UN unveils plan to bridge gap between Islam and the West

Of course, neither "Preventing Islamic jihadists from carrying out terror attacks" nor "Educating Muslims to reject the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism" are part of the plan.

"Education and media aspects of UN bid to bridge Islam and West: envoy," from APP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

UNITED NATIONS, June 15 (APP): A two-year plan to bridge the divide between Islam and the West was presented Thursday to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon by the U.N. envoy heading the global campaign on the issue, known as the "Alliance of Civilizations." Speaking to reporters in New York after his meeting with Ban, Jorge Sampaio, the UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations, explained that the initiative is about "building bridges between societies, promoting dialogue and understanding, and forging collective political will to address the world's imbalances, tensions and sources of conflict."

He said the Alliance will be focusing on four main fields of activity; education, youth, media and migration. "Teaching about other cultures and religions heightens students' awareness of the beliefs and traditions that shape other people's lives," he said.

"Media consists of the most powerful means to promote knowledge about other cultures, understanding [and] mutual respect," he noted, adding that migration is "a natural bridge between diverse communities."

The plan presented today sets out a range of projects and initiatives which the Alliance will support and help develop over the next two years, including a media fund to promote productions developed across cultural, religious and/or national lines, a Youth Employment Centre aimed at increasing work opportunities for young people in the Middle East, and a project aimed at expanding international student exchange programmes, according to a press release issued by the Alliance....

It's just colossal waste of time and money after another. Have they not notice we have lost our taste for bullshit?

How anyone with an open mind can study the doctrines of Islam and end up "respecting" it, is beyond rational comprehension.

The worst belief system there is, apparently rampant in academia, at the UN, and at other national and extra-national agencies, is not Islam, but the one that dogmatically believes, in the face of mountains of contrary historical and contemporary evidence, in moral equivalence between civilizations.

"UN unveils plan to bridge gap between Islam and the West"

And the East can go to hell as far as old moonbat is concerned.

"...forging collective political will to address the world's imbalances..."

The old pig-in-a-poke trick. Dang -- if those commies worked as hard earning money as they do promoting their tired old lazy-ass ideology, we'd be cooking with gas.

How do you bridge a culture of the arts, sciences, technological innovations, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, individual human rights, rule of democratic principles, and a celebration of our "we love life" with a culture of submission, repression of the individual, repression of women, repression of the arts, dogmatic repression of ideas, unchallengeable supremacist religious ideology, rule of fear by punishments and threats, suicide violence, and a celebration of "we love death"?

We build bridges and they destroy them. How do you bridge cultures when one side of the bridge is civilized while the other side is barbaric? What kind of "natural bridge between diverse communities" is that, unless it be protected with pill boxes and armed guards?

We build bridges and they destroy them.

Indeed.

So the u.n. does admit there is a GAP between islam and the West. As my sister said "killing is on their mind 24/7. How can that mind set make them resourceful?


The United Abominations

A bridge into a volcano is hardly wise.

Or into a cyclotron.

Or meat grinder.

Best contain the Mohammedan lunacy until it controls itself by expurgating the violent psychopathia out of the Koran.

Till then, walls, not bridges.

And an unremitting call for Islam to reform.

Walls, not bridges....exactly, profitsbeard.

We all know the bridge building will be one sided, and all in the interest of educating us, the infidels, about the glorious history and achievements of islam.

It is not necessary to build such a bridge, when one is already in place. As I pointed out in JW thread, Islam is the backward of forward, evil instead of love, poverty instead of prosperity, illness instead of health, insanity instead of sanity, attack instead of peace. Hold Islam up to a mirror and you will see the truth. The bridge spans the gap between reality and fantasy, those who turn from fantasy and return to reality are called apostate's.
We dont need to build anymore bridge's, just hand out more mirror's...

"Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering international cauldron, the United "Abominations" as it were....a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity, and they get away with it."
-Dave Mustaine, Megadeth, United Abominations.

I think this says it all. The UN is a &*$(#ing abomination, giving a voice to the world's most vile regimes and bloodsoaked dictators. I imagine if the UN existed during WWII, they'd try to bridge the gap between Chinese and Japanese, or Nazis and Jews. Pathetic bunch of oxygen wasters the lot of them.

BTW, this is my first, but not last post here. I look forward to joining the debate.
Also, if you liked the quote, check out the new Megadeth album "United Abominations", it's full of anti-dhimmitude.

paradox...The UN is not only useless for it's stated function's, but it is detrimental to the interest's of the US people, and freedom loving people everywhere. In 1962 President Kennedy gave the UN, the ratified document,'Freedom from War, total dis-armament in a peaceful world'. This document is a three stage plan to reduce the size and power of the US military, while at the same time build the UN military so that no power on Earth can prevail against it. Unless it has been recinded, this is still official US policy. Google it...

…adding that migration is "a natural bridge between diverse communities.”

So is a siege ladder.

Personally, I'd rather not have our universities populated by more disaffected, ready-for-instant-jihad Muslims.

As for the U.N., they're going a bang up job working to destroy western civilization.

Since they didn't give us the details of the plan yet, here is my educated guess:

Step 1: destroy Israel, it must go, no discussion there
Step 2: hand over the rest of the world to the muslims, as if we aren't half-way there already
Step 3: closure of the UN as the Ummah will be complete

Closure of the UN is the only part of this I like.

Not a rap fan, but I might give it a shot.

Seriously though, every time I look at the UN I think to myself "where is a suicide terrorist when you need one."

Then I realize the answer: In the General Assembly.

The UN expert on racism, Dr. Doudou Diène, is on a one way mission: Racism is and can only be found in civilized, white society. African racism is virtually non-existent.

'Multiculti' and 'diversity' for him means Europe/America must take care of all the illiterate, impoverished blacks of Africa.

We must open our borders, how dare we keep them out. Doudou, one must suspect, doesn't know what 'chutzpah' means, but he sure has enough hubris to make a cow sick. Africa, of course, is for the blacks. Who'd dare to say otherwise?

Here's Doudou Diene:

“He said the Alliance will be focusing on four main fields of activity; education, youth, media and migration. "Teaching about other cultures and religions heightens students' awareness of the beliefs and traditions that shape other people's lives," he said.”

If the other culture and religion wants to destroy me, my identity, and values, you can STICK IT!

“migration is "a natural bridge between diverse communities."”

If they want to come here to dominate me and overcome me, they can go to hell instead (afterlife of course.)

“a project aimed at expanding international student exchange programmes”

Why don’t you just tell it to us plainly: “We plan another surge in the Muslim invasion of the West!”

"UN unveils plan to bridge gap between Islam and the West" "Of course, neither "Preventing Islamic jihadists from carrying out terror attacks" nor "Educating Muslims to reject the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism" are part of the plan."

Of course. Another one-way "dialogue". (Isn't that a "lecture" when you get right down to it?)

"Teaching about other cultures and religions heightens students' awareness of the beliefs and traditions that shape other people's lives..." Why don't we start teaching about WESTERN traditions and beliefs, and why they are SUPERIOR to "strike him at the neck and cut off hands and feet of the opposite sides" and "a man can take pleasure from even a little child so long as he does not penetrate"?

"...forging collective political will to address the world's imbalances, tensions and sources of conflict." He's right, all we need is the political will: isolate Islamic nations; prevent infection of Western countries by the rogue virus of Islam.

adding that migration is "a natural bridge between diverse communities."

I suppose what is unsaid is of migration of Muslims to the West. It would ofcourse be unthinkable that Infidels were allowed to migrate to Mecca. Not that anypone in their right mind would like to migrate to the cesspool that is an Islamic country.

and other cult-ures....What the heck is the UN doing? They been wasting their time on this? Where are their answers of what they did with the billions of dollars they took from sodom! The UN sucks!!!!!!!!!!

They will bridge it with visa's cards! Do we get one to go there?

I have over 600 million visa card people I want to send to Iraq! Unless they are Americanized citizens!

migration is "a natural bridge between diverse communities."


Seems like a bit of a one-way street to me..

Does the UN High Representative expect Muslims to give up what Mohammad tole them to do and what Mohammad did himself... Perhaps this man has been drinking toooo much juice, he obviously doesnt know what is in the quran and what Mohammad did..Getting Muslims to not hate and kill the infidel would be like getting christains to start killing those who didnt believe.. The Christian Jesus didnt NOT believe in violence, but Mohammad said that it is not fitting for a prophet to take slaves until he had made a great slaughter in the land...hmmmm Someone doesnt know their facts eh... not do they know the last three quarters of the quran and others of muslim books... Shame too as it could cause our demise...

No doubt, Ban Ki and the UN-High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations think they are going to show us how to fall on our swords with grace.

Instead of telling the truth, we are paying to disseminate their propaganda across the global UN platform. Thanks again for obfuscating the obvious truth that Islam is the problem.

If 7 is the number of completion in The Bible, let is be said again with resounding clarity...Islam is the problem. Islam is the problem. Islam is the problem. Islam is the problem. Islam is the problem. Islam is the problem.

I don't know where I first heard this, but one of the most profound quotes I've heard on this whole subject is:

"A conflict of values is not a misunderstanding."

"forging collective political will to address the world's imbalances, tensions and sources of conflict."

Traslation:
"address the world's imbalances" = Giving them money until they have a per capita parity with us, and hopefully then they'll like us, respect us, and treat us as equals.

"address the world's ... sources of conflict" = Dar Al Islam and Dar Al Harb. After all have submitted to Allah, then there will be peace, once the apostates (Sunni/Shia, Shia/Sunni, etc, etc, etc) are 'taken care of'.

Fortunately, it probably involves nothing more than conferences in exotic locations, sightseeing in far away countries, opulent dining on local delicacies, and press releases to justify their time and money spent attending these conferences.

Oh, and I forgot the obligatory condemnation of Israel 'for having the impudence to exist' at the end of each conference.

Unifying matter and anti-matter might be easier
