Merging bigotry: Arabism & Islamism

Merging bigotry of Arabism & Islamism

The bigotry linkage of Arabism's supremacy and radical Islam, by A 'Short Critique of Islamic Fundamentalism' Around the late 1920s the Moslem [Muslim] Brotherhood was formed by Arabist thinkers racial supremacy [1].

Even though the Islamists and the Pan-Arabists had their similarities in the past (1940s - 1966), and their differences. And today those two movements still have their similarities and differences -- as shown by bin Laden's Qaeda, which represents the most violent wing of Islamism, and Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, which represented the most violent wing of Pan-Arabism , yet, The Islamists and the Pan-Arabists tried to cooperate with one another in Egypt in those days, and there was some basis for doing so. Both movements dreamed of rescuing the Arab world from the legacies of European imperialism. Both groups dreamed of crushing Zionism and the brand-new Jewish state. Both groups dreamed of fashioning a new kind of modernity, which was not going to be liberal and freethinking in the Western style but, even so, was going to be up-to-date on economic and scientific issues. And both movements dreamed of doing all this by returning in some fashion to the glories of the Arab past. Both movements wanted to resurrect, in a modern version, the ancient Islamic caliphate of the seventh century, when the Arabs were conquering the world. [2]

The goal of the Baath party was to adapt the racist and totalitarian ideas of Europe for the Arab world -- to combine the fascism of Europe with the ethnic traditions and Islamic orientation of the Arab countries. [3]

In the aftermath of 7/7/ London bombing a group calling itself: "Organization of Qaidat Al-Jihad in Europe" posted: Rejoice O Islamic nation. Rejoice O Pan-Arab nation. Rejoice, for the time of revenge on the British Zionist Crusading government has come [4].

The Arab-Israeli conflict is about bigotry, the same bigotry that kills Jews also kills Christians [5]

'Arab superiority', Qaddafi, Muslim Brothers and Hassan al-Turabi's life-long goal of establishing an Arabized and Islamic state in Sudan. [6] Dr Hassan Abdallah Turabi from Darfur, Sudan: We Will Islamize America and Arabize Africa The Arab-Islamic elite holds the view that it has a messianic mission to Islamize and arabize the South , in particular, and Africa, in general. The battle cry of the Arab-Islamic elite is total and comprehensive arabization and islamization of the South, and hence South becoming a stepping-stone into Africa. Our northern brothers have promised their Arabs "kinsmen", to arabized and Islamize the South. This has been the solution adopted by the ruling and non-ruling Arab-Islamic elite to the problem of diversity in the Sudan. In an interview with al-Sayyad, a weekly Lebanese magazine 1988, the Islamic ideologue, al-Turabi said: "it was our destiny that we (meaning the so-called Arabs) have been tested (perhaps, by God) with a complex structured country, almost representative of African peoples, with its languages, ethnicities, and traditions". Diversity, which sensible people would consider as a source of power and admiration, becomes, in the view of al-Turabi, a trial by God. In a lecture in one of the Gulf emirates, titled "The Future of Islam and Arabism in Sudan" (Mustagbl al-Islam wa al Arouba fi Sudan), al-Sadig al-Mahdi proposed forcible Arabization and Islamization of Southern Sudan. The implementation of this project required Ghazi Salah Atabani to shout at the SPLM/A delegation and IGAD diplomats during peace talks in 1997 that southerners "would neither get secularism nor independence" and that "the Sudan's mission was to islamize Africa".[7].
In an article "Arabization of Africa, and Its Killing Fields" Bankie F. Bankie wrote: The inquiries of the ICC into mass murder in the Borderlands creates the precedent, which changes the equation in the area. The attempted elimination of the Fur, the Masalit and the Zaghawa ethnic groups of Darfur is an exercise in ethnic cleansing, in the pursuit of demographic change, in order to Arabize Darfur. A similar project was run in south Sudan for some 39 years and is also now underway, which has received scant attention, in Nubia, northern Sudan, where millions are affected. In Nubia, the intent of Khartoum is to move the Black Nubians off their lands and to resettle them elsewhere, whilst bringing in millions of Egyptian peasants, for settlement. The purpose of all these operations is to ultimately make Sudan an Arab country, in terms of its majority population. This initiative has been on, in surges, for a millennium. Having failed to conquer south Sudan, the Arabist/Islamist global force, the same operating in Afghanistan, is moving to annex Somalia. After Somalia they will move further southwards. Some are saying they will thereafter target central Africa. Arab-led slavery of Africans in the past and in the present goes to the core of the relationship of Africans with Arabs. Joseph Lagu, the south Sudanese Anya-nya leader, on page 339 of his book 'Sudan odyssey through a state – From ruin to hope', a 2006 publication. Concerning his interaction with Col Muamar Gaddafi during an official Sudanese visit toduring an official Sudanese visit to Libya in 1975, he recounts '(Col Gaddafi) told us that other Arab leaders and he would like to develop Southern Sudan, but for that to be possible we should allow the South to be Islamised and Arabised. He said that he did not mean that we leaders should change our religion, for he knew we were already Christians. He said he referred to those without religious affiliation that formed the bulk of the population. He told us that for him to get Arab funds for the development of the South, he needed to tell the Arabs that Southern leaders accepted the Islamisation of the South. He made it clear to us that Arabs consider their aid to other people in that perspective'.
Turabi, who exercised power in the first half of current Sudan President Bashir's rule, pursued a deliberate policy of implanting Islam in north America, whilst Arabization was spearheaded in Africa, He's sent some two thousand post-graduate northern Sudanese students to the US with instructions to form friendships with African Americans. Many of these graduates are now in the public service of Sudan. As it happens, the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Farrakan in the USA, grouping Black Muslims in north America, has pursued a policy of support for the Khartoum regime, having taken material assistance from Khartoum. This, despite the facts that blacks suffer from racism, apartheid in Arabia. [8]

Activists articulate their grievances with Khartoum as a rejection of both the Islamist interpretation of Islam - the position of the current government - and the racist ideology of 'Arabism' aligned with Islam. [9]

Radical Islamism has common ideological roots with Pan Arabism. [10]

On democratization, Professor writes: Arabic, which supplanted Latin, Greek, and other languages, made the Arab-Islamic Empire possible. It not only endowed Arabs with their sense of superiority, but it also heightened their aggressive and imperialistic ambitions vis-à-vis non-Muslim nations. Accordingly, any Muslim country today whose population, like Turkey's, is non-Arab, should be induced to remove Arabic from its public law and public education and make its own native language the only official language of the state. This will simultaneously counteract pan-Arab and pan-Islamic movements as well as international terrorism. It will also facilitate democratization of Muslim countries [11]

A. N. Pasko: (March 22, 2004) ...As the discussion of "democratization" of the Middle East continues, an important point that must be made time and time again, is the importance in building structures that liberate the minorities of the region from oppression. Non-Arab and Non-Muslim minorities live throughout North Africa and the Middle East. Contrary to the propaganda that the region is Arab/Muslim, these minorities are remnants of the indigenous peoples, before the great Arab imperialist wars of the 7th century, and "Islamicization process" that followed. Non-Arab Muslims like the Kurds in Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran; the Berbers - known as Amazighes - in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, have all resisted "Arabization" for over 1,000 years. Non-Muslims like the Assyrian Christians in Iraq - who argue that they are not Arabs - the Copts in Egypt, Christian Lebanese - many who claim not to be Arab but Phoenician - the Christians in Sudan, and other Christians throughout the region, have been persecuted minorities, since the rise of Islam. Others like the Druze and Jews have also been persecuted by Arab/Muslim regimes throughout history. And we can now see, from the recent Sunni terror attacks on Shiites in Iraq - and Bin Laden's recent statements that Shiites are heretics - that even some Muslims - Shiites and other non-Sunnis - are persecuted minorities in parts of the Middle East.
Only Israel, the Jewish State, has fully liberated itself - in the political sense - from this Arab/Muslim oppression, although it still suffers from physical violence against her people... [12]

Complaints of persecution of Berbers by Arab authorities through both exclusivities: Arabism and Islamism. [13] [14]

Bin Laden and al-Qaida loyalists were given haven in Sudan from 1991-1996 until al-Bashir expelled them under U.S. pressure. [15]

Arch Pan Arabist: Saddam Hussein & Islam

From Saddam Hussein's ideology: "Pan-Arabism has always said that Mohammed is the forefather of pan-Arabism and that Islam was spoiled when it crossed the borders of the Arab world to Iran and Turkey. The task now is to 're-animate' the real Islam that was taught by Mohammed as an Arab ideology. Especially during the Iran-Iraq war, when Iraq had to face the Iranian revolution, they loaded their own ideology with Islamic content. The Iranians and the Zionists, they said, are part of a 2,000-year-old plot to smash Iraq and divide the Arabs. `We are fighting for the real Islam' the regime said, not the kind of spoiled Islam that Iran represents. I think it was a mistake for the Americans to believe, as they did, that Iraq was a stronghold against Islam." [16], During the years of the Iran-Iraq war, (where a million people lost their lives [17][18]) Saddam tied himself to Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqas, an early Arab warrior who brought Islam to Iran. [19], pan-Arab leader like Saddam Hussein had to "brandish his religious credentials" to justify his invasion of Kuwait [10], he had Koran [Quran] written in his blood for Baghdad's "Mother of All Battles" Mosque [11], From his speech to the people of Basra "... Serving Islam and Arabism. The firm stand of jihad is the destiny of the people..." [12], he called on all Muslims to "fight the infidels", a holy war [13], many Sunni Arab Muslims & especially militant Al Qaeda revere him as a "holy Muslim man", a great "holy warrior of all", "The mujahed Saddam Hussein" [14] and held a Quran all the time during his trial. [15] he died on the gallows clutching a Quran while shouting "Allah Akbar". [16] the chorus of lamentation for Saddam consists of a few isolated figures espousing the bankrupt ideologies of pan-Arabism and Islamism. [17]

Regarding the worries of Kurds, Kurdistan in Iraq, From "The Future of Kurdistan in Iraq" (by Brendan O'Leary, John McGarry, Khaled Salih - 2006) Page 304: if it were ever to become unified, it would be under an Arabist program, with a racist agenda for Kurds and an Islamist one for non-Muslims and Muslims. [18]

At The 2006 Sixth Pan-Arab and Islamic Conference, The jihadists led by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi (ties with the 'Muslim Brotherhood' and a contributor to the 'IslamOnline' website, described as 'Theologian of Terror' [19] and as an 'Islamofascist,' enemy of the West [20], on January, 2009 on Al-Jazeera Incites Against Jews, Arab Regimes, and the U.S.; Calls on Muslims to Boycott Starbucks and Others; Says 'Oh Allah, Take This Oppressive, Jewish, Zionist Band of People... And Kill Them, Down to the Very Last One' [21] British lawmakers slammed Al Jazeera over it [22] [23]) , included Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, Hizbullah leader Hassan Hadroug and the Iraqi Sunni jihadist ideologue Sheikh Hathir al-Dari, Among the pan-Arabists was Khair al-Din Haseeb, who the US Army refers to as the "father of pan-Arab nationalism." Qaradawi announced that the goal of the conference was to merge the pan-Arab and Islamic wars against the US and Israel specifically and against the infidels generally. as he put it, "Pan-Arabism and Islam are very closely linked" [24].

One of the classical combination of pan-Arabism & pan-Islamism possessed the Mufti of Jerusalem, Husseini is a perfect manifestation of how jihadists, violent Arab nationalists and fascists collide [25], he had a pan-Arabism, pan Islamist character [26], (Jihad and) pan-Arabism in its violent form find a common root in him [27]. he influenced Arabism to continue to wage war against non-Islamic nations and peoples [28].

Though The Arab population from 1920-1930 generally reaped the benefits of Jewish immigration, and did not oppose the establishment Jewish National Home, there was one man who attempted to breathe life into a national movement: this was the Mufti, Haj Amin al Husseini. The Mufti knew that nationalist slogans alone would not succeed in uniting the masses against Zionism. He therefore turned the struggle into a religious conflict. He addressed the masses clearly, calling for a holy war. His battle cry was simple and comprehensive: "Down with the Infidels!" From the time Herbert Samuel appointed him to the position of Mufti, Haj Amin worked vigorously to raise Jerusalem's status as an Islamic holy center. He renovated the mosques on the Temple Mount, while conducting an unceasing campaign regarding the imminent Jewish "threat" to Moslem holy sites. In 1943 Amin Al-Husseini is made Prime Minister of Pan-Arab Government by Nazi regime. His headquarters are in Berlin. [29], Right after the Allied victory in El Alamein, Jerusalem's grand mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, took to the airwaves and broadcast in Arabic from Berlin. At that time he already was "prime minister" of a pan-Arab government formed in the German capital. His foreign minister was exiled Iraqi leader Rashid Ali al-Kilani and his war minister, Fawsi al-Kaukji. [30], from Chuck Morse's book, 'The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism': The Nazi Holocaust appears to have kicked into high gear on November 25, 1941 during a Berlin meeting between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini (1895-1974) and the Nazi Fuhrer of Germany, Adolf Hitler. At that well-documented meeting, Hitler promised al-Husseini, the "Palestinian" pan-Arab leader, that after securing a dominant military position in Europe, he would send the Wehrmacht, the Nazi war machine, on a blitzkrieg across the Caucasus and into the Arab world under the guise of liberating the Arabs from British occupation. [31], The Mufti, after instigating a pogrom against Jews in Palestine in 1920, the first such pogrom against Jews in the Arab world in hundreds of years, went on to inspire the development of pro-Nazi parties throughout the Arab world including Young Egypt, led by Gamal Abdul Nasser, and the Social Nationalist Party of Syria led by Anton Sa'ada. [32]

All minorities living within the Arab world are under siege. Tunisian human rights activist Muhammad Bechri has traced this to the "twin fascisms" - his term - that dominate the Arab world, Islamism and pan-Arabism. The first promotes murderous intolerance of religious minorities. It helps explain why Christians are under siege across the Arab world and why Sudan enjoyed broad Arab support as it killed some two million non-Muslim blacks in the south of the country. Pan-Arabism translates into endorsement of murderous policies toward Muslim but non-Arab groups and accounts for Arab support for Saddam Hussein as he slaughtered 200,000 Kurds in northern Iraq, as well as backing for Sudanese policies toward the Muslim but black population of Darfur.

The Arab world is not about to make an exception for the Jews. This broad intolerance of minorities is further evidence of how unlikely it is the Arab world will accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state in its midst any time soon. [33]

From the inaugural lecture for the Canadian Coalition for Democracies' Annual Begin-Sadat November 2006, it becomes unmistakably clear that the men who killed Sadat on October 6, 1981 were forerunners of those who flew passenger jetliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington on that fateful morning of September 11, 2001 unleashing a whirlwind of hatred and bigotry emanating from the deep toxic bowels of a medieval age that still clings to our world at the beginning of the twenty-first century (Thousands of suspected terrorists were rounded up and jailed, among them Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who was later convicted of conspiring to blow up New York City landmarks, and Ayman al-Zawahiri, one of Osama bin Laden's two top lieutenants [34])... Sadat was part of the milieu that killed him, and the reason for his murder was his journey to Jerusalemseen as a betrayal of Arabism – the mix of nationalism and Islamism – of which he was a product. [35]

Arab Intellectual writes on the Worsening Situation and the exclusion of Christians almost completely from the dominant Islamic Arabism - to the point where, in some countries, Christian teachers have been banned. [36]

So writes an Assyrian as well: ...about the Arab/Muslim civilization. As an Assyrian, a non-Arab, Christian native of the Middle East, whose ancestors reach back to 5000 B.C., I wish to clarify some points you made in this little story, and to alert you to the dangers of unwittingly being drawn into the Arabist/Islamist ideology, which seeks to assimilate all cultures and religions into the Arab/Islamic fold. [...] There are minorities and nations struggling for survival in the Arab/Muslim ocean of the Middle East and Africa (Assyrians, Armenians, Coptics, Jews, southern Sudanese, Ethiopians, Nigerians...), and we must be very sensitive not to unwittingly and inadvertently support Islamic fascism and Arab Imperialism, with their attempts to wipe out all other cultures, religions and civilizations. It is incumbent upon each one of us to do our homework and research when making statements and speeches about these sensitive matters. [37]

Analysis on the conflicts in the middle east: 'Peace will prevail when economic, social and cultural rights are granted to all' ... Arabism and Islam - synonyms embodies discrimination against various ethnic and religious groups in the Middle east... Conclusion Most regimes in Middle East are authoritarian, if not dictatorships, ruling for decades by fear or reward. The elites who rule in Middle East countries used religious faith with ideology of nationalism for blinding people and controlling them ... conflicts in the Middle East all look different, but the real cause root is related to human rights abuses. [38]

In 2007 there was wide objection to the opening of the 'Arab school' KGIA in New York as it involves the inculcating pan-Arabism and radical Islam [39], as part of 'The Arabist and Islamist Baggage of Arabic Language Instruction' [40] Middlebury instructors push the idea that Arab identity trumps local identities and that respect for minority ethnic and sectarian communities betrays Arabism. [41]

Iranian pundit: Definition of Pan Arabism: Pan Arabism = Expansion of Arab Nation via unification of All Arab countries via tool of Islam as a primary step. The secondary step will be revival and recreation of the Islamic Empire. [42]

Pan-Arabism or the doctrine of Muslim Caliphate declares that all land that used to belong to Muslims must be returned to them. Including Spain, for example. [43]

Phillips: "Hamas [leadership of the Palestinians] wish to annihilate not just Israel but Europe and America and conquer the entire world for Islam (As Hamas is quoted in video), Israel's triumph in this battle with jihadi Islam and racist pan-Arabism will also benefit precisely those nations as well." [44]

At the UN

Both UN's Durban conferences (which were supposedly intended to be "against racism") were another display of the 'merging bigotry between: Arabism (Durban 2- chaired by Libya's Qaddafi) & Islamism' (Durban 2 - spearheaded by Iran's Ahmadinejad, the first statesman to speak), both dominated the conferences in a clear anti-Jewish bashing - agenda (mostly under the guise of "caring" for Arab Palestinians - while the truth is they don't [45], and defining Israel's fight for survival [46] as "racist", but "pure" anti all-Jews racism was also on display), the Durban 2 had another Islamic agenda to "criminalize" criticism of Islam.

Durban conference 1, I. Cotler: The World Conference Against Racism in Durban was originally planned as a platform to focus on the world's underrepresented human rights causes. Yet what was supposed to be a conference against racism turned into a conference of racism against Israel and the Jewish people. [47], Arab nations have ganged up to bash Israel [48] [49] (hypocritic [50] false "accusations" on pluralistic democracy, free for all state [51] [52], Israeli Arab explodes Mideast 'lies', says she discovered freedom in Jewish state "As a Middle Easterner brought up on this patent 'Israel is a racist state' propaganda, I discovered it is total hate-inspired nonsense," she said." I've seen with my own eyes what kind of society Israel is. I consider Israel to be one of the most multi-racial and multi-cultural countries in the world. There are no racial restrictions on becoming a citizen of Israel like there are in many Arab countries. Remember, Jews can't live in the neighboring Arab Kingdom of Jordan or in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia." She explained that more than 100 different countries of the world are represented in the population of Israel. "Consider how the Israeli government spent tens of millions of dollars airlifting more than 40,000 black Ethiopian Jews to Israel in 1984 and 1991," she said. "Since 2001 Israel has reached out to help others taking in non-Jewish refugees from Lebanon, the Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Vietnam, Liberia, Congo and even Bosnian Muslims. How many such refugees have the 22 states in the Arab league taken in? The Arab world won't even give Palestinian refugees citizenship in their host countries." She added that more than 1 million Arabs are full Israel citizens, that an Arab sits on the Supreme Court of Israel, that there are Arab political parties expressing views inimical to the state of Israel sitting in the Knesset, that women are equal partners in Israel and have complete human rights. "Show me an Arab nation with a Jew in its government," she challenged. "Show me an Arab country with half as many Jewish citizens as Israel has Arab citizens. I'll borrow some of your academic freedom now and say that Arab nations are the real racist and oppressive states." [53] even harsh anti-Israel Arabist Jimmy Carter admitted on CNN "I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis." [54], On the hypocrisy of racist Arabs / Palestinians vs pluralistic democratic Israel, some have summed it up in one phrase: "If Arabs Can Live in Jewish Neighborhoods, Why Can't Jews Live in Arab Neighborhoods?" [55], In fact, many have raised the issue of Arabs not only being equal citizens as Jews in Israel, but often as first class citizens, Arabs, Muslims first class citizens in Israel whereas Israeli Jews are second class citizens [56], an example: Israeli Police evict Jews from Jewish-owned Hebron home As applauding Palestinian Arabs looked on [57], there are complaints of Jews who proclaim that they are sick and tired of being second-class citizens, while all Arabs in Judea and Samaria are treated like first-class citizens. [58] a professor has written about Israel's "affirmative action", quotas and preferences for Arabs [59] and that Israel already has a system in place whereby Jews are often treated as second-class citizens. [60]) and the Jews, as Arab states pressed the Durban racist strategy [61], Jews were stunned by hostility, Anti-Semitism at Durban [62] from the Arabs' hopeless xenophobic hatred [63], The Arab Lawyers Union of Egypt, distributed a booklet of violently Anti Jewish cartoons and has, since then, continued its incitement to Jew-hatred [64].

Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson: [T]he atmosphere of anti-Semitism at the NGO Forum was described as 'hateful, even racist' by former High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson. Source: U.S. House of Representatives Resolution 1361 EH, Sept. 23, 2008, I had urged the NGOs not to adopt it. But the process was democratic and they went ahead and adopted it. But I also have a democratic right to reject that declaration dealing with Israel... I think the NGO Forum, by including that text on Israel, have diminished the chances of it being adopted by the conference. I don't think it can be adopted. Source: "Israel branded 'racist' by rights forum," CNN, Sept. 2, 2001. [A]fter [an activist] showed Robinson the booklet, she stood up, waved it and said, 'This conference is aimed at achieving human dignity. My husband is a cartoonist, I love political cartoons, but when I see the racism in this cartoon booklet, of the Arab Lawyers' Union, I must say that I am a Jew - for those victims are hurting. I know that you people will not understand easily, but you are my friends, so I tell you that I am a Jew, and I will not accept this fractiousness to torpedo the conference.' Source: "Robinson in Durban: I am a Jew," The Jerusalem Post, Aug. 30, 2001. [65], racist Arab [66] and Islamic states attempted to impose an agenda declaring Palestinian victimhood at the hands of Israeli "colonialism and oppression.", French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner put it best when he said, "It was like a cannibal suddenly calling for vegetarianism."Australia and Canada issued statements condemning the conference's hypocrisy. The Israeli and U.S. delegations walked out [67], As a writer has put it: 'Racists cry racism at U.N. conference' [68], Under title 'Arab Racism' a writer sums up the efforts all those years where the Arab countries continued to promote the false notion as if 'Zionism is racism', defining Zionism, the national liberation movement of Jews, the victims of racism, as racism is particularly cynical, yet it seems that the Arabs have succeeded to convince the leaders of some nations, themselves victims of racism, to support this vicious accusation.[69], it was described by the late Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress, as "the most sickening and unabashed display of hate for Jews I had seen since the Nazi period." [70], in fact, from the Jew-Hatred in Durban, the ironic result of the UN's World Conference on Racism 2001 should have been to remind the world how little reality has changed: Israel is still David opposite the Arab world's Goliath. [71].

Durban conference 2 Learning the lesson of Arab Muslim nations hijacking the UN (2001) Durban 1 [72] conference against "racism", turning it into a platform for a racist anti Jewish, anti Israel forum, come the (2009) Durban 2 with added worries of the trivializing of the Holocaust by comparing it with hatred of Islam. [73] [74] [75] [76], Canada has said it "promotes racism" [77] and has boycotted it [78], the US has boycotted it on February 28, 2009 [80] The delegation's conclusions were that the anti-Israel and anti-Western tendencies were too deeply entrenched to excise [81], Britain and Italy Threaten to Drop Out [82], later on, Italy pulled out of the conference [187], Australia was ready to boycott Durban II [83], finally after EU has threatened to pullout too [84] EU's ultimatum to the OIC: Change your tune on Durban II or we won't attend, it issued a final ultimatum to the countries participating in Durban II: They must put a stop to their anti-Israeli agitation and their criticism of the freedom of expression. [85] it was altered and the Arab nations' put together criticism attack of Israel was dropped from Durban II draft resolution (March 17, 2009) [86]. Thomas P. Kilgannon has summed it up: in two words -- bureaucratic terrorism. The conference is dominated by the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and is used largely as a forum to promote hatred of Israel. The gathering in Geneva is a follow-on to the World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa in 2001 [87] The Durban II was named: The U.N.'s Racist Jamboree [88] [89].

As part of exposing the hypocrisy, prior to the Durban conference, the UNWatch "turned the tables" on Arab Libya (which chairs the conf.) on its horrific record on human rights, racism, discrimination against minorities, including black migrants [90] 2 million black African migrants in Libya, who, as quoted in the International Herald Tribune ([91]), say they are treated like slaves and animals [92], and the fate of the Bulgarians in a libel suit. [93]

On April 19, 2009 U.S. boycotted finally the conference, says it 'singles out' Israel, it risks 'hypocritical' Israel hatred [94] & "hypocritical allegations" against Israel [95], just as more countries joined a U.S. boycott amid concerns it was developing into a platform for attacking Israel, Australia and the Netherlands were the latest to pull out, as a dispute gathered pace over a document said to single out Israel for its racism. "Germany, like several other E.U. nations, will very likely not be taking part in the conference," [96] (Canada, Israel, Italy and Sweden have already announced they are boycotting the conference aimed at creating a global blueprint for tackling discrimination). Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, whose past comments on the Holocaust and Israel are likely to overshadow his contributions to the debate, has reportedly confirmed his attendence [97], his attendance proved again that 'Durban II' racist‎ [98].

(Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - as Adolf Hitler World leaders (including Italy & Germany) have compared Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler, the world faces the same threat from, [99] [100] [101] [102] [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] Or a '2nd Hitler' [108], even in Arab media, in reactions to Iran's nuclear project, he was described as a new Hitler threatening to unleash catastrophe upon the world [109] and writers decry his 'plan' to annihilate Jews with a push of a single button, a dictator who fashions himself after Adolf Hitler with a twist of Islamic lemon [110] [111]).

On April 20, 2009, (while there was no talk about Arab racism, nor about Iran's oppression of minorities like: Christians, Baha'i, Azeris, Baluchis, Ahwazi Arabs, etc. [112] [113]) Iran's (a country notorious for its human rights abuses, including a long history of persecution of minorities [114]) Ahmadinejad bashed Israel [115]) was jeered at the conference, the opening of a United Nations conference in Switzerland on anti-racism was marred by chaotic scenes Monday as protests and a protesting 'walkout' by delegates, especially the Europeans (he was applauded by some Arabs), Some 40 delegates stood and exited the hall amid a mixture of outraged shouts such as: "shame", Protesters interrupted him as he began to speak, shouting: "You're a racist!" [116] [117] [118] [119]

He also gave an ultimatum to the west: 'Convert to Islam or Die' [112] he's warned Western leaders to follow the path of Allah or "vanish from the face of the earth". [113]).

Leaders Condemned Ahmadinejad's 'Hate speech' tirade Attack on Israel [222] [223] [224] [225] [226] [227] [228] [229] including the Vatican [230] and the UN chief [231] Some decried: World witnessed Hitler's return. [232]
