Reason No. 53,878 to get rid of the UN

You really have to read the whole article to get the flavor of the dishonesty underlying the UN's anti-Semitism/anti-Israel policy, but this snipped from an article by Alexander H. Joffe will give you an idea of what's coming down the line:

"The United Nations has a justly deserved reputation for catering to extremists of every sort and for entertaining not only extremism but distortion as part of its everyday fabric. Nowhere was this more on display than at the recent seminar on 'Islamophobia,' forced upon an all-too-willing UN in exchange for holding a seminar on anti-Semitism earlier in 2004. Conceived as part of a series on 'unlearning intolerance,' the seminar aimed to confirm prejudices of the Islamic world toward the West, and especially the United States, as the sources of all Islam"s failure and weakness. The tone was set from the top, by the aristocratic Kofi Annan, whose platitudes included the ritual assertion that Islam is not 'monolithic,' and stunningly, that questioning the compatibility of Islam with democracy, modernity and womens' rights were forms of Islamophobia. The 'Other' was invoked, along with Islam's 'tolerance' for Christians and Jews (as legally defined second-class citizens), as was the qualification that the 'historical experience of Muslims included colonialism and imperialism by the West, both direct and indirect.' Terrorism and violence 'in the name of Islam' were merely cases where a few give a bad name to the many."
I think that, in an earlier post I mentioned that radical Islam seemed to have learned from Orwell's Big Brother. Just keep erasing the past, and the future is yours.
