`Dialogue among Civilizations' should aim to gather adherents and

followers
Tehran, Sept 2, IRNA -- Iran's representative to the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Ahmad
Jalali, referred to the need to increase promotion of the concept of
`dialogue among civilizations,' saying it is the greatest challenge
facing today's world.
On the sidelines of the ongoing first educational forum entitled
`Dialoguemong Civilizations and Global Issues,' Jalali stressed the
fact that measures so far taken worldwide have been directed only to
gaining understanding of the concept and that little is done toward
putting it into practice.
He added: 'The positive approach of most countries towards the
idea of dialogue among civilizations highlights the need for dialogue
which concept has been evident among Western cultures and
civilizations since the late 19th century.'
Jalali noted that efforts to promote the concept have led world
countries to realize that the solution to public difficulties may
not be found just in one culture and civilization no matter how
advanced it may be technologically.
Referring to the role of institutions and organizations in
materializing the concept, he said that governments are not the only
representatives of world cultures and civilizations and that all
elements capable of promoting cultures and civilizations can be just
as effective as representatives.
Pointing to the indifference of certain domestic circles toward
the issue of dialogue among civilizations, Jalali said that it should
be exploited to the most to keep today's generation aware of their
past and to encourage dialogue with other cultures based on the
message in the heart of Iran's culture.
The `Dialogue Among Civilizations and Global Issues' forum, which
opened here on Saturday, is sponsored by the School of International
Relations of the Foreign Ministry in cooperation with the United
Nations University (UNU) and is aimed at devising practical ways for
conducting dialogue among civilizations.
The three-day forum, which is to conclude today, is attended by
representatives of the European Union and the UNU along with over 20
professors and scholars in international relations from various
countries.
Four main subjects that are being discussed in the forum include
`peace and international security', `human rights', `the environment'
and `globalization and development,'

Jalali forgot to mention the standard policy of the extermination of the State of Israel by any means necessary.

Of course, Jalali is talking about dialogue among CIVILIZATIONS, and clearly he doesn't consider Jews as part of civilization. Otherwise why would the official position of the Iranian mullahs and Imams be the destruction if Israel?

HERE'S SOME DIALOGUE ON THE ARAB AND MUSLIM VERSION OF 'CIVILIZATION':

Basically, the Arab mentality is to BLAME all their shortcomings and failures on others. Scapegoating is a tradition among Arabs.

Arab culture has never been one to allow for self-critical reasoning. They never examine themselves to see how they can move forward. What they don't like about themselves is ALWAYS someone eles's fault.

Saudi Arabia is ripe to kill every Jew on the planet. Has any Saudi citizen ever even MET a Jew? It's incredible how morally and culturally BACKWARD the Arab and Muslim people are.

Whatever they say is a total crock of shit, and they can spin themselves right down the drain as far as we in the United States are concerned. We want international PARTNERS, not crybabies and perpetual self-loathing accusers.

Look at the Palestinian Arabs. Have you EVER heard ANY Arab ever say that if they had only accepted peace and the partition, they wouldn't be in the situation they are in now? Of course you don't. It's ALL the Jews fault, even though the Arabs were the ones who invaded, it was the Arabs who rejected peace at every historic moment of opportunity.

So an Egyptian in some remote village is unhappy with the poor education his corrupt Mubarak government provides, so whose fault is THAT? Why, it's ISRAEL'S fault, of course. Stupid shit-head Arabs can't even think straight. FUCK THE ARABS, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEM ANY MORE, I JUST WANT THEM TO SHUT UP OR DIE.

Oh, yeah, the Arabs have 250 million totally UNPRODUCTIVE morons living on more than 99% of the land area of the Middle East, and ALL they complain about is tiny Israel, trying to survive against this sea of hostile fanatic backwards Muslim Arab assholes. INCREDIBLE.

If the Arabs think that we in the United States can't see them for the cry-baby immature scapegoating sheep-fucking retards they are, they are entirely wrong. We see, we know, and we begin bombing very, very soon.
