The Following is an astonishing disregard of the UN by an Arab country.
There is nothing wrong for Kuwait to establish a “fund for good living in Muslim countries.” It would be adorable had they established such a fund to help the Palestinians so the whole world would have
to spend less on UNRWA in the Gaza area. It is also beautiful for Kuwait to help support food prices in Muslim countries – prices that have increased in major part because of the increase of the cost of oil that
increased the cost of producing and transporting food. The poor lost in direct proportion to the gains in oil exporting States. Also that is fine with us – specially those of us that believe in a world of alternatives.
But – the real Chutzpah here is in the Sheikh asking non-Muslim countries to contribute to a fund that is intended specifically and exclusively to a Muslim charity – by Muslims and for Muslims only. Now that is plain discrimination
against all the other world poor that suffer from the increase of the price of food, and their leaders do not stash away in their Sovereign Funds money made from the sale of oil.
