Zeid Raad al-Hussein, the first human rights chief from the Muslim and Arab worlds, spoke as French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius chaired a special meeting on the abuses in the Middle East on ethnic and religious grounds. Both said the Security Council should refer the situations in Iraq and Syria to the International Criminal Court, and Zeid said the council should take unanimous action to end both conflicts.

Only an idiot would confuse multiple skin hues with actual diversity, which would require the tolerance of a wide variety of cultural and political beliefs.

But it’s the UN, so yeah.

The UN was talking about “ethnic diversity,” so they’re quite right. ISIS apparently doesn’t care much about ethnicity, as is traditional in Islam.

Of course, by any reasonable standard, ethnic diversity isn’t the most important type.

Duh. Become a muslim and you can be part of the big, happy family, no repercussions.

Or, you can be a dhimmi, be a second class citizen, and pay a dhimmi tax. Islam is perfectly happy with that as well.

Or you can do neither. Then see just how “inclusive” they are. What a bunch of dopes.

Since the liberal definition of "diversity" essentially means "no whites", then sure they are diverse.

Not that the UN is into buying into lies and deceit, it is their bread and butter, but that is probably just me, no rational thinking person would buy into such a conspiracy theory.

Ethnic diversity? Absolutely.

Religious diversity? Not so much.

They don’t care what color you are, so long as you are a rabid, fundamentalist Islamic.

They still seem to have a problem with sexual and religious
diversity.
