On March 15, 2022, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution on an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia” (IDCI), sponsored by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). India and France alone gave an Explanation of Vote expressing concern – that combatting the hatred against one specific religion was being elevated to an International Day for the first time.
How did we come to this pass? The UN has traditionally mirrored Christian values. Numerous sculptures and symbols in this spirit dot the UN, be it “Good Defeats Evil” where the “nuclear” dragon (made of dismantled US Pershing and Soviet SS-20 missiles) is being killed by St George, or the huge mural in the Security Council chamber, which combines elements from different Christian sources, including from the Greek Orthodox Church. A rare exception is the 11th century idol of Surya the Sun God, gifted by India in 1982 to the UN.
UN’s Abrahamic preoccupation: The UN Alliance of Civilisations formed after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack has now become nothing more than a dialogue between Islam and Christianity. The main donors keeping it afloat are Islamic countries.
