Comrades,

These are dark times indeed…

If you do not know how to react after the terrible events in Orlando, please refer to the United Nations Islamic Terror Korrekt Response Protocol version 2.0 (UN-ITKRP v2.0). Your nation’s response will be given a score based on the korrektness™ of your actions (maximum score: 10/10).

1. It has nothing to do with Islam.
Every citizen of the affected country has to repeat the sentence “It has nothing to do with Islam” at least 15 times a day, even if the perpetrator made it clear he did it for Islam and the attack was applauded by Islamic terror organisations all over the world.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE: in general, not all data collected yet.

2. Change the color of landmark buildings
Owners of landmark buildings should make a colorful reference to the victims (a projection of the nation’s flag colours or similar).

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE:
World Trade Center, other landmarks around the world display rainbow colours

3. Dear Leader’s statement to exclude word “Islam”
If you are the nation’s Dear Leader, it is mandatory to make a speech about the events without using the words “Muslim” or “Islam” in a negative or accusatory way (this is hard and requires an especially skilled Dear Leader).

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE:
Obama Ignores Radical Islamic Terrorism Connection, Calls for Gun Control

4. Avoid being called Islamophobe
Members of the victimised group (artists, satirists, or, in this instance, gay people) should make extra effort to be apologetic towards Muslims, lest they be forever branded as Islamophobes.

CURRENT SITUATION:
BAD RESPONSE:
Milo On Breitbart News Sunday: Islam ‘The Single Greatest Threat To Western Civilization’

5. Imagine all the people…
If you are a well-known musician, you are obligated to perform a tear-jerking cover of Imagine by John Lennon five times a day in a public space.

CURRENT SITUATION:
BAD RESPONSE: Not yet happened.

6. Progressive crackdown on political opponents
If you are a social justice organisation, you have to use the nation’s paralysis to crack down on your political and ideological opponents, never letting a good crisis go to waste.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE:
CAIR Responds To Pulse Massacre By Ejecting Reporter From Press Conference
Facebook Deletes Pamela Geller’s ‘Stop Islamization Of America’ Page After Orlando Attack
Reddit Mods Delete Orlando Shooting Posts Because Attacker Was Muslim

7. Media: blame gun owners, not Muslims
All media outlets: if the initial cover-up of an Islamic attack fails, focus your stories on the “dangers of Islamophobia,” claiming that the tragedy would have been prevented by anti-gun laws, and that more Muslim immigration is the only way to avoid future Islamic terrorism.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE:
NBC ‘Law Enforcement Expert’ Blamed Orlando Terror Shooting on Anti-Gay ‘White Hate Groups’
Joy Reid on FL Shooting: ‘The Core Issue’ Is ‘How Easy it Is To Get A Gun’

8. Islamic response
Muslim clerics, oganisations, or nations: display half-hearted attempts at an apology. Your words will change nothing, so nobody really cares as long as the optics are there.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE:
Florida Imam on Orlando Terror: ‘Stop The Mass Shootings That Are Happening All the Time’

9. Doublethink
People who can read: use advanced Doublethink™ to ignore all written evidence in the Islamic holy texts that call for a relentless war against unbelievers.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE: in general, not all data collected yet

10. Shoot the messenger
Politicians and media figures alike should proclaim that people who warn against Islamic terrorism are actually causing it.

CURRENT SITUATION:
GOOD RESPONSE: in general, not all data collected yet

If a maximum korrektness score is achieved, a nation’s rank in the Korrektnes Scale will be re-evaluated depending on the Korrekt Response’s speed and intensity and based on subjective decisions by the UN jurors.

The USA has scored a good 8/10 so far; we will keep monitoring the situation.

The high scores at the moment are 10/10 for Belgium and France (thanks to the latest Islamic terror attacks), with maximum korrektness achieved within 35 hours and 42 hours respectively, thus providing a shining example for the world to follow.

Sad greetings,

Minitrue
Brussels, EU
