'Cultural alliance'; ISESCO plans Nov meet
2005-03-28
Islamic Education, Science and Culture Organization (ISESCO) is preparing to host an international seminar about "alliance of civilizations" in Tunisia next November, ISESCO's Director-General Abdulaziz Al-Tuwaijry said on Friday. The seminar aims at acknowledging the Arab world as a server of international peace and security and a promoter of coexistence and multi-cultural dialogue, Al-Tuwaijry told reporters after he met with Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Bin Ali.
Right. We've seen nothing but international peace, security, coexistence, and multicultural dialogue come out of the Arab world for years now...
In a statement quoted by the official Tunisian news agency, ISESCO's director-general said the meeting would be a good opportunity to listen to the Tunisian president's instructions regarding cooperation in private organizations in light of recent international circumstances. The muslim nation, Al-Tuwaijry added, should work hard to correct the globally perceived distorted image of Islam. This requires the activation of ISESCO's role to develop the education, science and culture in its member states. Al-Tuwaijry added that Bin Ali reconfirmed Tunis' support for ISESCO during the meeting and expressed his appreciation for its activities. He expressed his gratitude for the Tunisian president's continuous support for the organization.
I think it'd be a lot better idea if those Arab nations in favor of peace, security, coexistence, and multicultural dialogue established crack hunter-killer teams to hunt down and ruthlessly exterminate those of their citizenry who don't. But maybe that's just me.

#2  Am I the only one who started chuckling the phrase "Islamic Education, Science and Culture Organization"?

The seminar aims at acknowledging the Arab world as a server of international peace and security and a promoter of coexistence and multi-cultural dialogue Gotta be a typo or mistranslation. I'm sure they meant 'sewer' rather than 'server'.

#1  Fred - At least your graphic is honest, lol!

Image winning out over Content. It happens all around us - from the PC twinks to the uber-sensitive Death Cult of Islam and their apologists. The absurdity of it boggles.
