OH HOW CULTURALLY CHIC – AT 11:04 A.M. ET:  Do you laugh?  Do you cry?  Get this:

Masked gunmen from an islamic militant group torched a UN-run summer camp for children and teens in Gaza on Sunday, Army Radio reported, the top UN aid official in Gaza said.

John Ging says the assailants tied up the guard early Sunday, burned tents and vandalized bathrooms. UN officials say the attackers left behind three bullets and a note threatening to kill Ging and others unless the UN cancels its activities for some 250,000 Gaza children.

Two days before the incident, the previously unknown "The Free of the Homeland" militia issued a statement criticizing the camp's organizer, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), for "teaching schoolgirls fitness, dancing and immorality."

UNRWA responded to the destruction, saying Gazan youths suffer from heightened stress, and need opportunities like this summer camp, calling the perpetrators of the act, “people who hate life and children.”

Gaza's Hamas rulers have set up rival camps. Some Hamas leaders have also railed against U.N. camps.

COMMENT:  When Islamists attack a UN facility, you know just how extreme the Islamists are.  The UN is practically a front for the Muslim world.

Any comment from the Obama crowd?  Probably not.  They'd have to choke on the words "Islamic extremism."  Maybe Eric Holder can find that the Islamists really were just ordinary folk settling a personal grudge.  After all, Holder recently testified that there are many reasons why someone would commit a terrorist act.

And these are the extremists with which America and Israel are supposed to make peace.
