The Arab world's "deafening silence" on the genocide in Sudan carried out by Khartoum's Islamist regime is a result of pan-Arabism, says an Arab human-rights activist.
Abu Khawla, former chairman of the Tunisian section of Amnesty International, notes the attacks by Arab militia allied with Khartoum in Darfur, Sudan, have created what many regard as world's worst humanitarian crisis.
"According to all credible reports, nearly a quarter million people are already lost, and 1 million more will follow suit in the coming months, unless urgent action is taken," Khawla wrote in an article on the website Middle East Transparent (http://www.metransparent.com/), according to the Middle East Media Research Insitute (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/http), or MEMRI.
Khawla said the only effective way to counter the pan-Arab "propaganda of hate-mongering and deceit" is to mobilize the Arab liberal movement.
He said that amid U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's description of the situation as a "collective massacre of civilians," the Arab world is silent to the "horrendous crime being committed by their fellow Arabs in Sudan."
The silence cannot be explained by the Arab human-rights community's lack of access to official media, he said, because that no longer is relevant, due to the advent of independent TV channels and the Internet.
"In our judgment, the Arab silence could only be explained once we understand the true nature of the twin fascisms of Islamism and pan-Arabism that continue to wreak havoc on Arab land, and the impact they are having on the ignorant masses," he said.
Most Arabs are turning to satellite TV channels, especially Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, to get their information, he said.
But one of Al-Jazeera's most influential founding members is Youssef Al-Qaradhawi, a leading figure of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization.
"Why did these fundamentalist havens try to hide the truth about the Darfur massacre?" he asked. "For starter, we should notice that the matter wouldn't have raised an eyebrow among Muslim public opinion had the slaughter targeted non-Muslims. Fighting infidels until they either convert to Islam or submit to Muslims as 'Dhimmis,' i.e., citizens of second class status under Islamic rule, and pay the 'Jezya' [a poll tax], is still considered by Islamists to be a religious duty."

================================================
This oughtta wake people up to the reality of the situation between the west and Islam:
Khawla said that while the fundamentalists give second-class citizenship to "people of the book" -- Christians and Jews -- animists, Hindus and other "heretics" are considered "Najus," or filthy, and fit for extermination.
