Another United Nations summit in New York. Another finger-
wagging extravaganza. Another useless "historic declaration" (non-
binding, of course) to save the world (by holding another summit... in
two years).
As America reels from the latest terrorist attacks by Muslim
refugees and immigrants in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota,
the world's global do-gooders filled the Big Apple with their humani-
tarian hot air. UN. officials convened in NYC this week to push for
"collective action" to "protect the rights of refugees and migrants, to
save lives and share responsibility for laige movements on a global
scale."
Let me put this as politely as possible: Bug off, UN. nitwits.
Islamic jihadists are lopping off infidels' heads; kidnapping young
African girls, Christian missionaries and Western tourists; incinerating
Afghan schoolgirls; imposing mass genital mutilation on Muslim girls
and marrying them off to lecherous brutes while they're still in grade
school; pushing gays off of rooftops; mob-raping European women;
casting fatwas on cartoonists, filmmakers and authors; and stabbing,
shooting and bombing Jews, Christians and ex-Muslim apostates all
over the world.
For starters.
