Here are some key excerpts from David G. Littman's statement, delivered on the floor of the UN Human Rights Commission on August 11 and reproduced today at FrontPage. You will be able to read much more such material from the UN Human Rights Commission, detailing the routine human rights violations that occur in Islamic countries and are justified on the grounds of jihad and other Islamic principles, in my forthcoming essay collection The Myth of Islamic Tolerance.
The GOS sponsored slave raids in the context of a genocidal jihad, resulting in the loss of more than two million black African lives and the displacement of over five million people. Tens of thousands of black women and children, possibly more, were enslaved during two decades of such raiding. Most of the black slaves were marched to the North and were forced to work for Arab masters in the towns, villages and cattle camps of Darfur – Ed Daein, Abu Matarik, Abu Gabara and Nyala are all towns in Darfur around which there is a heavy concentration of Arab-owned black slaves. The number of slaves in these areas has multiplied as a result of the rape of slave girls and women, as is constantly reported these past months.Slave raiding in Southern Sudan has been suspended on account of the current cease-fire between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. In the meantime, however, Sudan’s Islamist (NIF) rulers have shifted the focus of their jihad to the Black African tribes of Darfur, in particular the Fur, Massalit and Zagawa. In December 2003, Sudan’s President Omer Bashir openly declared a jihad against these tribes and ordered the mujahadeen to eliminate resistance in Darfur. We are now seeing the results.
I will bet you, the UN, who stands by and watches this happen, also considers this a form of Population control. Gotta cut back on those pesky Christians, dontcha know.
It should be noted that the Universal Declaration of Islamic Human Rights does not prohibit slavery - it only "abhors" its practice. Similarly, the GOS has made statements "abhorring" slavery within the territory it controls, but has done nothing to discourage or abolish it. In fact, there have been allegations that the GOS is encourageing the enslavement of the black population in Darfur as a reward to the Janjaweed for assisting the GOS in its jihad in the region.
Disgusting.There is NO Justice in the world for black African villagers who wanted to live in peace, harming no one.Again few if any Muslim protests of atrocities by Islam, that 'peaceful and tolerant religion' [Curse its Name!].As to keeping slaves : well we know this is sanctioned by Allah and His Prophet. Am disgusted too by Europe declaring situation in Darfur as NOT GENOCIDE when whole world knows it is.
The UN haven't had time to do anything, because they are too busy condemning Israel. And let's face it what's more important that Black Sudanese are being slaughtered, raped and sold as slaves, or that Palestinians allegedly have to wait 45 minutes at the Israeli checkpoints. Europe doesn’t consider the Sudanese tragedy genocide, but it considered Jenin a genocide as soon as the Palestinians cried wolf. And again what’s more important that over 50 000 died just in Darfur (but overall there may be as much as a million dead all together over the years), or that 52 people died (32 of whom were armed combatants). When Europe does the math than no doubt Jenin is by far the biggest atrocity.
"Morgane" & "gloria":
The pair of you are spot on!
Indeed, how delighted the UN’s been this week to be told that it need not worry about Darfur for another second - the EU and the new African Union have each found that the reported death and destruction there is NOT GENOCIDE, though conceding that today the Province is becoming a “humanitarian problem”. This difficulty - mainly one of delivering relief - should best, they both agreed, be addressed by the UN in “sensitive” conjunction with the Sudanese Government.
This is paying the pædo’ to run the kindy! Despite the EU and the AU, what’s been going on in Darfur, OBJECTIVELY, at barest minimum, is Ethnic Cleansing and, in fact, is a fully-blown, Genocidal Jihad of Arab Islamists killing black “mawalis”, non-fundamentalists (hence, to the “holy warriors” of the Khartoum-sponsored Janjawid militias murdering them, they’re all either heretics, schismatics or apostates - thereby richly deserving of butchery).
The UN, however, is totally blind and deaf to any of this REALITY, preferring its own, closed universe of denial and self-delusion. No surprise, since, increasingly over the last three decades, insidiously, the UN’s been ever more inextricably enmeshed in the malign manipulations of the Arab League - working through its geopolitical tool, the Organization of Islamic Conferences - for purposes diametrically at odds with the humane, founding principles of the UN.
The OIC boasts 57 Member nations, though one, “Palestine”, IS NOT a State at all, while a further ten countries don’t contain Moslem majorities. These are: Cameroon; Gabon; Uganda; Benin; Nigeria; Mozambique; Surinam; Togo; Guyana and the Ivory Coast. Additionally, three sovereign states rank as “Observers” (the first two, informally, as “Candidates”): Bosnia, the Central African Republic and Thailand - none of which are Moslem-majority either. The MAXIMUM number of votes the OIC nations can cast in the UN is 59, but, of late, there have been, sporadically, a handful of abstainees on some items - the erratic Colonel Gadafi’s Libya, independent-minded Kazakstan, American-influenced Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Albania, plus, occasionally, Russian-dominated Kyrgyzia and Tajikistan. (Turkmenia and Azerbaijan, where the Russians share penetration with Iran, usually side with the Arab League’s thrusts, as do the Francophone-African OIC Members.)
So, more reliably, that’s 51 UN votes - a bit over a quarter of the UN’s 191 Constituents. But, if necessary, the Arab League-headed OIC can confidently call up dozens of EXTRA ballots, from among the 114 countries of the Non Aligned Movement and the (overlapping) 44-strong African Union; in the UN’s tally, it can always count on Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Burma, Belarus, South Africa, Angola, Vietnam, Venezuela, et al. The League wields the “automatic majority” there, having cynically machinated the largest, single minority in the UN General Assembly (never hesitating to employ bribery and blackmail, disinformation, intimidation and subversion, whenever opportune) into a multilateral Bloc, specifically to execute its sinister bidding.
THIS is the tragic truth of the UN, which is held up as a Paragon by the pathetic “international community” - it’s terminally corrupted, co-opted, compromised and lobotomized, a sad echo-chamber for its odious Masters in Araby, who’ve hijacked and paralyzed it - save for what it can do for them, in pursuit of their megacidal dreams of planetary subjugation to their dark Totalitarianism.
Gary,
LOL, you crazy brother!!!
