Sudan blocks U.N. official from Darfur because of cartoon rage

He's Norwegian, doncha know. "Sudan Blocks U.N. Official From Darfur," from the New York Times, with thanks to Twostellas:

NAIROBI, Kenya, April 3 — The government of Sudan has blocked Jan Egeland, the United Nations' top emergency aid official, from visiting the western Darfur region this week, prompting Mr. Egeland to accuse Khartoum of trying to hide the dire conditions there.

The Sudanese government offered various explanations for its decision not to allow Mr. Egeland, the under secretary general for humanitarian affairs and the United Nations' emergency relief coordinator, to visit Khartoum, the capital, or Darfur beginning Monday.

Jamal Ibrahim, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, said the visit was merely postponed because it would have coincided with the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. He also said in an interview with the BBC that it would have been unsafe for Mr. Egeland, a Norwegian, to visit Sudan given the recent controversy over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper.

Aww, common', they can't do that!

Or can they?

Egeland? That UN Jan Egeland who called the US 'stingy' after the tsunami in Aceh?

He, who was always such a sucker for Mohammedan causes and sooo chummy with them?

What will he promise them this time just to be their friiieeend?

Hey Dougie Hooper - just checked your action alerts, press center news and news breifs about this on going atrocity in one of your so-called Islamic paradises and as ussual, I have found nothing. No condemnation, no press releases, not one article.

Let me guess - CAIR also supports genocide of Non-Muslims?

Silly me, almost forgot, CAIR NEVER condemns the suffering of non-Muslims under Sharia law!

Come out and fight like a man you cowardly fraud!

Many of those dying in Darfur are Muslims who happen to be black and not arab. Hence, this is a race war that would make the KKK and other racial fascist groups applaud.

And of course, CAIR doesn't care.

LOL, this is funny. Egeland is the personification of the clueless, politically correct European uber-dhimmi.

Members of Congress -- oh, let's say Tom Tancredo and John McCain and Barack Obama and Diane Feinstein, just to make it perfectly non-partisan -- should introduce a resolution. That resolution will deny all foreign of whatever kind to any country that is reasonably believed to be supporting, in one way or another, the regime in Khartoum. For in so doing, they are supporting the Jihad against black African Infidels that has gone on for more than 20 years and has only temporarily been stopped by that phony "hudna" ("truce" treaty) about which so much has been made. And they are supporting the other kind of Jihad, that of the real masters of the Muslim universe, the "best of peoples" to whom the Qur'an was revealed, and in their langugage, and the people who claim Muhammad, the Perfect Man, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil, whose words and deeds provide the Sunna which is the real guide to Muslim behavior, and then those Arabic names, that reading, that madrasa memorizing, that recitation of the Qur'an always in Arabic, those five canonical prayers performed daily, as you prostrate yourself carefully in the direction -- qibla-wards -- to Mecca, which is to say, toward the Hejaz, toward Arabia, no matter where or who you are.

What countries would be most affected by this legislation, designed to weaken outside diplomatic and other support for the government of the Sudan? Well, there is Egypt, that stout defender of Sudan. There is Libya. There are other Arab countries -- indeed, there is the whole Arab League, that sees absolutely nothing wrong with the mass murders of black Africans, Christian or animist or Muslim, by Arab Muslims.

Write this bill. Bring it forward. Push it. See who does, and does not, agree with something about which every sane person -- that would include most, if not all, voters -- should be enthusiastic. Who dares to protect the supporters of the Janjaweed in Khartoum, or the supporters of Khartoum -- in Cairo?

Did this blatant disreguard for co-operation from a muslim terrory have anything to do with Iran's
vailed threats after announcing their new untouchable missle advancement to the world? Could it be that they are coming together behind Iran thinking that now the time of ending their buckling down to others is just around the corner? With Iran as the new nuke kid on the block and self proclaimed leader of the muslim world, why wouldn't that world tell the rest of us to push off and start REALLY dictating on us to tow their line?

Since the Arabs can't distinguish between Denmark and Norway, the next time an Islamic terror attack (I know I'm being redundant) occurs, attack whichever country we want to weaken the most on that given day. E.g. Indonesian terrorists launch an attack, level Dhaka. Fatah terrorists attack Israel, flatten Lahore. Lashkar e Toiba attacks some place in India, disintegrate Riyadh. Make this a pattern, say 5-10 times, and after a while, they'll be on their toes.

Sudan did not block the UN rapporteur becuase of the cartoons. Sudan blocked his entry to prevent him from seeing the jihadi-infused genocide which is ocurring in the West.

Muslims killing Muslims.

Will wonders never cease.

Is it because Mohammad said "black Africans have heads like raisins"?

What a perfect guy!

And what perfect lunacy.

At a conference of Arab leaders, Sudanese government officials stated that it was the 'Jews' who were funding the Muslim refugees in the Darfur region and that the 'Jews' were causing all the problems there!!

Makes you wonder if anybody is allowed to ask questions about anything in Islam?!

Mind you, when the BBC reporter questioned the Muslim commentator about this – she was told to ignore these types of statements, as it was common for many Arab leaders to blame the Jews, for many of their social ills.

Now it’s the cartoons, which are being used as the latest reason to continue with the genocide in Sudan.

My question is whether Egeland would ever come to any sane conclusion from this. And I do not think he would. I think that dhimmitude in Norway has gone to such a point that members of the ruling class such as him have not only lost any sense of community with their own fellow-citizens, but feel positively validated in being oppressive towards them and helping others oppress them. As Fjordman informed us, there are laws in force in Norway now according to which native Norwegians are guilty of racism unless proven innocent. The advantage of this to Muslims is obvious, but it should also be clear that this sort of thing also serves the Norwegian ruling class, by giving them an open-ended licence to blackmail and persecute their subjects in the name of Political Correctness. The appalling scene in which the editor of Magazinet (as I think the publication was called) was made to apologize in public to a gatherum of Norwegian government ministers and Muslim imams is usually taken as an instance of the excessive power and arrogance of the immigrants; but it speaks just as much of the excessive power and arrogance of the ministers. It is they, not the imams, who forced the unfortunate man to grovel. Compare that to Anders Fogh Rasmussen's clear statement that he neither had nor wished to have the power to order the press around. It is one of the mysteries of history that people who are greedy for power in their own country are often cringing and subservient in foreign relations; consider, for instance, the relationship of a Gottwald to a Stalin, or of a Mussolini to a Hitler. It may be that at some time in the future the Norwegian leadership will find it convenient to convert to Islam, just like Mussolini ended up making his own Fascist party into a low-rent imitation of Hitler's Nazis.

Another fine upstanding collaborator from the nation that gave the world Vidkun Quisling.

Doubly shameful as Norway has troops in Afghanistan fighting the kinds of people this fool seems to want to protect. How the population can send its sons across the planet yet tolerate this kind of behavior from its own government and non-natives is beyond me. Even the U.S. hasn't gotten this bad, not yet at least.

Posted by: Eisenhund [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 5, 2006 5:40 PM

can't the EU and the UN simply admit that they do not oppose genocide, as long as Arabs or Muslims do it to non-Arabs, non-Muslims.
