Good for Osama bin Laden.
You read that right. Good for him for revealing even more about the depth of al-Qaeda's depravity. In his latest audio dispatch, the terror mastermind declares that all good Muslims should defend the racist genocide that Arab Muslims in the government-backed Janjaweed militia are committing against the black African Muslims of Darfur. We hope this latest outrage will shake the confidence of Muslims who believe in al-Qaeda's cause.
Even better for the sake of moral clarity and action, Osama's Darfur declaration forces an issue that many of the world's Muslims have been avoiding. The al-Qaeda leader is exploiting a widely held view among Arab Muslims that the humanitarian crisis in Darfur is an invention of Jews and Christians who want to take over Muslim land.
Anyone who believes something that outrageous should talk to Salih Mahmoud Osman. He is a Darfurian Muslim and human rights lawyer who was in Dallas recently, sponsored by local Jewish groups, to talk about what is happening to his people. "Since this situation erupted, never once have we seen a single person from the Arab world or the Muslim community come and show sympathy for the survivors," Mr. Osman told us.
The vast majority of the world's Muslims are not Arabs, but rather Asians and Africans. Why are they acquiescing without protest to this Arab-led genocide against fellow Muslims? Does the silence from the Islamic world on Darfur mean that the world's Muslims agree with Osama bin Laden that it is more important to maintain a morally bankrupt unity against the so-called "crusader-Zionist" enemy than to stand up for defenseless people?

Which side are the world's Muslims on?

Whining about a cartoon Mohammed is much more important than saving the lives of their co-religionists.

The arab muslims are caucasian, therefore this is genocide of white muslims against black muslims.
Arab imperialism. Goes back centuries.
They already committed genocide against all Christians in their country. To view it simply as a white/arab versus black is a distortion. This is a genocide of arab muslims against all others.
The Muslims are WINNING in Darfur the same way they have always won new territory over the last 1400 years, terrorizing and killing those who resist conversion. Why should the Muslims have an outcry against it? The silence of the "moderate" Muslims (all twelve of them) is deafening.
No, hundreds and thousands of Muslims are being SLAUGHTERED in Darfur. Some victory.
