US to join advisory group once shunned [UN Alliance of Civilizations]

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is preparing to join an international advisory group that the U.S. has largely shunned due to fears it would adopt anti-Israeli and anti-Western stances, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The officials told The Associated Press the administration plans to announce as early as this week that it will begin a formal relationship with the Alliance of Civilizations.

The five-year-old, U.N.-backed organization aims to ease strains between societies and cultures, particularly the West and Islam.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the decision publicly.

The Bush administration boycotted the group when it was founded in 2005 over concerns it would become a forum for bashing Israel and the United States. Those concerns were magnified a year later when the alliance released a report that officials in Washington said unfairly blamed Israel and the U.S. for many of the world's problems.

Since President Barack Obama came into office last year, the U.S. has slowly opened the door to informal dealings with the alliance, including attending some of its meetings as an observer.

Makes sense, if you can bash Israel and the US in the same place, that's a place this administration would like to be.

We need to pull out of the UN. It has become a farcical organization.

How can islamic nations be members of any group with the word “civilization” in its name? I would think they would be drawn to those that feature “barbarity” or “savagery.”

The Alliance of Civilizations will make Christian New Testament words (the Lord Jesus Christ's words) a crime - That is their goal - They don't want any religion saying that their way is the only way.

Like these words -

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

More New World Order setting up for the Antichrist. Solana set this AOC up around 2005.
