Alliance of Civilizations - the gist

"As published in December 2006:

The final report of the United Nations' Alliance of Civilizations
(AoC) initiative was released last month. In addition to its usual
goal of combating exclusivist ideology, the report contains some
interesting elements:

1) Exclusivist ideology is defined as "those who feed on exclusion and
claimsole ownership of the truth. (Christians, read John 14:6 as you
consider thisstatement.)

2) The core issue identified to be the bridge between the West and
Islam is resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

3) The global and problematic players in this conflict have been
identified as the adherents of the three monotheistic faiths.

4) Failure to resolve this conflict will result in a failed Alliance
of Civilizations.

Also noteworthy is that the AoC has identified the European Union's
Barcelona Process as one of the frameworks in which it intends to
operate. For those unfamiliar with the Process, it is the foundation
of the EU's political, economic, and social policy. The Process, also
known as the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, is represented as the
only platform that can solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The
social dimension of the Process, with implementation facilitated by
the Anna Lindh Foundation, cooperates with the AoC and shares the
common goal to combat religious fundamentalism worldwide.So what
happens to the adherents of the monotheistic faiths if the peace
process fails? Lucis Trust, one of the contributors to the AoC
initiative gives us an idea. In its publication The Rays and the
Initiations, Lucis Trust says that those faiths are but three dead and
gone religions with Judaism being old, obsolete, and separative.
Christianity, they say, has served its purpose and the new age Christ
will replace the Gospel with a new truth. As for Muslims, they will
accept the new age Christ as their Imam Mahdi "who will lead them to
light and to spiritual victory."

The objective of the AoC, therefore, is "to enforce an Alliance of
Civilizations against all those who…give prevalence…to a logic of
division and confrontation." Since the Alliance intends to be fully
prepared to enforce its objectives by 2009, I suspect that's when they
will introduce their symbol. Timing is everything. The European
Commission has just submitted a document to the author of the
Barcelona Process that it is time to deliver.

If the planners of the AoC really mean what they say, may God help us all."
