Yep but nobody has managed to cook up a story indicating that those "relabeled" pictures aren't real and nobody has managed to cook up a second story indicating that those 40 wives are real either.

So perhaps undisputed is not the right term. I lied. I retract. Unscratched is a better term.

what relabeled pictures?

It sort of drops a wallet at the scene. LOL

Do you have access to said forum?

One of your colleagues, I believe thinker, has been quoting the "not such a good idea" from said forum. I looked it up but it says it is for ministers only.

I am assuming that he has access to the forum or got access to it.

That is the closest to a retraction that has been mentioned but as I noted it was done on a super secret forum for ministers only

The other quote, a scrambled explanation, was on twitter the day after "the story broke, I believe on the 25th. As of a couple days ago, it was still on the twitter page.

Some footage of the "audience". To refer to this as "addressing the General Assembly of the UN" is misleading in itself. The General Assembly sessions are not held in April.

They are held in September. They are ALWAYS held in September

70th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 70)

The 70th Regular Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 70) is scheduled to open at UN Headquarters on Tuesday, 15 September 2015. The General Debate is scheduled to open on Tuesday, 22 September 2015.

Here is the official UN Journal for April 22, 2015. It's important to note that the muslim is correct. The 70th Session of the UN General Assembly begins in September.

HOWEVER, the UN is currently still in the 69th Session of the General Assembly. The muslim is wrong that the General Assembly sessions are not held in April, but ONLY and "ALWAYS" in September. Each session is for a full year.

Another note - the opening of the xxth/nd Sessions are marked by the General Debate -- a week of addresses by the heads of state of every UN member nation. This is what happens at the opening of every session in September. It does NOT mean that the General Assembly is ONLY for one week in September. The session lasts a full year. It is only the General Debate, the addresses by every member nation, which occurs each September at the start of the new, year-long session.


Here's a link to a PDF of the Journal to prove, yet again, it WAS an official meeting of 69th Session of the General Assembly.

I'll copy and paste what it says here as well:

General Assembly Sixty-ninth session

High-level thematic debate on “Promoting Tolerance and Reconciliation: The Potential for Religion in Building Bridges of Tolerance and Reconciliation”

Opening segment: Statement by the Secretary-General of the United Nations
09:00 General Assembly Hall

Plenary meeting: Statements by religious leaders
09:10 General Assembly Hall

As for this rubbish that the room was nearly empty and world leaders weren't there so it couldn't have been an actual or official General Assembly Session: Whether or not foreign leaders were there doesn't negate that it was, per the UN itself, an official meeting of the 69th Session of the General Assembly.

Is anyone really shocked that foreign leaders care little about religious persecution? Also, this is why each member nation has delegates. With exception of the General Debates in September (and Security Council meetings), most heads of state rarely visit the UN.

I'm going to repeat what I posted earlier about this. The UN is still currently in its 69th Session. The 70th Session you were droning on about begins in September, but currently it's still the 69th Session of the General Assembly. The General Debate is held each September at the start of each new Session. Each Session is a year long, not one week long.

Link to the official UN Journal showing there WAS an official meeting of the 69th Session of the General Assembly.

And this

This too

[NOT the General Assembly]

and <yawn> finally this

[NOT the General Assembly]

I truly see how someone could miss them. I wouldn't have noticed them either except I was looking for an empty seat and all those people were in the way.

Only one of those pictures are of the General Assembly room.

I'll repeat: This was a "High Level" meeting of the 69th General Assembly. You can stomp your foot and act like a petulant child all you want. You can post all the pictures of full meetings vs mostly empty meetings all you want. Were it just Stoneking, Wilson or someone else claiming this was a "High Level" meeting of the 69th General Assembly, you could argue all you wanted.

But you can't argue the official UN Journal and schedule of that day. You can, but you'll be wrong. And not because Stoneking, Wilson, Thinker or I say you are, but because the UN says you're wrong.
