UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution Tuesday setting March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.

The resolution, adopted by consensus by the 193-member world body and cosponsored by 55 mainly Muslim countries, emphasizes the right to freedom of religion and belief and recalls a 1981 resolution calling for “the elimination of all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief.”

The resolution asks all countries, U.N. bodies, international and regional organizations, civil society, private sector and faith-based organizations “to organize and support various high-visibility events aimed at effectively increasing awareness of all levels about curbing Islamophobia,” and to observe the new International Day to Combat Islamophobia.

I’m surprised they didn’t pick September 11.

The best way to combat Islamophobia is for all muzzies to kill themselves.

Hmmm...

Wonder what the reason for Islamophobia is...

Maybe the UN could shed some light on it...

Could it be that they brought it upon themselves?

Shouldn’t they be over in Kiev doing some peacekeeping?

They found the urgent, most pressing need of the day. Sarcasm.

What about being useful and plan to deal with the worldwide food shortage soon to hit?

Leave off the “phobia” and you’ve got something.

Islamomisia is a better word. A REVULSION of all things islamic.

Same for homophobia. Homomisia is a better word.

“International Day to Combat Islamophobia”

Henceforth this UN high holy day will be observed with solemn stonings of rape victims, burning Jews alive, throwing queers from the rooftops, blowing up coffee shops, killing cartoonists, random suicide bombings, and the eating of much falafel.

Sorry boys, I'm too busy celebrating the Ides of March to participate.

Second straight year I've been wrong. I was sure Biden would be out of office by now.

My recent weather predictions have also fallen short. Two weeks ago, I opined that we've seen the last of cold weather in Texas. Last week, it was in the 30s.

The Eastern part of Europe is on fire, and the U. N. deems it
a great time to address respect for people who have been
taught to hate us their whole life.

Let them remain in their traditional homelands. I’m not
seeking them out to harm.

Wanting us Christians to be tolerant of Muslims, but never asking Muslims to be tolerant of Christians. Not playing that game. Withdraw from the UN . . . NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing Islamist know how to do is combat. They kill everyone, including their own family members.

I always find out about this stuff too late. Here it is mid-afternoon and think of the people I could have decapitated by now if I’d known to get an early start!
