டார்பர்- இஸ்லாமிய இனவெறியின் விளைவு

2,00,000 டார்பர் முஸ்லீம்கள் கொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். எல்லோருமே முஸ்லீம்கள். ஆனால், கருப்பர்கள்.
இந்த இன அழிப்பில், எந்த ஒரு முஸ்லீம் அமைப்போ, அல்லது முஸ்லீம் அரசாங்கங்களோ குரல் எடுத்து பேசவில்லை. இந்த இன அழிப்புக்கு எதிராக போராட்டம் நடத்தவில்லை. ஊர்வலம் போகவில்லை.

காரணம், கொல்லப்பட்ட 2லட்சம் டார்பார் முஸ்லீம்களும் கருப்பினத்தவர்கள்.

இந்த குரூரமான உண்மை ஒரு சில முஸ்லீம்களுக்கு மட்டுமே உறைக்கின்றது.

அவ்வாறு பேசுபவர்களும் டார்பாரைச் சார்ந்த கருப்பின முஸ்லீம்களே.

Darfur: A victim of Muslim racism
Tarek Fatah, communication director of the Muslim Canadian Congress, writes about a nasty reality (full text not online).
...


The fact that more than 200,000 Darfurians, almost all of them Muslims, have been killed in an ongoing genocide; the fact that more than a million Muslim Darfurians are displaced refugees living in squalor and fear, appears not to have registered with the leadership of traditional Muslim organizations and mosques in this country.

One would have expected Muslim organizations to be leading the call for this week's debate on Darfur in Parliament. One expected them this past weekend to stand in solidarity with their fellow Muslims suffering in Sudan, but that did not happen. The city's Muslim elite was conspicuous by its absence...

...it certainly appears that some kind of Arabic-Islamic ideology is being used in Sudan to ethnically cleanse marginalized citizens who are not considered true Muslims by virtue of being black. "To suggest that this is some sort of a U.S.-Israel conspiracy is ludicrous and insane," said Mr. Elsharief [the Muslim Sudanese who organized the rally]. "Muslims of Arab background should stand shoulder to shoulder with the Darfurian Muslims; unfortunately, they are not. That is a shame," he added, as he walked away shaking his head in despair.

Mr. Elsharief's frustration was shared by Mohamed Haroun, the eloquent president of the Darfuri Association of Canada. "A lot of us feel that some Muslims, who dominate the community, do not consider us African Muslims as equals. I am afraid there is widespread racism against African Muslims by other Muslims. How many more Darfuri Muslims should die before other Muslims will stand up against the Sudanese government?"..

El-Farouk Khaki, the immigration lawyer who was accused of being used by Zionists because he had sent out the invitation to Sunday's rally, agreed that there is widespread internal discrimination within some Muslim societies. "This is racism at its worst. I am an African-Canadian; I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the Darfur crisis has not made news in the traditional Muslim organizations because Darfurians are black. Had they been Bosnian, Kosovar, Arab, Pakistani or Iranian, I can bet you, these grounds would have been full of slogan-chanting Muslims demanding justice. Muslims need to address their internalized racism before they ask others to respect us," said Mr. Khaki, who is secretary-general of the Muslim Canadian Congress...

My congratulations to Mr Fatah, a brave man to tell this truth. I'm still waiting for the rallies in Cairo and Riyadh and other Muslim capitals (not to mention Beijing).
