I was not going to address the Nazi-like spectacle of the UN "Conference on Racism" in Durban until one young man changed my mind. He did this while in an intensive care unit of a hospital. His name is Nathan Sendaka and he´s originally from Ethiopia.
Nathan Sendaka and his family were among tens of thousands of black Jews rescued by Israel from the violence and oppression that was their lot in Africa. Beginning in 1961, they were gathered in at Israeli expense, as were other Jews from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.
Many of the Israeli casualties in the ongoing Arab war of attrition are "black." In Israel they have the same rights and privileges as all other citizens (Arab-Israelis do not have to serve in the armed forces, though some do). Like Nathan and his brothers, black Jews serve in large numbers.
Nathan Sendaka had his lungs and torso riddled by shrapnel and his body badly burned the morning of September 5 while patrolling a Jerusalem street. He and his partner noticed a suspicious acting pedestrian carrying a parcel. They had time only to yell, "stop," when the suspect detonated a bomb.
Here´s the bitter joke: led by fifty-seven Islamic nations, the UN "Conference against Racism, Slavery, Apartheid and Imperialism" became a condemn-Israel hate-fest. This was more than an epitome of vicious power politics. It was a Nazi or Bolshevik "big lie" on the world stage, with most Europeans tagging along, just as they more-or-less willingly acquiesced in the holocaust whose horrors have been hijacked by the UN and its vocabulary turned against the original victims.
For 1300 years, the main source of racism, religious supremacist doctrines, imperialism and State-sanctioned murder and slavery in the world has been Islam. Like Bolshevism, it is a religion of world conquest, envisioning a unitary system in which true believers oppressively tax, rob, beat and murder "infidels." Like Nazism, it is based on a racial-pagan dogma in which non-Muslims can hope at best for the status of "dhimmi," subject at all times to the aforementioned intimidation and corporal pain.
Before providing a few details from the archive of the Coalition for Human Rights in Centerville VA (a largely Christian group on the web at dhimmi.com), note the following irony. There is no ethnic or racial test for Judaism. (The "moderate, progressive" Arab nation of Jordan, which still permits honor killings´ of women), recently claimed that Judaism demands "DNA tests" (Jordan Times, 09-02-01) The only test for conversion to Judaism is sincerity and knowledge of the commandments. Unlike Islam, there is no programmatic contempt for blacks, or the use of them as chattel, as is still endemic in Sudan, Mauritania and Saudi Arabia (though the trade itself has been banned in the two latter states).
Race hatred? The Ku Klux Klan in its entire history did not harm a tenth of the blacks that Muslims beat, enslave, rape, mutilate and sell every single day. As for violent religious bigotry, consider a few Muslim comments on Jews. "The resurrection of the dead will not arrive until you fight the Jews and kill them, as Mohammed says" (Dr. Ibrahim Mahdi, March 30, 2001, PA TV). "The Day of the resurrection will not come until believers triumph over the Jews, the descendants of monkeys and pigs" (Sheik Mohammed Abdul Hadi La´afi, al Hayat al Yedida May 18, 2001). "O you who are Jews, long for death" (Palestinian 6th grade textbook, reading from the Koran). "Jews are all terrorists and liars. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them, according to the words of Allah " (Dr. Ahmad Halabiah, Rector of Advanced Studies, Islamic University of Gaza, October 2000).
This is common fare in the media and schoolrooms of Arab nations. One response to the institutionalized religious bigotry, imperialism and racism of Islam is "a public information campaign to humanize the image of the Palestinian people with the American public," by the "Arab-American anti-Discrimination [sic] Committee. One Jewish State, no matter how tiny, no matter how stripped of ancient Jewish holy sites (despoiled by Muslims) is too many for the "Palestinians" and their fans. But during the 19 years the "the Kingdom of Jordan" occupied the "West Bank," the UN had no concern about the creation of a "Palestinian State." Nor did they demand that Egypt create such a state in the "Gaza Strip" that it seized in its 1948 war of conquest and extermination against Israel.
Indeed, when Israel began building decent housing for the Arabs in the "refugee camps," they were condemned by the UN and Arab States who preferred to use this population as a pool of terrorists (General Assembly Res. 41/69, Dec. 3, 1986).
The September 01 Declaration of the CDHR reviews the "xenophobic, supremacist, racist and genocidal" practices of Islam from its eruption from Arabia in 630 until today. Islamic States like Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Sudan and Pakistan have exclusionary practices and laws infinitely more draconian than the apartheid of South Africa, whose remaining white citizens are slandered every time the UN and its Islamists parade the term, "apartheid." From the first, Islam has lived by jihad ("religiously sanctioned collective violence") and Fatah ("military conquest") of infidels. Islam teaches that non-Muslims inhabit a dar al harb, a realm of war that must be pacified by the "true peace" of Islam.
The CDHR reviews how, like the Bolsheviks and Nazis, Islam aims to suppress, humiliate and extinguish other cultures, religions and languages. This is done through slavery, rape and legislation. Wars are characterized by hudna like the Oslo process, strategic "ceasefires" signed at moments of Islamic weakness to be broken by sneak attacks as soon as the "infidels" let down their guard.
Islam rules by forced conversion and forbids conversion to other religions on pain of death, as frequently happens to Christians in Egypt or in the "Palestinian Autonomy." It is particularly revolting to hear Muslims charge the West or Israel with "ethnic cleansing" since the policies of all Islamic States are based on the expulsion of Jews and/or the expropriation of their property (similarly with Christians in Lebanon, Algeria and Kosovo). The "Oslo Peace Process" is just a threadbare term for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish heartland of Jews, after the Arabs exiled them from nations from Morocco to Persia, nations in which Jews lived for a thousand years before the arrival of Islam.
Hypocrisy also pervades Islamic criticisms of slavery. Muslims ran the slave trade for many centuries before Europeans briefly became entangled in it. Indeed, Arabs ran the slave trade before Islam arrived. CDHR writes, "radical Islamic distaste for Africans is [intrinsic] to their racist system of supremacy. Muslims have ravaged Africa, enslaving tens of millions of men, women and children."
Among the requests CDHR presented to Durban Conference was a resolution "equating radical Islam and dhimmitude with racism, colonialism and imperialism" which is exactly what it is. And they demanded that the 57 nations of the "Islamic Conference" who ran the conference "apologize for jihad crimes against humanity, including the mass enslavement of Africans and others, including Europeans."
Don´t hold your breath. It was good that President Bush pulled the American delegation out of this Nazi-style Conference. But the best response to the hijacking of world diplomacy by the UN´s unelected hirelings of tyrannies is to terminate American membership, cancel our funding, deport the bureaucrats and recycle or destroy the building at E. 31st street, Manhattan.
A larger and continuing question is why the Anglo-American elite continues to sponsor Islamic fanaticism against European nations and cultures. This trend was identified seventy years ago, when it operated in Britains´ betrayal of its Mandate to "[re] establish the National Home for the Jewish people" and "to foster Jewish immigration and close settlement of Jews on the Land." Early Zionist and former ally of Britain, Ze´ev Jabotinsky wrote to the London Times, "among the incendiary world games in which some English agencies engage is the systematic galvanization of Pan-Islamic fanaticism in its most medieval form. Jerusalem is being transformed into a center of Muslim incitement threatening not only Jewish settlers but the entire European system. This short-sighted and dangerous gamble is strengthening not only anti-Jewish movements but those who aim at eliminating European culture" (Shmuel Katz, Lone Wolf, NY 1996, 1292-6).
The incendiary game playing out in the Balkans and Middle East was practiced by the British Foreign Office in Israel in the 1920s and 30s. Students of current events and cultural developments should study this period whose diplomacy illuminates the violent hypocrisy sponsored by the UN and practiced by Islamic States. Mene, mene, tekhel ufarsin.
Look at the trouble spots around the world and you will see that Islam is at war with the world. Muslims are intolerant and truly believe that their religion is The One True Religion.
Historically, the Balkan States were the front lines of the war between Islam and Christianity. The Serbs hold that view to this day. While personally I don't applaud their methods, I don't blame them for their view of Islam and Muslims.
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for any apology either.They made up almost 30% of the conference and manipulated the agenda. As long as Islam remains in denial of its past (and present) it will go on in its Jihadic mode.
Meaning the 800,000 Jews expelled from Arab nations post 1948. 43% of Isrealis are these MidEast Jews. They are going nowhere. They understand the Arab mind all too well ..... And are well armed so mind your manners all you would be destroyers of Israel
They call the shots in the UN via bribery and promoting the thirdworldist view of the planet. Which is balme European people for all their woes. When in reality the age of colonialism is longover and they have their own rapacious home grown elites who are perfectly capable of raping their nations.
