Since when has following the official line, cheerleading for the US and kissing GWB`s A$$ considered ``bold`` and something that required ``brains``. What introspection? I am not an Arab, I do not believe in the theology espoused by the Khartoum Government, neither am I supporting them, in fact the US government has been cosying up to them recently- maybe they were promised a slice of the oil pie in the region. Who knows

Taking away the Khartoum government will not end the problems facing Africa or even their own country, the US brings it up as distraction, human suffereing for them is always background noise, the proposed sanctions would produce even greater misery for the poorest of the poor. Look at their hypocrisy, out of the $94.5 BILLION emergency war spending bill for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US gave $60 million towards a UN peace-keeping force for Darfur. IT does not require much math skills to conclude where their priorities are, not to mention how understandable it is for the Sudan government to resist all non African union troops because the UN more often than not acts like the whore of the US, when on the ground in a different country.

Following the official line does not require much brains or boldness, going against the official distractions often does.

Re#175 by Kulharee on June 15, 2006 7:33pm PT

You are absolutely right when you suggest {You will never hear any of these Jokers (Masadi and alike) to talk about the Darfur genocide. }

To have such boldness requires brains and a lot of these types have none. Even in social gatherings these types are afraid of being introspective, especially when a non-muslim is in the group. These types are still stuck in the sand dunes.

Respectfully submitted,

#175 Kulharee writes <<< Brother Salim .. I feel exactly like you do. Ummah is in a deep denial and refuses to believe that any of her sons can commit such acts. Some jokers come up with US elite theory and some others come up with some other bologna. >>>

A.H. do you even think about what you`re writing? The fact that the ``ummah``- whatever you mean by it is denying it proves that they are appaled at these acts. If these acts produce such aversion in the Muslims then for sure the ideology that this ``ummah`` is following, whatever it be cannot be to blame.

You blurt out stupidity like a damn fool and deny actual scholarship on these problems using slogans and other garbage. Whenever the West has brought up issues regarding human rights it has done so for ulterior motives and now it brings Sudan up for the same reason. Fox News has been at the forefront of ``covering`` this even as they wrap the barbarism going on in Iraq neatly in the flag and shout down all dissent. They do not care about displacement- they were willing to displace millions in Afghanistan and Iraq, that didn`t change their war plans, they don`t care about ethnic cleansing either,- though there is no proof that the ethnic identity is as strong in the Darfur situation as they are claiming it to be- they stood down as the widescale murder- traced back to colonial division of groups- was happening in Rwanda, and now in the civil war if the other side was doing most of the killing they would similarly brush it aside. They didn`t care when they bombed the pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, for showmanship, on which over a third of the population of Sudan was dependent upon, they didn`t care about any ``cleansing`` then did they? They talk about ethnic cleansing while butchering Arabs in Iraq and imprisoning African Americans at home, killing them violently at several times the rate of the whites at young ages, and they have the audacity to talk about Sudan.

There are problems in Sudan and Africa much larger than Darfur, they have to do with the economic condition of Africa and its division- both maintained by the neo-colonials through a debt chokehold after draining every drop of sweat and blood and resources they could extract from it during colonial times; sub saharan Africa is going through a catastrophie of disease, over 27 million adults of working age have AIDS, even as these Western pharmaceutical companies are blocking the manufacture of cheap generic meds for all, they are more concerned with profit, have you ever seen this media make these root problems a priority? You want me to take what these elite consider important for distraction and ulterior motives and ignore the wider context in which Africa is being bled to death? I will not do that, there are many forums for them to spout their BS, I will use the little space that I have to struggle for to get the clear message of institutionalized barbarism in the world system for which the US elite and their neo colonial friends hold exclusive responsibility.

Saima Shah #167 you write The annals of history will notice the resistance as a two paragraph entry in the beginning of the millineum.

Resistance to what and by whom? Fundamentally, the issue is one of taking power from rulers and giving it to the people. The Divine Right of Kings was taken away in Europe and by the American Revolution a couple of centuries ago. In India, it was replaced by the departing brits with a democratic government. In muslim countries, calls for a Caliphate or Islamic State are nothing more than the Divine Right of Kings being used to deny muslims the right to a democratic government.

I will agree that this ``resistance`` (as you call these feverish attempts to maintain kingships by exploiting religion) is doomed - it goes against the tide of history. In fact, it will ultimately amount to nothing more than a footnote in history.

KK Ghori {``The arrests, last week in Toronto, of 17 mostly Muslim youths, some barely in their teens, should be a wakeup call for the Muslims of Canada,``}

Ghori Sahib,
How many fricking wake up calls do we need? After a dozen or more attempts it`s time to let the poor slob sleep it off. He had no intention of getting up and will never get up, unless you throw some very cold water on his torso or burn his ass in grass.

It`s over. The damage has been done. The only unity Muslims display is the universal hatred for all of them by the remaining four fifths of humanity.

Let`s declare bankruptcy, change our name, open under new management, and this time watch how we raise our kids. Oh yes, disband ISNA, ICNA, CHICKNA, and CAIR for a new beginning.

By the way, a very good article and I mostly agree with your viewpoint. I just think that nobody in the world cares anymore. Muslims will destroy Islam all by themselves and don`t need any help from outsiders and kaffirs.

Re: # 169

Brother Salim .. I feel exactly like you do. Ummah is in a deep denial and refuses to believe that any of her sons can commit such acts. Some jokers come up with US elite theory and some others come up with some other bologna. No one admits that it could be the faith that is responsible for creating such monsters by the dozens. Look at the joker Zarkawi, what reason, if any, did he have to worry about Iraqis??? For crying out loud, more Muslims are butchered by the systematic ethnic cleansing by the Sudanese Arabs of the Sudanese Africans? It is more about who licks Wahabis azhole more to get 72 fairskined virgins in hell. Son of friggin bytches.

You will never hear any of these Jokers (Masadi and alike) to talk about the Darfur genocide.

swarrier #154 I dont make generalizations about Indians or anyone else - only with respect to chowk Indians and based on what they write. And what you write about Indians would be funny if it wasnt so true, at least with respect to chowk Indians.

[And what you write about Indians would be funny if it wasnt so true, at least with respect to chowk Indians. ]

But it`s still funny isn`t it? C`mon smile. Say ``cheese``.
Or ``sex``.
I`m told that`s better.-)

#158: As HP observes, I dont have anything to discuss with lying, pakistan-obsessed, self-glorifying, spiteful little twits like you. But I may toss peanuts at you when I have nothing better to do. :-)
