| UN seeks to bolster ties between West and Islam |
| 2005-07-16 |
| UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations, acting after deadly suicide bombings apparently driven by Muslim extremism hit London, launched an initiative on Thursday to build new bridges between the West and Islam. Bridges?! How about a moat! The campaign's aim was to "bridge divides and overcome prejudice, misconceptions, misperceptions, and polarization which potentially threaten world peace," U.N. chief spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Right. If we bigots would just quit misunderstanding all those peaceful bombings, everything would be fine. Recent events had "heightened the sense of a widening gap and lack of mutual understanding between Islamic and Western societies -- an environment that has been exploited and exacerbated by extremists in all societies," he said. Perhaps if we had sought mutual understanding with the Nazis, WWII could have been avoided. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was pursuing the "Alliance of Civilizations" initiative, at the suggestion of Spain and Turkey, after 54 people were killed in suicide bombings in London by three British Muslims of Pakistani origin and a Jamaican-born Briton. Jihadis bomb the sh*t out of civilians on a subway, and he wants a freakin' alliance. Would it be impolitic to note that Kofi is a Muslim? The campaign has no firm plans yet but is expected to present recommendations and a plan of action in late 2006. At least we can count on the UN's record of swift and decisive action. |

| #12 Does this mean we can expect more anti-Israel/Jewish resolutions in the future? I agree, move your ass to Mecca and stay there. |

| #11 "...launched an iniative... The campaign has no firm plans yet..." i.e., they have just announced nothing. So typical. |

| #10 Pointless Tranzi initiative aimed at preparing the West for dhimmification. Late 2006, huh? Right. That's a LOT of luncheons, dinners, conferences, retreats, reports, and other member-funded loot and plunder wankfests from now. Good plan. Missing the OFF golden goose a bit, are ya? *flush* |

| #9 "The United Nations, acting after deadly suicide bombings apparently driven by Muslim extremism hit London, launched an initiative on Thursday to build new bridges between the West and Islam." What's really needed is to dynamite the bridges we already have-- ALL of them. |

| #8 Kalle - they just left behind a theory/religion that justifies the worst aspects: power-hungry nature and innate violence of some people |

| #5 When Attila the Hun died, his empire of conquest and destruction died with him. He was a warrior-king. When Mohammed the Pedophile died, his empire of conquest and slavery continued to grow. He was a witch-doctor/king. The reason Islamist conquest and destruction is a problem is that Mo bequeathed a theory and millennial plan. Had he been a mere Attila, we'd remember his name --maybe-- but we wouldn't have to deal with the Islamofascist war on freedom. Lenin was another witch-doctor/king, who enabled Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. |

| #4 I can hardly wait for the ground breaking decisions, promises, resolutions, anti-Jew and anti-American blather that comes out of this UN "campaign". All the while, the Jihadi's will continue to blow shit up. |

| #3 The naked essence of UN moral equivalence: "heightened the sense of a widening gap and lack of mutual understanding between Islamic and Western societies -- an environment that has been exploited and exacerbated by extremists in all societies" You see, the mass-murderers are Moslem but the "extremists" are in all societies. What the UN and Reuters fail to state is that the Islamofascist war against the West has been going on for close to 1400 years. We don't need to "bolster ties" between the West and Islam. We need to decisively defeat that death cult. Ceterum censeo, Mecca delenda est. |

| #2 'Alliance of Civilizations' - that rather presumes that there is another civilization to ally with, and I've seen precious little evidence of that over the last four years. Also note the Rooters preamble - "apparently driven by Muslim extremism". Pathetic. |
