The Problem With Darfur\u2019s Muslims Is\u2026<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Not Arabs. Like Iraq\u2019s Kurds or North Africa\u2019s Amazigh (Berbers).<\/p>\n

While the European sycophants of medieval Arab oil sheiks, who recently sentenced a gang rape victim to jail and two hundred lashes, have and will be pouring in billions of dollars in aid and such to support the birth of Arab state # 22 ( 2nd, not 1st, Arab one in \u201cPalestine\u201d), predictably, all they mostly have to offer to support victims of out right Arab murder and racism is hot air.<\/p>\n
After the Arabs burst out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century C.E. and slaughtered, conquered, and forcibly Arabized millions of non-Arab peoples in the process, the Sudan (Nubia, etc.) held out for quite some time. In other parts of non-Arab North Africa, native Jews aligned with \u201cBerbers\u201d to resist this conquest as well.<\/p>\n
Back in the \u201860s when I was starting college, the Arab-Israeli conflict, as usual, never left center stage. After the \u201867 Six Day War–when Israel turned the tables on the latest Arab attempt on its life big time–Israel lost its status as David to the Arab Goliath for daring to refuse to go silently into the night while the rest of the world once again looked on\u2026as the latter is doing today with other Arab victims.<\/p>\n
At virtually the same time in the \u201860s, the first modern civil war broke out between the non-Muslim black south and the Arab and Arabized north in the Sudan.<\/p>\n
Sudan President Nimeiry’s stated during the slaughter of over a half million blacks at this time (and over a million more ever since) that\u2026<\/p>\n
“\u2026the Sudan is the basis of the Arab thrust into…black Africa, the Arab civilizing mission (Arabism and Pan-Arabism in Sudanese Politics, Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 11, #2, 1973, pp. 177-78).\u201d<\/p>\n
Rudyard Kipling\u2019s late 19th century poem, The White Man\u2019s Burden, supposedly typifies Western colonialist and imperialist attitudes towards the Third World. If that\u2019s the case, then what does Nimeiry and the example below, expressed in the Syrian Arab Constitution of the Ba’th, typify\u2026?<\/p>\n
] “…The Arab fatherland belongs to the Arabs. They alone have the right to direct its destinies…The Arab fatherland is that part of the globe inhabited by the Arab nation which stretches from the Taurus Mountains, the Pacht-i-Kouh Mountains, the Gulf of Basra, the Arab Ocean, the Ethiopian Mountains, the Sahara, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea.”<\/p>\n
Arabs habitually refer to most of the region as \u201cpurely Arab patrimony\u201d\u2026the Arab-Israeli and other such conflicts in a nutshell.<\/p>\n
The more recent full scale outbreak of violence in the Sudan has an even more revealing twist.<\/p>\n
While earlier violence there and elsewhere could largely be seen as modern extensions of the fourteen century -old clash between the Dar ul-Islam and the Dar al-Harb, the one in the Sudan\u2019s Darfur (as those in Arab-occupied Kurdistan and much of the rest of North Africa) is mostly about Arab racism and chauvinism\u2026pure and simple. You know, those folks who like to scream about \u201cracist Zionism.\u201d Over a thousand years earlier, this led to the overthrow of the Syrian-based Arab imperialist Umayyad Caliphate.<\/p>\n
So, in Sudan\u2019s western region of Darfur, it\u2019s Arab versus black\u2026regardless of religion. Ditto for Arab versus Kurd, Amazigh, and so forth.<\/p>\n
In Sudan\u2019s largely non-Muslim south, it\u2019s a combination of both Arab racism and the conquest of the Dar ul-Islam\u2026as exemplified also in the expected subjugation and dhimmitude of Egyptian Copts, Lebanon\u2019s Christians, Near Eastern Assyrians, and Israel, the Jew of the Nations, home to whom Arabs call \u201ctheir\u201d kilab yahud\u2026Jew dogs.<\/p>\n
Think carefully about all the above\u2026especially in light of the additional bare-the necks-of-your-kids-even- further concessions Israel is expected to next make for the sake of a post-Annapolis \u201cpeace (of the grave)\u201d with those still dedicated to its destruction–regardless of what the American President and his Secretary of State shamefully proclaim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
