Muslim microstates = Additional Muslim votes at the UN.

That means the Muslims will have a 'super-clout' at the UN to vote against Israel and other democracies.

Unless the Muslim microstates have a democratically elected body, they should not be eligible to vote at the UN as microstates.

If the representatives of Muslim microstates don't permit freedom of speech, press, etc. to their own population, then, why should they be permitted to express their opinions as votes against other democracies?
