U.S., Jewish ‘Conspiracy’ and ‘Islamophobia’ Blamed for Arab’s Defeat in U.N. Election

(CNSNews.com) – In a rare victory for Western democracies at the United Nations, a controversial Egyptian favored to win the top post at UNESCO, the U.N.’s cultural agency, lost his bid to a European candidate, despite having been endorsed by the Arab, Islamic and African blocs.
 
Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni and his supporters had hoped he would become the first Arab to head the U.N. Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Instead, the 64 year-old agency will have its first woman director-general.
 
Hosni attributed his defeat to a conspiracy, while Arab media blamed the United States and Jews.
 
European Jewish intellectuals, including Auschwitz survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, were among those who called for Hosni to be denied the Paris-based post, largely because of remarks he made last year in favor of burning any Israeli books found in Egypt’s Alexandria library. He later apologized for the comments.

Yeah, and all those radio talk show hosts ruined it for him.   :bs:

Hosni’s candidacy has been controversial, with European Jewish figures leading calls to oppose it, based on provocative comments the Egyptian made last year.
 
Asked by Egyptian lawmakers in May 2008 about the existence of Israeli books in a library in Alexandria, the culture minister answered, “Let’s burn these books. If there are any, I will burn them myself before you.”
 
Hosni has admitted the remarks, but sought to justify them by invoking “the sufferings and injustice done to the Palestinian people.”

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I am afraid I can't buy into the notion of a conspiracy until I see a proper flowchart.  :-)

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
