombers hanging over me, or him, an immigrant to a country he clearly flipping detests? ME dammit, ME! My rights are more important, in this case at least!

Yet another example is the non-extradition of criminals if it is a breach of their human rights? The case in point is that of "General" Pinochet? He can't be extradited for HUMAN RIGHTS atrocities because its a breach of his HUMAN RIGHTS????

WHATS HAPPENING????????

That said, it's important to stress that I am all for the human rights act- the human right to clean water, sanitation, a roof over your head etc, but since the world can't even cough up to do that for everyone perhaps the rest of our human rights should take a back seat for a while?

Just a thought, just a thought.
