Some things are beyond parody

For all the sins of the UN, and there are legions of them, I really find it a stretch to imagine the organization as missionaries Christians spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s hard to take these groups seriously when they come up with these bone-headed statements. Ynet News:
A deadly attack Monday against a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip was carried by an Islamist extremist group, according to a statement faxed to WND which claimed the UN was targeted because the international body was "spreading Christian missionary activity."

"The UN is spreading Christian missionary. We will keep hitting them and trying to kill them. They are trying to convert our Muslims under the cover of an international organization," said the statement, signed by the group Jihadia Salafiya.

Until now, Jihadia Salafiya has operated in Gaza as an Islamic outreach movement seeking to make secular Muslims more religious, but the overall leader of the organization, Abu Saqer, confirmed to WND Tuesday his organization recently opened what it called a "military wing" to target individuals, establishments and groups it claims are "corrupting Islam."
