UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday promised in Dakar to "fight against those who want to justify violence against the religion."
"We will fight against those who want to justify violence against the religion and promote understanding among the Alliance of Civilisations. We will strengthen cooperation between the OIC (Organisation of the Islamic Conference) and the United Nations in this area (religion)," Ban said.
He delivered his speech at the opening of the two-day 11th Islamic Ummah summit in Dakar, Thursday.
The recently established Alliance of Civilisations (early January 2008) is a UN institution intended to promote dialogue between the "religions, civilisations and cultures in the world."
The UN secretary-general pronounced his address a few minutes after his OIC counterpart, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who dwelt on the first report on "Islamophobia" issued by the OIC in Dakar, Wednesday.
He said that the Islamic Ummah summit was held "at a difficult moment for the Islamic world" before adding : "We pay attention to the situation in Darfur" and other predominantly Muslim countries.
"Israel has to comply with the law and international legality and show restraint. We condemn the Israeli attacks on Palestinian peoples," he said, calling both parties to the conflict to make peace.
He lauded the progress made in the Iranian nuclear issue. Ban Ki-moon also invited Iran, whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been attending the Dakar summit, to "comply with international legality" by honouring its commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency
Wait wait wait. WHO is getting slaughtered in Darfur again? It aint the muzzies...
However, the UN has a tradition of non-condemnation of violence against Jews and the nation of Israel.
Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.
Somehow that sounds a lot safer than fighting against muslim intolerance and muslim terrorism.
The Secretary General's chances of dying of old age just improved immeasurably.
Wait, wait, wait... all over the world muzzies are attacking each other as well as members of other religions.
What is this guy smoking?
Sounds to me like this Moon tard just openly declared the UN as an enemy against all who stand against islamist expansionism.
Big building, that UN. Hard to miss with artillery.
“Israel has to comply with the law and international legality and show restraint. We condemn the Israeli attacks on Palestinian peoples,” he said, calling both parties to the conflict to make peace.
You gotta hand it to the un. They pay lip service to Darfur and the only thing that they can say is that those pesky Joos have no right to defend themselves when 1500 rockets are launched against them in the last year (9000 in the last 3 years.) Maybe those pesky Joos could just usher in peace with the arabs by just marching into the sea //major sarc///. Or maybe the Joos are attacking the wrong folk—maybe they should go after the un.
How about Moslem violence against Christians and Jews?
