A note from Walid Phares on the UN Security Council Resolution on Darfur

An ordained minister in the Episcopal Church, John Danforth is quite a different kettle of fish from Rowan Williams and assorted defenders of the Faith -- the Islamic Faith -- among the fallen-away Christians of the Anglican church.

One hopes that the rallying round by the Arab League, of what is clear-cut genocide, by Arabs against non-Arab Muslims, will not be lost on other non-Arabs, both Muslim and non-Muslim, throughout the world. The first layer to peel away from Islam is that of those who are the descendants of people who were forcibly islamized and arabized but managed in the case of arabization to prevent the full process. The Kabyles, or Berbers, of both Algeria and metropolitan France, the Kurds of Iraq, are two non-Arab Muslim groups that have suffered, in the first case through a denial of their cultural heritage, even the right to use their own language (until recently). That was why the Berber writer Kateb Yacine could denounce Arab imperialism, or before him, in the early 1960s, some Berber writers actually produced pro-Israel manifestoes based, one assumes, on their realizing that their greatest enemy was not the distant "Zionists" whom the Arab Muslims were agitating endlessly against, but the Arabs next door. The Kurds have not forgotten that the Arab League did not utter a syllable of protest when 182,000 Kurds were murdered by Iraqi Arabs at Saddam Hussein's direction, and they are perfectly aware that the same thing could happen again, overnight. In Malaysia various public figures have complained of the "arabization" which they are expected to undergo. In Afghanistan, many remember the arrogance of "the Arabs" who treated the Afghanis with such contempt, useful for the Jihad but expendable, and certainly a lesser breed of Islam (this "unversalism" of Islam stuff is nonsense; it has always been a vehicle for arabization, and the Arabs see themselves, and teach other Muslims to see them, as the "first among" all peoples, the best of Muslims, the people to whom the Qur'an was given, and in their language).

If Divide and Conquer is to have any meaning, it must begin by endlessly emphasizing how badly treated Black Africans have been by the Arabs, who introduced the African slave trade before the Europeans did, and continued it well after they discontinued it, stopped only by the British efforts to put an end to the slave trade. Of course, there are still black slaves of Arab Muslims wherever the two populations meet -- in Mali, in Mauritania, in Sudan. And as Darfur shows, even being a Muslim will not save non-Arabs from genocide.

Nor should one forget the genocide practiced by Muslims against Christians in the Biafran War, which was undertaken, as the Biafran leader Colonel Ojukwu said (the Ahiara Declaration), to defend the Christians against the "jihad" from the north -- a genocide abetted by the Egyptain Muslim pilots who strafed and bombed Christian villages, killing tens or even hundreds of thousands. That this has been largely forgotten, except by the Ibo themselves, is curious -- it needs to be remembered, for it may be that the Jihad in West Africa can be, and will be -- with appropriate and select Western aid -- pushed back.

It has been said here before, but bears repeating. It would take only 5,000 marines, with American air . Let those victims of the Arab Muslim north be protected by the Americans (scenes of grateful black faces surrounding American soldiers -- so different from the murderously hostile Iraqis, even though the latter have been the recipients of American rescue and the promisees of American largesse that they do not deserve); let the President announce that the genocide in both places had to be stopped, that this was a humanitarian intevention, that the U.N. showed itself to be worthless becuase of the influence of the Muslim lobby, and that the Americans would stay as long as the local population wanted them to stay -- which is to say, forever. And a referendum on independence could be held, and the southern Sudan, with all the oil wealth, removed from the grip of its Arab Muslim masters, American bases set up that could easily reach both the MIddle East and North Africa (and, not inconsequentially, replace those in Saudi Arabia, for the less America has to do with Saudi Arabia, even if it still has to buy oil from it, the better.

The onward march, as Muslims see it, with their triumphal repetition of phrases abou "the world's fastest growing religion," would be stopped in its tracks. Win back black Africa, by propaganda -- joined by the efforts, supported by the American government, of Christian religious groups, and especially of black American clergymen. Tear the southern Sudan right out from the Dar al-Islam, and make clear that this is only the beginning. Time for the forces of Jihad, including the Saudi financiers, to think again about whether or not they really are going to continue to ask for trouble.

And in Europe, too, this will have its effect. For what can the EU appeasers -- Solana, Patten, Prodi -- or the French government appeasers (Chirac, D. de Villepin, Barnier, etc.) really do? Can they complain? Can they demand that America withdraw, and leave the people in Darfur and the southern Sudan to the divine right of the Arab Muslims to slaughter them? A bit difficult, one must admit. And will such black African states as Ethiopia, which will now have American bases protecting it from Egypt, which mutters darkly about Ethiopia's diversion of Nile headwaters, object, or be delighted? And will not black Christians all over Africa be emboldened to stand up against the Muslim assault that they endure, daily, in such places as Nigeria and even in Senegal, and Togo?

The way to fight against the Jihad is to discover those pressure points where, with the artful application of a minimum amount of force, one can do the most damage to the Jihad. The southern and western Sudan is certainly one of those places.

Out of Iraq, into the Sudan. Not a contradiction at all -- the first is a Muslim country. In the second, the invasion would be to rescue people who are either non-Muslim, and therefore can feel real gratitude toward their American saviors, or are non-Arab Muslims whom, one suspecdts, may be rethinking their attachment to the umma al-islamiyya. Push back the boundaries of Islam, and do it in a most public and decisive way. Forget about the "LIght Unto the Muslim Nations" project -- it will not work, it cannot work, and there is not the slightest reason to think that the problem for Infidels is the lack of democracy. It is the presence of Islam -- and until enough Muslims themselves are forced, through circumstances, to confront the tenets of Islam, nothing else matters.

"After the vote took place, a Jihadi room leader said "this is an attack against Islam."

Translation:

It is unacceptable to attempt to protect oneself or rescue innocents from the brutality of IslamoFacist torture, rape and murder. Living in peace with Muslims means; lower your eyes in subjugation and learn to live with the bloody IslamoFacist boot on your neck!

Wow, Hugh.

That post was simply awesome. You should be part of a think tank if not a policy body!

It details with breathtaking clarity not just lofty goals but a clear and logical plan of action. it encompasses both cause and effect, both action and reaction, and ties everything in beautifully.

My sincere regards!

Christian,Pagans, others in Africa MUST be protected from Genocidal Islam. A bit O T but as reported on Arab News, woman shot her husband in Saudi Arabia. After giving her husband 7 children, he married another wife presumably 'younger!!'

There are always thugs trying to have things their way:

In regards to this situation with the UN- Has the Kerry campaign made any statements on this?

"2. The Russian ambassador called for the disarming of the Janjawid. An interesting position showing the new Russian position regarding the Jihadist groups around the world."

So if this is the case why did Russia abstain?

===============================================
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200409/s1202238.htm
...
"The vote of 11-0, with four abstentions, on the US-drafted resolution also calls for an expanded African Union monitoring force and a probe into human rights abuses, including genocide.

China, Russia, Algeria and Pakistan abstained."
...
================================================

Don't hold your breath expecting the UNO to do anything but pass resolutions and wring hands. It's designed to allow every lawless, anti-liberty tinpot regime use dmeocratic methods and procedures to strangle liberty and law.

The pro-Qaida chatrooms say it all: you must respect our right to slaughter you.

"The United Nations Security Council in New York just passed a resolution (No1564) on Sudan, adopting the US draft."

I just hope this leads to a real intervention not more nit-picking about legal definitions and contexts leading to more resolutions. Now if only the UN could get rid of all the arab league votes...the arab league could do the most constructive thing they have ever done and vote among themsleves who is the most wonderful islamist nation of the month.

-and you will never hear a Word about that in the media, Resister. They'd rather not mention, eh KeithJoy?

Here were my instant remarks to my friend Walid Phares's "instant comments" following yesterday's
UN security council vote on Sudan.

Walid:

I would concur with the jihadis caterwauling in their e-chat rooms. The world may have woken up from its feckless slumber and "declared" war on Islamism.

Now for the intervention authorization vote on the UN security council.

Good luck on your October 1st confab in Washington. [The first gathering of ,middle east non-Arab ethnic groups.]

Hugh continues to amaze us with his breathtaking analysis and knowledge of the hagiography of islamism in its manifold permutations.

Last January, I had the opportunity to meet a colleague of Walid Phares in Florida involved in the world Maronite diaspora. Out of that conversation came a strategic vision of what to do should Iraq implode as part of a strategy against islamism,in pre Darfur Sudan on the cusp of the much trumpeted Sudan Peace agreement led by current US UN Ambassador and ordained Episcopal minister, former Missouri US Senator, John Danforth.

The strategic objective was to create alliances with middle east non Arab ethnic groups and those oppressed ethnic group such as the Kaybils in Algeria, who lately have come to recognize the tyranny foisted on them from the early waves of jihad conquest in North Africa from xenophobic Arabs over 13 centuries ago.

The strategic vision, modified slightly from the January, 2004 working drafts has the following elements;

1. partition of Irag into quasi independent confederated states that might seek to provide autonomy for the Kurds and Assyrian Chaldeans [many of whom have elected to flee rather than remain in splintering Iraq]. The northern mini-states would control vital oil fields arpound Mosul and Kirkuk and the aging pipelines to triploi in Lebanon and Haifa in Israel. The sunni and shia south in iraq appears poised to devolve into islamist "terrostans," an unfortunate consequence of the US-led coalition diffidence in combatting islamist insurgents intheir respective lairs, with Iran waiting to insinuate its anti-US efforts along a porous 900 mile long border to form a shia satrapy.

2. partition of South (perhaps, Western) Sudan accelerating the autonomy referendums "guaranteed" in the Sudan peace agreement and creation of an IMF form of oil revenue trust for development of the oil fields in the south of the country akin to that created for neigthboring Chad. This would prevent kleptocracy from aggrqandising the oil revenues while creating the economic revenue sources for job and economic opportunity development. It would also deny the islamist clique and Arab league member in Khartoum access to funding for fueling its jihad war against black tribes in the Sudan, whether, Christian, Muslim or animist.

3. Upon UN security councl authorization establishment of an immediate "no fly zone," as articulated in a recent Wall Street Journal op ed that would intercept and destroy all aerial support of janjaweed Arab militia razzias against unprotected Darfurian villagers. Given the breakdown of alleged peace discussions between the rebel Darfurians and the central islamist clique in Khartoum would appear to be a vital first step. Insertion of NATO and AU ground forces to protect humanitarian aid in the Darfur and adjacent Chadian refigge zones, as well as special ops teams to destroy the janjaweed base camps.

4. As Hugh has hightlighted in both North Africa and most prominently in the oil rich South west Africa nations, there is another partition plan to be considered, ironically one in which the US Congressional Black Caucus has been at the forefront. Nigeria should consider partition so that the islamist northern provinces are denoed state ownership of any share of oil revenues from both the off shore and on shore oil fields, under continuing duress and to stifle imposition of islamic sharia law. The proposed partition would also make use of the IMF oil condominum trust arrangements to prevent kleptocracies from being formed and to assist in fostering local economic development. This concept could also be extended to include adjacent oil rich nationms such as the off shore Sao Tome and Principe Island republic, Angola and Namibia.

5. Fostering of Kaybil or Berber independence from Algeria and formation of a secular regime with a return to Berber language and traditions would also be appropriate, as part of a peripheral strategy to contain islamist expansion among non Arab ethnic groups that comprise fully four fifths of Muslim adherants around the globe.

Ethiopia which is adjacent to the Sudan and has provided periodic aid to the rebels in the South, would have a stake in control of the vital hyrdrologic resources of the ipper reaches of the Nile tributaries that could create an important development resource and means of controlling water uses by both Sudan and Egypt.

That is the current "working version" of the strategic vision for rollback of islamist terror groups in Africa and the middle east.

Alas, there is no contemporary Churchill in our midst to advocate for such a vision. But the opportunities abound for its implementation with resounding poliical and economic benefits for all oppressed peoples in the region.

In Margaret Thatcher's days it went something like this: first the IRA would plant bombs in pubs and on buses, then its 'political wing', the Sinn Fein, would announce that holding elections for a new Ulster Parliament in such violent circumstances was simply not realistic.

Now al-Qaeda is blowing Iraqis up every day and what do you know? On September 15 Kofi Annan warned that "there could not be credible elections if the security conditions continue as they are now".

At least now we know who al-Qaeda's 'political wing' is. Surprise surprise: it's the UN!

regarding hugh's comment: "For what can the EU appeasers -- Solana, Patten, Prodi -- or the French government appeasers (Chirac, D. de Villepin, Barnier, etc.) really do? Can they complain? Can they demand that America withdraw, and leave the people in Darfur and the southern Sudan to the divine right of the Arab Muslims to slaughter them? A bit difficult, one must admit."

it should be difficult, but in the end, never put it past the left wing to embrace any position whatsoever (a simple day-to-day monitoring of john kerry gives vivid insight into this phenomenon). for the american left, the difficulty will be in not alienating their black constituency. but i'd like to see charlie rangel continue his quest to end the genocide (the only position i've ever agreed with him on). i think that a few outraged black leaders (maybe even the same ones who stumbled all over themselves to support aristede) would put the lie to the left's positions of supporting fascists, murderers, rapists, and slave traders.

Hugh I'm going to keep on your ass about this until you do it.
