The 15-member body stressed in a statement posted to the UN website the need to intensify regional and international efforts to overcome terrorism and violent extremism, while reaffirming that “terrorism constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.”

Earlier Tuesaday, a statement issued by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson said “the despicable attacks today struck at the heart of Belgium and the center of the European Union.”

“The Secretary-General hopes those responsible will be swiftly brought to justice. He is confident that Belgium's and Europe's commitment to human rights, democracy and peaceful coexistence will continue to be the true and lasting response to the hatred and violence of which they became a victim today,” Ban's statement added.

Also reacting to the Brussels attacks, the President of the UN General Assembly, Mogens Lykketoft, said he is “horrified.”

“We have in the last week seen atrocities in Turkey, Ivory Coast and now in Belgium. It must be condemned in the strongest terms,” Lykketoft said in a statement on the UN website.

Interesting that the UN says it, but Obama is silent. He is complicit with all of this terror.

It has been going on for 1400 years. When are we going to get a clue?

Yeah, this is just the latest “surge” by these cretins. They’ve been trying of and on since the Seventh Century, only now they have the means to destroy the entire world left to their own devices.

Really. The EU has invited anyone to immigrate.
How’s that working? Unfortunately Obama is trying to do the same.

Did the UN blame Belgium simultaneously as they do with Israel and the Palestinians Muslims?

Talk is cheap because the supply exceeds the demand. What would it matter if Obama did repeat the same hackneyed sound bites that Bonky did. They all still suffer from the same delusional thinking that got us into this mess. Bush wanted to hit the terrorists where they live, and thereby defend the civilized world from these attacks. EUNPOTUS instead invited them to come live on your block, and—surprise! Thank you EU. Thank you UN. Thank you, POTUS. Now make your stupid speeches and curse Trump for being right.

Well, the UN always favors the Muslims and despises the Jews.

Notice that they repeatedly speak about “terrorism” but never mention that it is Muslim terrorism.

The clash of civilizations has just begun, and entropy is on the side of the Mooslims.
