I still haven't posted anything about the Arab campaign of racial genocide in the Sudan. It's a topic that I've been meaning to get to.

Some months past, while I was on the website for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, I came across a flash photo gallery from the Sudan, along with an op-ed piece by Jerry Fowler from the Washington Post.

Quote: in the cool desert dawn on May 16, at the Touloum refugee camp in eastern Chad, 2-year-old Fatima put her hands on her stomach, groaned and died. Her mother, Toma Musa Suleiman, in describing the death to me the next day, said that Fatima had been sick for 10 days. By the time she died, her skin was pallid and felt like plastic -- the effects of malnutrition.

I was seeing with my own eyes what I had been hearing about for several months: Children are dying almost every day in refugee camps in eastern Chad, despite a vigorous international effort to get food, water and other essentials to the more than 100,000 who have fled in fear from the Darfur region of neighboring Sudan.

They are among the 1 million Darfurians who have been displaced from their homes, most of whom are still in Sudan, according to aid groups.

I first became aware of this madness last fall, and was disgusted. It's another case of invading Arab immigrants conquering an indigenous people through murder, rape, theft, and displacement.

It's also yet another case of Kofi Annan watching the wholesale slaughter of his own people and not doing a damn thing about it 'til the global outcry reaches a critical mass of unignorable volume. It's the third genocide on his watch, in case anyone's counting. Insane examples of apathy like this conspicuously underscore the superfluity and corruption of the UN. But this is about the plight of black Sudanese, not Kofi Judas Annan.

In the chapter Arab Imperialism, Islamic Colonialism from his book, Why I Am Not a Muslim, Ibn Warraq draws from the work of Bernard Lewis, Michael Cook, Patricia Crone, Ignaz Goldziher, R.S. Humphreys, Samuel Huntington, et al. to elucidate Arab racism and primacy over all nations conquered under the bloody banner of Islam:

Quote: After their spectacular conquests, the Arabs were unwilling to concede equality to the non-Arab converts to Islam, despite Islamic doctrine that expressly forbade discrimination. But for the Arabs there were the conquered and the conquerers, and there was no question of the Arabs giving up their privileges. "Non-Arab Muslims were regarded as inferior and subjected to a whole series of fiscal, social, political, military, and other disabilities." [Lewis] The Arabs ruled as a "sort of conquistador tribal aristocracy," to which only "true Arabs" could belong, a true Arab being one who was of free Arab ancestry on his father's and mother's side. The Arabs took concubines from the conquered peoples, but their children by these slave women were heavily discriminated against and were not considered full Arabs.

The Arabs practiced a kind of apartheid toward non-Arab Muslims: "The Arabs looked upon [the non-Arab Muslims] as aliens and, regardless of what class they belonged to, treated them with scorn and contempt. They led them into battle on foot. They depreived them of a share of the booty. They would not walk on the same side of the street as them, nor sit at the same repast. In nearly every place separate encampments and mosques were constructed for their use. Marriage between them and Arabs was considered a social crime." [Cambridge History of Islam]

Racism has had equal time in all cultures. It's a universal human phenomenon. However, a fair amount of the world has now acknowledged it for what it truly is--despicable. It's still tacitly accepted in the Arab world, though.

Slavery was legal in the K.S.A. and Yemen as late as 1962. The notion that Arabs are supreme is based on, as far as I can see, two primary sources. First, the Qur'an is said to have been given to Muhammad, rendered in "perfect Arabic" (but it's not). Second, Arab Muslims swept over the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of the northern Mediterranean and the Indian subcontinent, virtually unimpeded in a remarkable series of victories. And even now, racism is still an important dynamic factor in the Arab culture of hubris, entitlement, and putative superiority. This is displayed prominently in Sudan.

With the Arab government in the Sudan and its cronies in the UN, the ongoing human rights disaster involving the savage treatment by Arab Janjaweed gangs of thugs of the indigenous black (predominantly Muslim) Sudanese population is only now drawing condemnation from the world. And still, after all this time, after so much preventable death and destruction, we're still at the "you'd better watch out or we might start thinking about drafting paperwork to prepare to enact a resolution which may result in sanctions" stage of confronting the Arab regime in the Sudan.

And in the meantime, "Palestinian" Arabs play the lachrymose role of the aggrieved and oppressed people in the charade of their invented victimhood.

According to Kofi Annan, head guy at the UN, Africa has had thirty wars in thirty years.

They are at all times looking for more UN money and troops to be sent there but it appears that if nothing changed in the last thirty years, nothing is likely to change in the next thirty years.

Almost a million people were killed in Rwanda ten years ago while Canadian troops were there.

International socialists and communists scream about these issues all the time but there is nothing the civilized world can do about it.

They have 52 representatives at the UN general assembly compared to North America's three.

I don't know why this whole thing is not taken more care of.

They said that Rwanda could have been prevented, but nobody did anything, and know they keep ignoring it. :x It's so confusing.

What's being allowed to happen in the Sudan is a disgrace upon us all.
