United Nations to ask for Muslim world's help with refugees
2006-10-14
The UN refugee agency will urge Muslim nations to boost multilateral cooperation to support the Islamic worldÂ’s nine million refugees at a meeting in Pakistan next month, said a senior official. Wider collaboration would help the UNHCR deal with crises such as the Lebanon war, the Pakistan earthquake and the Asian tsunami, said Indrika Ratwatte, the UNHCR assistant representative in Pakistan.

The conference of ministers from the 57-state Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), is being jointly convened by the UNHCR from November 27 to 29 in Islamabad. “Refugees and displacement issues in the OIC region are not going to go away. It is going to require a strategy,” said Ratwatte. “I think all the participants would like to see a platform to foster some multilateral cooperation,” he added. The conference will be the first held by the OIC to focus exclusively on the problem of refugees in the Muslim world.

#7  Well, as far as I understand, it's not they can't find the place to relocate the paleos, it's just they need the "palestinian people" to fight Israel on their behalf. The paleos refugees-from-generations-to-generations are a festering wound that is left open on purpose.

Fear not, a5089. Around here, that's a given.

#6  The muslim world - the ummah - has no refugees

We can arrange that.

#5  Don't be silly. Muslims don't pay jizya. That's the infidels job.

The Ummah has no state or borders, it's all the same to most muzzies. There are no "refugees" and "displacement issues" are simply the Ummah growing or shrinking or punching it's way into infidel countries.

Muzzi nations don't see it the same way the UN does. It's all jihad and demanded by faith. Kill the infidels and less pious among you - run ululating to join the jihad - borders don't exist. Or, stay home and kill the tribe next door - but jihad you must. Natural disasters? Inshallah.

So let the infidels keep paying their jizya while we get on with destroying everything our burkha-blinded religion sees.

The muslim world - the ummah - has no refugees as they see it. Just muzzies following their jihad.

#4  You're right about that, A5089. Don't think the coming Muzzy majority will exhibit the same patience toward non-Muzzy Frenchmen as you've displayed up to now. I think your women better get ready for a much tougher life lived inside a burka.

And on top of that, the paleos are given the usual arab treatment for minorities, umma or not. Truth is, charity is not a trait universally shared.

#1  Who the fuck's kidding whom?

These shitheads can't even find space for relocating the Palestinians and thereby ending one of the most horrendous conflicts in the entire Middle East. Yet the UN persists in hoping that the world's Muslims will take on the adoption of even more backward and parochial yokels?

Sweet merciful crap! What visionaries.
