One said it was clearly Pro-Muslim, and another said it was clearly Anti-Muslim.
I was trying to be somewhat fair, given the tone of the Breitbart article.

For whatever reason, some people have a fear of the UN which borders on the pathological. The UN is all bark an no bite. They talk. They pass resolutions. But, they can't even enforce their own resolutions unless countries volunteer forces. Hell, Saddam thumb his nose at UN resolutions for over a decade before the US removed his government from power despite objections from numerous UN members. People who are afraid of the UN have a tenuous grip on reality and probable still sleep with a night light on because they're also afraid of the Boogeyman.
Are you familiar with the Director of National Intelligence? Before 911, no one US intelligence agency coordinated foreign, domestic, and military intel and it turned out these agencies didn't share intel very well. To me, this Strong Cities United seems similar. One unifying organization which collects, collates, and disseminates best policies and procedures for cities to defend against terrorism. I see that as a good thing and Pamela Gellar as a lunatic fear mongerer trying to sell her next book.
Yeah, I knew the alphabet agencies had a stiffie for one another and they needed someone to make them play nice.
I suppose that doing the same for large cities makes quite a bit of sense.
I mean, let's be serious...... there are going to be egos out there that refuse to share information and egos that refuse to utilize someone else's.
But, I guess the question is..... Is this our version of Interpol and will we have the questionable (supposedly politically driven) situations that they've been accused of ?
