Darfur - Why UN Troops are not the Solution!

``Mankind in the 21st century has advanced technologically in a way in which our ancestors would have only dreamed of, yet our attitude towards the sanctity of human life remains stuck in the dark ages``

Very true. This is one of the greatest ignorance of today that we think that we have made great progress in history, which we, under the western political propaganda, view as a journey towards continuous betterment. The actual situation of humanity is however far from being ideal. Some of the friends in chowk say that the Muslims must come out of the mediaeval times. However the thing that they seem to ignore is that in actuality, the mankind (and particularly the western world as it is the dominate culture of the time) has continually been showing sign of retrogression and has often succumbed to what is hypothetically thought as the drives of the cannibalistic and veracious man of dark ages.
Only difference is that the cannibals of today are often acting in the name of civilization.

Yet it is not only the Sudanese Government who needs to rediscover the sanctity of human life, we all do.

And here lies the rub of the issue, the sanctity of human life cannot be simply protected by military means or UN resolutions, it requires a transformational change in our collective values and our political actions

Yaar Sajjad, you should try saying this to the Sudanese Black Muslims who are at the receiving end of the Janjaweed`s atrocities. They`ll feel comforted.
