A moment's thought: what is the reason by the Ambassador from Pakistan, several thousand miles from the scene, would object so strongly to reports of atrocities committed in Darfur by Arabs against blacks? The only conceivable link is Islam. Muslim atrocities everywhere must be hidden, or justified, by other Muslims. Loyalty remains solely to the umma al-islamiyya. In the Manichaeism of Islam, Muslims are good, no matter what eveil they do; non-Muslims evil, no matter what good they do. An example of the "good" are the Arabs killing in the Sudan; an example of the "evil" are the Americans rebuilding thousands of schools, equipping hospitals, repairing roads, bridges, and electricity grids in Iraq. The acts themselves have no reality; it is who does them that, in the world of hysteria and hate promoted by Islamic solidarity, nothing can be revealed that might harm the "image" of Islam; nothing done by Infidels can possibly win them anything but feigned or the most fleeting gratitude. Policymakers, wishing to "win hearts and minds" -- you can't do it. It can't be done. Not in a year, not in a decade. Whatever you give the Iraqis, they will pocket. But that's it.

But if chaos and confusion were to reign in Iraq, there is at least the possibility that out of such a mess, caused by the Iraqis themselves, a few local Ataturks might arise to deal with the real problem of the Islamic world (and our problem too) -- Islam itself.

In light of the following article about the Armenians (if I may?)~ Perhaps the UN is being 'narrow-minded.' It would be interesting to see which side the Turkish government weighs in upon.

Germane observations from Sir Winston Churchill, who fought against the Mahdi-inspired jihadists in The Sudan at the close of the 19th century:

Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. I, pages 16-17 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
“…all [of the Arab Muslim tribes in The Sudan], without exception, were hunters of men. To the great slave markets of Jeddah a continual stream of negro captives has flowed for hundreds of years. The invention of gunpowder and the adoption by the Arabs of firearms facilitated the traffic…Thus the situation in the Sudan for several centuries may be summed up as follows: The dominant race of Arab invaders was increasingly spreading its blood, religion, customs, and language among the black aboriginal population, and at the same time it harried and enslaved them…The warlike Arab tribes fought and brawled among themselves in ceaseless feud and strife. The negroes trembled in apprehension of capture, or rose locally against their oppressors.”

Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248,50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities...but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled,the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

It is about time UN inspections take care of threatened population of Soudan
Needless to say these teams should be protected by powerful NATO armed platoons in case of trouble
with local militias or soudanese "army"

I would advice president Bush to supply antiair missiles To SLA in order to protect non muslim villages from terrorist air attacks whjich occur nealy daily

Were 5,000 marines, and some air power, to be diverted from Iraq to the southern Sudan, the entire area where Arab Muslims have for 20 years been murdering and starving into submission the local population, they could seize and hold it, and deliver it over to a civil administration that would ensure self-determination, in the real sense, for all of the southern Sudan.

It would do many things at once. It would split black Africa, or the Christians of black Africa, from the Arab and Muslims who have used them for centuries to supply slaves. It would be morally unassailable, and the EU, with its three decades of Euro-Arab dialogue (and vilification of Israel, and worship of the "Palestinian" cause) would have trouble explaining why it opposes the American intervention which is designed solely to save -- at a time when in Darfur the Arabs have turned even on fellow Muslims, but black Muslims -- lives, after 20 years of utterly useless, deliberately useless, U.N. reports on the Sudan.

What would the impotent howls of protest from the Arab League do? They would simply show that Arab Muslim solidarity trumps everything else, that the Jihad in the Sudan is part of the Jihad against Christians in the Philippines, northern Nigeria (and southern Nigeria, where the Ibo and other Christians see the oil wealth from the south flowing north to support the Hausa military establishment).

This would be, at very little cost, a major benefit to black Africa, would save lives, and would hearten those, especially in Ethiopia (facing its own likely future clashes with Egypt and the Arabs over its intent to divert some of the Nile headwaters for its own use -- which Egypt finds unacceptable, believing that only it has a right to the waters of the Nile), and in Tanzania (where Muslim Arabs once conducted their slaving raids from Pemba and Zanzibar) and Kenya, both victims of Muslim terrorism, and even into South Africa, where Muslims routinely bomb cafes and other establishments in Cape Town that they find violate the laws of Shari'a.

It would take nothing at all. All Bush has to do is prepare, quickly, the long dossier of crimes committed in the Sudan. Then invite in representaives of black churches. Invite, to a later gathering, ambassadors from black African countries. Publicly bewail the ineffectiveness of the U.N. Note that "we cannot tolerate another Rwanda" -- and yet "the U.N. has been tolerating the slow-motion Rwanda that is southern Sudan." Raise the new issue of Darfur, and quote copiously from the U.N.'s special rapporteur for the Sudan. And finally announce that American forces have already seized the south, and that Al-Jazeera will not be able to broadcast its murderous and bloodcurdling version of the events because, at the same time, the Arab Satellite that makes Al-Jazeera possible has been put permanently out of service. Technical difficulties. Sorry!

--the U.N. has been tolerating the slow-motion Rwanda that is southern Sudan--

Again we see how the islamic murderers operate.
In the case of the tutsis, the genocide happens in a very short time and therefore we see for what it is -ethnic cleansing.
But when the genocide happens over a period of YEARS, we do not recognise it as such- it is described as militant insurgency or by other euphemisms.
As Arafat once said Islam can wait a hundred years to achieve its goals.
Added to the fact that the Sudanese are black and "unimportant" in the scheme of world affairs, it is understandable that the west has done nothing to stop these ongoing horros by the mahdist warriors of Islam.

Thanks for the Winston hurchill quotes.
No doubt he saw the the huge threat of Islamic domination as much as he saw Nazism for what it was.

This article, and also CNN refered to the executers of genocide and other crimes against humanity as " arab militia ", as if they were intimidated from refering to them as Muslims.

That also degenerates the situation into a racial conflict rather than religious motivated one. Again letting Islam off the hock, as it's adherents engage in systimatic crimes agains humanity.

Reminds me of the stink that Senate Democrats have made about being caught red-handed re: blocking judicial nominations in order to change the outcome in legal cases.

Where are the "Winston Churchill"s of today, a man who will stand by his convictions, and who will call a spade a spade, a do what is right by his own conscience? Alas, he has been buried by political correctness.

The West will be defeated by Islam, merely because of Islam's resolve to destroy the West and everything it represents, to bring it to submission by any means, foul or fair....

All you guys protesting online, are just venting your anger and fear where it matters little. Are you taking action beyond just banging your keyboards? Or are you working the political systems and legal systems to demand that your rights are represented by those who claim to represent you. Or are your representative representing their politically correct agendas and to hell with the rights and interests of the voters.

People of America, election is coming up soon. Are you going to support your president? No matter what your political leanings are, Bush is the closest you can get to a Churchil in today's world...

The enemy of islam is knowledge and science and the liberation of women, it cannot function while these three dominate, have u noticed in heavily islamised countries these do not exist, knowledge creates freedom of thought, science the need to seperate religion and state and the freedom of women means they are no longer under mens control.free women are muslim mans nightmare.

This is the same UN, compromised, co-opted and profoundly corrupted for at least the last 30 years by the dar el-Islam's potentates, that has failed - ushering in tragedies - at every hurdle over that period.

The Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Iraq, former Algerian Foreign Minister Laqdar Brahimi, last week tabled his outline in the Security Council for the replacement after June 30 of the US-led Coalition's forces by detachments from the armies of the Arab League and its cronies of the Organization of Islamic Conferences.

In addition, he declared that all diplomatic discussions in Iraq and in the Mideast were "poisoned" by US support for Israel. The Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, immediately had to leap to mount a defence of his Emissary's "freedom of personal political expression".

As well, Brahimi warned against American military sorties into Najaf and Faluja, stating that "there's always a better way than shooting your way in" - naturally, without voicing a single syllable of what this way could be (because he hasn't got a clue, nor has the UN).

The UN's been going south for 30 yrs - since Yasir Arafat was fêted there as a result of bullying his way in via serial terrorism and pressure from his cronies in the Arab League.

Subsequently, Arafat and these elements've bent every sinew to having the UN deal almost exclusively with their agenda.

Over the decades, the Arabs've stacked every facet of the UN with their lackeys, ensuring that no deviation from their scheme becomes remotely possible.

They've corrupted, co-opted and compromised the UN beyond salvation by this juncture. No free country should feel any measure of guilt at its censures - indeed, they ought to be proud: rebukes from the UN represent a badge of integrity; it's praise is a cause for shame and guilt.
