Do Muslims Really Care About Other Muslims?
Or do they just hate the Jews? The death toll of Muslims in Darfur has risen over 300,000, yet all the outcry is for the Palestinians (who claim 800 of their population have been killed). From the Sudan Tribune:
January 4, 2009 (PARIS) -- Abdel Wahid Al-Nur, the leader of the rebel Sudan Liberation Movement, condemned the killing of civilians in both Gaza and Israel, and appealed to the warring parties to take into account the security of civilians, and the observance of international humanitarian laws.However, Al-Nur denounced the double standards of the League of Arab States and Organization of the Islamic Conference in this regard. He said if the Arab and Islamic countries mobilized 10% of what they are doing now for Gaza they could have prevented the "genocide" committed by Khartoum in Darfur against innocent and unarmed citizens.
He also underscored that Darfur people had and still have been subjected to the killing and oppression. "Khartoum deserves to be condemned for the genocide and war crimes committed" in the troubled western Sudan region, he said.
He also said that the number of people killed in Darfur -- death toll rose past 300.000 according to the UN -- exceeds the number of populations of certain states member of the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Darfur rebels have been angered and disappointed by the blind support of Arab states to the Sudanese government about the conflict of Darfur.
There's something to note here: Palestinians are white. The Muslims in Darfur are black. Despite all the idiots in prisons converting to Islam, especially those who are black, the thing is, Muslims around the world largely look down on blacks, including black Muslims.
Two very illuminating articles on Islam's view on and treatment of blacks -- here and here.
While I posted the 800 figure above (as the most unconservative estimate), note that it comes from a Palestinian official, not an objective source. Why aren't more Israelis killed? Perhaps because Israelis hold and protect their children, and run them down into bomb shelters; they don't use them as human shields.







Remember, Osama Bin Laden's pet name for blacks in a America is (was) "slaves."
Cultures based on honor are primitive. They're not into abstraction. They resent and seek to defeat any culture that allows a more nuanced and productive way to deal with others. They want to keep things nice 'n simple.
I dated a woman who had a son with severe physical and mental disabilities. Then she had a daughter in good health. When the girl started to walk, the son would get pissed off an try to knock her off her feet.
Everyone's much older now, but the girl's never going to feel a whole of lot of affection for the brother.
That's kind of how I feel about Islamic fundamentalists. They didn't do the hard work (in childhood) of learning to be patient with people who are stronger and cleverer.
