| The Arab Silence on Darfur |
| 2005-10-21 |
| With the backing of the Arab-dominated government of Sudan, nomadic Arab militias have been committing genocide against the mainly Muslim tribes people of Darfur since 2003. An editorial in the Washington Post on August 12, 2005, titled "Arabian Shame," criticized wealthy governments throughout the world for not properly giving aid to Darfur - while America had given 53% of all donations. The editorial was especially critical of oil-rich Arab countries: "This Arab indifference is shameful. The victims of Sudan's worst crisis, in Darfur, are Muslim, and aid to non-Muslim southern Sudan is essential. ... Arabs have every reason to care about Sudan, and yet they have done far less than remote non-Muslim countries." ... While some Arab writers have denounced the Arab indifference to Darfur, others have spread conspiracies surrounding it. On the Saudi government TV Channel 1, on February 3, 2005, Saudi journalist Suheila Hammad stated: "By Allah, this is a conspiracy. [The Americans] say so... There is a conspiracy in Sudan - Sudan is being divided so that Darfur will become a secular state, independent from Sudan, the south will become a Christian state..." It should not be surprising that the Iranian press has also spread conspiracies about Darfur. In the Tehran Times of July 13, 2005, Hassan Hanzadeh, wrote: "The war in southern Sudan and the Darfur crisis have caused serious economic and political problems ... In the region, neighboring countries, with the help of the Zionist regime, which is trying to weaken African Muslim countries by triggering civil wars, tried to dismember the great African Islamic country of Sudan by arming the Sudanese rebels. Their main objective is to create a Christian country on the banks of the Nile in order to end the domination of Egypt and Sudan over the world's longest river." Rest at link. |

| #2 Its not suprising at all once you consider that, in Islam (and according to the Koran and Prophet Mohammed (MHRIH)), Blacks (as in Darfur) have the 'heart of a Donkey' and are good for nothing but slavery. While arabs are holier then others. Islam is a very racist cult. |
