Arabism Equals Racism
Some things change, others never will – such as the acceptance of anyone else’s political rights in a multi-ethnic region that most Arabs see exclusively as “purely Arab patrimony.” That’s the Arab-Israel conflict in a nutshell; but it is also the core of the Arab-Berber, Arab-Kurd, Arab-Black African, Arab-Copt, Arab-Assyrian, Arab-non-Arab Lebanese conflicts, as well, among others. The Arabs’ Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and their actions in Darfur and the rest of the southern Sudan are just a few of many examples of Arab genocidal actions against all who might disagree.
To be accepted, and not literally exterminated, one must do what Egypt’s most successful Copt did – consent to this age-old forced subjugation and Arabization. Dr. Boutros Boutros Ghali became a top official in President Anwar Sadat’s government and went on to become Secretary General of the United Nations, as well.
“Uncle Butros” instead of “Uncle Tom”.
He also instructed that for it to be accepted, Israel, as an entire country, must consent to being Arabized; like those Kurdish kids in Syrian Kurdistan who are forced today to sing songs praising their “Arab identity” and so forth.

Pan-Arabism & the professor
In the words of political science professor Adeed Dawisha, pan-Arabism at its inception was deeply influenced by European fascism, with the result that “Arab nationalists, infused with the illiberal ideas of cultural nationalism, had almost nothing to say about personal liberty and freedom.”
Thus, in keeping with his pan-Arab beliefs, Maksoud has apologized or excused the excesses of assorted Arab tyrannies.

‘Chemical Ali’ sentenced
Ali Hassan al-Majid, a cousin of Saddam’s who is known as Chemical Ali, was sentenced to death for a second time Tuesday for his part in crushing a Shiite uprising in 1991.
Mohammed Oraibi al-Khalifa, a judge for the Iraqi High Tribunal, sentenced Majid and other senior figures from Saddam’s government.
Among them were Abdelghani Abdul Ghafor al-Ani, who headed Saddam’s Baath Party in southern Iraq at the time of the uprising and who also received a death sentence Tuesday. The former defense minister, Sultan Hashim Ahmad al-Tai, received a 15-year prison sentence.
Majid already faces a death sentence for his role in a 1981 crackdown on Kurds in northern Iraq.
Judge Khalifa said Tuesday that Majid was guilty of crimes against humanity.
A lawyer for Majid’s defense team said that they would not be able to comment until after an appeal is filed.
Majid remained calm, but his co-defendant Ani shouted: “I welcome death if it is for Iraq, for pan-Arabism and for the Baath. Down with the American and Persian occupation.”
The judge told Ani to “shut up.” In later remarks to his fellow judges, he was overheard saying: “All the Baathists are this way. Baathists live as Baathists and die as Baathists.”

Towards another disaster
By Aso Karim
The Kurdish Globe
Thursday, 04 December 2008, 02:04 EST
Since the Iraqi State has been established under the hands of the English, only the Kurds asked for power-sharing, decentralization, and autonomy, and are now insisting on federalism, democracy, and accordance.
The Arab elite see those demands of the Kurds as separatist and rebellion. In short, Kurds were the makers of change in Iraq, but they couldn’t find a large front of change around themselves that can accept part of those demands. As a result they have faced big disasters.
[...]
…of the governing [Arab] elite, according to their ideological and political backgrounds
[...]
The source of that is the very idea of power hunger and centralism that were brought to Iraq by the English in the 1920s, and which was developed by the pan-Arabism movement that was developed in 80 years. This has only brought about disaster.

Iraq and Darfur: Common Roots, Pan-Arabism authorized the enslavement of African Muslims in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states until the mid-1960s, when slavery was abolished due to intense Western pressure. It justified the same horrible practices during the North-South Sudanese civil war. Like Nazism, from which its founders Sami Shawkat and Michel Aflaq drew explicit inspiration, pan-Arabism inevitably leads to violence, conflict, and, where successful, subjugation, because it defines its identity in opposition to the other”the hapless Jew, the black, or the other pariah within its self-proclaimed Lebensraum.

One thing we should do immediately is drop the lazy concept of the Arab street: it means nothing, it doesnt exist. Like most formulations beloved by the left, its an excuse to avoid having to learn anything hard or specific – facts, dates, trade patterns, economic relationships. The Bahraini street has nothing in common with the Ramallah street. The Arab street is as useless a notion as the European street: Americans should compare, for example, France and Belgium with Kuwait and Qatar. Who are the real allies? The difference at Arab League meetings henceforth will be between those members of a moderate, modernizing tendency and a dwindling number of decrepit thug states who prefer to carry on taking refuge in pan-Arabisms perversion of traditional Arab fatalism and celebrating their failure. – Mark Steyn

Arabists vs. the Middle East
Having done hardly any independent research on the twentieth-century Middle East, Cole’s analysis of this era is essentially derivative, echoing the conventional wisdom among Arabists and Orientalists regarding Islamic and Arab history…

Arab nationalists express their views through the use of terrorism, financial incentives and ethnic cleansing.

Ikhwan Cole: Arabism and Islamism… There are Muslim thinkers who meld political Islam and Arabism– this is common in Egypt, e.g. But they belong to a different religious and intellectual … Hizbullah, also an Islamist group, has long been using the mixed language of Islam and Arabism, which is why Chuck Freund and I came up with the labels “Pan-Arabist Islam/ism” or “Arabo-centric Islam” (see also Matt Frost, who has an interest in this particular subject. Cf. Lee Smith’s old article in Slate, and, Josh Landis’ excellent post on the Baath and whether it’s “secular”). In fact, speaking of Nasser, that’s precisely the sort of image Hassan Nasrallah has been projecting: a Shiite Nasser.
If you take a look at Avi Jorisch’s Beacon of Hatred, you’ll see in the accompanying DVD-Rom the various propaganda clips on Al-Manar which reach out to the Arabs, as Arabs, often using the term “ummat al-Arab” (the Arab Nation), to combat Israel.

OLD STAND-BY ARABIST RACIST
http://www.shalomjerusalem.com/jerusalem/jerusalem74.html
Their grievance is not really Russian imperialism, or the 5 to 10 percent of the West Bank under dispute, or black African encroachment on Arab land, or purported French insensitivity to legitimate Islamic pride, much less an American crusade to harm Muslims.
All these issues and the hundreds of others from the right to build a reactor in Iran to the desire for a semi-autonomous Chechnya in theory could be discussed, argued about, and adjudicated through democratic dialogue.
But that is impossible. For you see, the real problem is the democratic dialogue itself unknown in the Arab Middle East and much of the Islamic world, and a hindrance to both sharia and the pan-Arabist thug with epaulettes and sunglasses. Yet consensual government alone is the key to ending failed statist economies, gender apartheid, religious intolerance, state-controlled media, and tribalism. It alone might stop the self-induced misery and with it the tedious scapegoating of the Jews and America.
Much of the Islamic Middle East continues to blame others for its own induced catastrophe, apparently unaware thanks to the lever of oil it didnt discover, doesnt know how to develop, and uses to intensify rather than alleviate its poverty that its entire culture is becoming an international pariah. Islamic young men on European flights are looked at with distrust; they are not welcome in Russia. China wants
none of them. They are wary of visiting India. Australia learned from Bali. The whole world is watching in disgust.
In short, the suicide bomber, the improvised explosive device, the car bomb, the televised beheading, the wacko fatwa, the sleazy propaganda streamer on the Internet, the new cult of death all cowardly and lethal phenomena these are now the innovations that the world associates with the Middle East in lieu of gene research, car production, or computer breakthroughs. If you look for gender equity in the Middle East, you wont find it in Arab Olympic delegations, Saudi schools, or the Iranian government, but in the opportunity for young women to blow themselves up right beside men. Indeed, killing infidels is the nascent womens-liberation movement of the radical Muslim world.

…Similarly, the assorted versions of pan-Arabism — Nasserism, Ba’athism — were seen as alternatives to Islam, when in fact they were not alternatives at all. They merely displayed, for quite specific and local reasons, an emphasis on “Uruba” or Arabdom that was explicable given the impoverished state of the “Islamic world” and the fact that there were local stumbling blocks to pan-Islamism (including the lack of financial wherewithal). In Turkey Kemalists were in control; in Iran there was the Shah, trying in his maladroit way to emphasize the pre-Islamic past. Pan-Arabism was a version of pan-Islamism, a subset, which at the time seemed to be as much as one could hope for. Nasser or Saddam Hussein could dream of being King of the Arabs, but the idea of a much bigger operation, especially since for both Nasser and Saddam Hussein the most dangerous political opposition was mosque-based (the Muslim Brotherhood for Nasser, the Shi’a clerics for Saddam Hussein), was out of the question.

Pan-Arabism Causes Conflict in the Middle East
by Efraim Karsh
About the author: Efraim Karsh is a professor and director of Mediterranean studies at King’s College at the University of London. He is a coauthor of Empires of the Sand: The Struggle for Mastery in the Middle East.
Since its formation in the wake of World War I, the contemporary Middle Eastern system based on territorial states has been under sustained assault. In past years, the foremost challenge to this system came from the doctrine of pan- Arabism (or qawmiya), which sought to eliminate the traces of Western imperialism and unify the Arab nation, and the associated ideology of Greater Syria (or Suriya al-Kubra), which stresses the territorial and historical indivisibility of most of the Fertile Crescent. Today, the leading challenge comes from Islamist notions of a single Muslim community (the umma).
http://www.bookrags.com/researchtopics/the-middle-east/sub4.html
Amazon.com: Islamic Imperialism : A History: Books: Efraim Karsh, Middle East scholar Karsh surveys for a general audience the region’s Islamic political past. Parallel to his narrative, Karsh frequently contrasts the universalistic proclamations of Islam with cycles of imperial consolidation and fragmentation. After recounting the Prophet Muhammad’s religio-political establishment of Islam, and the discord about his legacy that continues today, Karsh narrates the battles over Muhammad’s caliphate that eventuated in the Umayyad and Abbasid Empires. Karsh’s commentary often looks forward to contemporary ideologues of Islam who ransack history to justify grievances. In Karsh’s coverage, the irruption of the Crusaders into the Levant hardly provoked a jihad to eject them; that occurred, in his account, through politically ordinary processes of empire building, eventually by the celebrated Saladin. Islamic unity and zeal, however, had always to be affirmed by reestablishers of the caliphate, a theme Karsh incorporates into his chronicling of the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire, the distribution of its territories after World War I, and varieties of pan-Arabism prevalent after World War II. An informative foundation for further exploration of Islamic history.

Arabist Indoctrination At Middlebury College…
Later Arab nationalist figures like Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser or Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein found the linguistic definition of Arabism convenient in order to neglect, if not completely reject, the reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in the Middle East. This view–also adopted by a number of social scientists and post-Edward Said Middle East scholars–holds that the Middle East is populated by a breed of culturally and linguistically homogeneous Arabs. Assyrians, Berbers, Copts, Chaldaeans, Kurds, Maronites and many other millions of Middle Eastern peoples who possess their own distinct cultural and historical heritage and who disapprove of their ascribed latter-day Arabness, are nevertheless anointed as Arabs. If they do not embrace their Arabness, they are dismissed as traitors or isolationists.
Robert Kaplan expressed this negative slant against Middle Eastern minorities in the conclusion of his remarkable book The Arabists, which examined the history of State Department experts on the Arab world. These experts, the so-called Arabists, he argued, quoting a U.S. Foreign Service official, “[h]ave not liked Middle Eastern minorities. Arabists have been guilty in the past of loving the majority and the idea of Uruba, which roughly translates as ‘Arabism.’ I remember once going to a Foreign Service party and hearing people refer to the Maronite Christians in Lebanon as ‘fascists.’” Lebanese commentator Michael Young adds, “What pro-Arab Americans couldn’t stomach was that the [Middle East's] Christians were often estranged from […the Muslims] and from the Arab nationalism the region engendered.

The Middle East… conflicts…
For example:
* the Israel and [so called] “Occupied Territories” (Palestine) issue
* the conflict between Hamas and the Fatah; the Iraq conflict
* the conflict in Afghanistan
* conflicts within Saudi Arabia
* the security concerns, especially the nuclear threat, that Ahmadinajad’s Iran poses
* the Kurdish situation with serious discrimination from Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq with very limited support from any powers
* the Lebanon conflict
* the rise of Islamic militancy in Egypt and Algeria
* the suppression of any opposition in Saudi Arabia and most of Middle East countries
* the spread of fundamentalist Islam — Wahabbi style — and the attempt to suppress any modern civil secular democratic voices in the Middle East region
* and not to forget the problems in Sudan where civilians are being massacred in Darfur by the government and the military.
[...] Islam is at the center of all social order and of the moral and intellectual values of Middle Eastern Muslims. In fact, it is the official religion in most Arab and Islamic countries. Considering Arabism and Islam as 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.

Radical Islamic Jihad and pan-Arabism in its violent form find a common root in Amin Al Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
http://tellthechildrenthetruth.com/amin_en.html
During the years 1948-1967, pan-Arab ideologies were the rage of the Muslim world. The Iraqi statesman, ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Bazzaz, a leading proponent of conservative pan-Arabism, likened the position of the Arabs in Islam to that of the Russians in world communism. The radical strain of pan-Arabism, however, became far more influential than its conservative counterpart.

Terrorism: Pan-Arabism and Islam prompting evil.
(Written roughly two months before the September 11 Islamic attacks)
July 17, 2001. A reader´s review on “Culture and Imperialism” (by E. Said)
Extracts:
Before E. Said can legitimately condemn Western “domination” of other cultures, he ought to thoroughly examine the ills inflicted by Pan-Arabism and Islam on non-Arabs and non-Muslims throughout the Middle East and world. As mentioned by others, Arabs have subjugated–or all but eliminated–Egypt’s Coptic Christians, Algeria and Morocco’s Berbers, Sudan’s southern Christians, Lebanese Christians and Iraqi Kurds. Then there are the Turkish Armenians. Sudan’s Arab government actively pursues genocide and enslavement of Southern Sudan’s Black Christians. Meanwhile, the Taliban have imposed Hitlerian restraints on Afghanistan’s women and Hindu minority (that regime was eliminated by the US post 911 but Taliban’s active aspiration remain the same). In Indonesia, Muslims are willfully murdering thousands of Christians.
Syrian society reviles the idea of peace with the Jewish people, exhorting all children to fight, kill and seek death, with the promise of both material reward for their families and eternal happiness in paradise. School texts inciting racial hatred, religious intolerance and, outright genocide to him seem emblematic of a “fundamentalist rejectionism,” “older than the [Israeli] settlements, older than the state of Israel,” reflecting the spirit of Jerusalem Grand Mufti Hajj Amin el-Husseini, who during World War II fled to Berlin, blessing Muslim SS arms and “begging Himmler to let him handle his own version of the final solution in Palestine against the Jewish settlers in Haifa, Jaffa and Tel-Aviv.”
The constitution of Fateh–the PLO’s “national, revolutionary” military wing– invokes the vision of a Pan-Arab “nation” which would coincidentally eradicate Zionism, Israel and the Jewish people there. A Friday June 6 sermon broadcast live by the PA called for the enslavement of Israel’s 5 million Jewish people as Dhimmis. “We welcome the Jews to live as Dhimmis, but the rule in this land and in all the Muslim countries must be the rule of Allah.”
In this vein, the Arafat-appointed Jerusalem Mufti on June 29 incited Muslims to prepare “armies to fight the Jews and to remove Israel from Existence” and called for an Islamic Khilafah State, just as he has done in myriad Al Aksa Friday sermons…

Who is Racist in the Middle East – Zionism or Arabism?
http://www.zionism-israel.com/log/archives/00000012.html
The Problem With Darfur’s Muslims Is…
They’re Not Arabs. Like Iraq’s Kurds or North Africa’s Amazigh (Berbers).
The title of a recent AP news brief read, “EU May Not Heed Darfur Call.”
While the European sycophants of medieval Arab oil sheiks, who recently sentenced a gang rape victim to jail and two hundred lashes, have and will be pouring in billions of dollars in aid and such to support the birth of Arab state # 22 ( 2nd, not 1st, Arab one in “Palestine”), predictably, all they mostly have to offer to support victims of out right Arab murder and racism is hot air.
After the Arabs burst out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century C.E. and slaughtered, conquered, and forcibly Arabized millions of non-Arab peoples in the process, the Sudan (Nubia, etc.) held out for quite some time. In other parts of non-Arab North Africa, native Jews aligned with “Berbers” to resist this conquest as well.
Back in the ’60s when I was starting college, the Arab-Israeli conflict, as usual, never left center stage. After the ‘67 Six Day War–when Israel turned the tables on the latest Arab attempt on its life big time–Israel lost its status as David to the Arab Goliath for daring to refuse to go silently into the night while the rest of the world once again looked on…as the latter is doing today with other Arab victims.
At virtually the same time in the ’60s, the first modern civil war broke out between the non-Muslim black south and the Arab and Arabized north in the Sudan.
Sudan President Nimeiry’s stated during the slaughter of over a half million blacks at this time (and over a million more ever since) that…
“…the Sudan is the basis of the Arab thrust into…black Africa, the Arab civilizing mission (Arabism and Pan-Arabism in Sudanese Politics, Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 11, #2, 1973, pp. 177-78).”
Rudyard Kipling’s late 19th century poem, “The White Man’s Burden,” supposedly typifies Western colonialist and imperialist attitudes towards the Third World. If that’s the case, then what does Nimeiry and the example below, expressed in the Syrian Arab Constitution of the Ba’th, typify…?
“…The Arab fatherland belongs to the Arabs. They alone have the right to direct its destinies…The Arab fatherland is that part of the globe inhabited by the Arab nation which stretches from the Taurus Mountains, the Pacht-i-Kouh Mountains, the Gulf of Basra, the Arab Ocean, the Ethiopian Mountains, the Sahara, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea.”
Arabs habitually refer to most of the region as “purely Arab patrimony”…the Arab-Israeli and other such conflicts in a nutshell.
The more recent full scale outbreak of violence in the Sudan has an even more revealing twist.
While earlier violence there and elsewhere could largely be seen as modern extensions of the fourteen century -old clash between the Dar ul-Islam and the Dar al-Harb, the one in the Sudan’s Darfur (as those in Arab-occupied Kurdistan and much of the rest of North Africa) is mostly about Arab racism and chauvinism…pure and simple. You know, those folks who like to scream about “racist Zionism.” Over a thousand years earlier, this led to the overthrow of the Syrian-based Arab imperialist Umayyad Caliphate.
So, in Sudan’s western region of Darfur, it’s Arab versus black…regardless of religion. Ditto for Arab versus Kurd, Amazigh, and so forth.
In Sudan’s largely non-Muslim south, it’s a combination of both Arab racism and the conquest of the Dar ul-Islam…as exemplified also in the expected subjugation and dhimmitude of Egyptian Copts, Lebanon’s Christians, Near Eastern Assyrians, and Israel, the Jew of the Nations, home to whom Arabs call “their” kilab yahud…Jew dogs.
Think carefully about all the above…especially in light of the additional bare-the necks-of-your-kids-even- further concessions Israel is expected to next make for the sake of a post-Annapolis “peace (of the grave)” with those still dedicated to its destruction–regardless of what the American President and his Secretary of State shamefully proclaim.

…Pan-Arabism should more accurately be seen as a subset, a limited version with more modest initial goals — today Arabdom, tomorrow the world. And since Islam is a vehicle for Arab imperialism, pan-Arabism means, necessarily, promotion of Islam, and vice-versa. The goal of a unified Arab state, the goal that Nasser was said to embody, was merely a way-station on the path — fi sabil Allah — to spreading Islam until it, and therefore the Arabs (the “best of peoples”) would everywhere dominate. Pan-Arabism was not, as so many wrong-headed analysts would have it, a movement hostile to Islam or to what is often called, misleadingly, “pan-Islamism” (which is merely the geopolitical dimension of mainstream Islam).

Arab Nationalism Run Rampant at Middlebury
By Franck Salameh
August 18, 2006
At Middlebury College’s Arabic Summer School, where I recently taught Arabic, students were exposed to more than intensive language instruction. Inside the classroom and across campus, administrators and language teachers adhered to a restrictive Arab-nationalist view of what is generically referred to as the “Arab world.” In practice, this meant that the Middle East was presented as a mono-cultural, exclusively Arab region. The time-honored presence and deep-rooted histories of tens of millions of Kurds, Assyrians, Copts, Jews, Maronites, and Armenians–all of whom are indigenous Middle Easterners who object to an imputed “supra-Arab” identity–were dismissed in favor of a reductionist, ahistorical Arabist narrative. Those who didn’t share this closed view of the Middle East were made to feel like dhimmi–the non-Muslim citizens of some Muslim-ruled lands whose rights are restricted because of their religious beliefs.
Case Studies on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms: A World Survey – by Willem Adriaan Veenhoven, Winifred Crum Ewing … – 1975 – Discrimination Case studies… Page 88 After the 186 Syrian massacres, the Christians had tried to promote an Arab nationalism… irritated the Muslims… Thanks to the theologians of Al Azhar, the two movements, antagonistic at first, fused into Islamic pan-arabism. Today it is clear that Islam and Arabism, are inseparable terms and that in fact, pan-arabism is synonymous with the cultural social and politica rebirth of Islam… a true Arab must be Muslim. As long as modern Egypt will proclaim itself to be “essentially an Arab and Muslim land” uncertainty will continue to weigh on the Copts, the only remaining native religious minority after the forced departure of eighty thousand Jews.. When Nasser came to power, Egypt resolutely turned its face towards Arabism …became its staunchest champion and Cairo proclaimed Islamic unity pursued an active policy of pan-arabism which identified Islam with Arabism. The Precarious situation of the minorities became even ore acute. Was it possible to be a Christian and an Arab?
http://books.google.com/books?id=tIfYPppdbeYC&pg=PA88
Case Studies on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms: Page 89 … invariable: since Muhammed was an Arab and the sacred Koran was revealed in Arabic, only a Muslim could identify fully with Arabism.
http://books.google.com/books?id=tIfYPppdbeYC&pg=PA89
In maps, textbooks, lectures, and other teaching materials used in the instruction of Arabic, Israel didn’t exist, and the overarching watan ‘Arabi (Arab fatherland) was substituted for the otherwise diverse and multi-faceted “Middle East.” Curious and misleading geographical appellations, such as the “Arabian Gulf” in lieu of the time-honored “Persian Gulf,” abounded. Syria’s borders with its neighbors were marked “provisional,” and Lebanon was referred to as a qutr (or “province”) of an imagined Arab supra-state.
Similarly, the Arabic school’s dining services conformed to the halal dietary restrictions of Islam, an act implying that all Arabic speakers are Muslims, and that all Muslims are observant; yet less that 20 percent of the Arabic school community was Muslim. No such accommodations were made for Jewish students who kept kosher, even though they outnumbered the Muslims.
Arab nationalism was also evident in the school’s official posture toward America’s national holidays. The Arabic school was alone among Middlebury programs to ignore Fourth of July festivities. Worse, visiting faculty from the Middle East cold-shouldered older students sporting the closely cropped hair, courteous manners, and discipline suggesting membership in the U.S. armed forces. Most students and faculty avoided contact altogether with those dubbed hukuma (government) or jaysh (army).
Such attitudes and practices aren’t confined to Middlebury. A former student of mine who recently took a summer Arabic course at Georgetown University relates that one of her professors, an otherwise excellent language instructor, refused to allow the word “Israel” to be uttered in class. And his bigotry wasn’t confined to the Jewish state: during a class discussion on nationalism, my former student argued that “many Lebanese did not think of themselves as Arabs.” The instructor’s response: “while they might say that, it’s just politics, because all Lebanese people know on the inside that they are indeed Arabs.”
Arabism flies in the face of historical fact. Ethnic minorities in Lebanon, as throughout the Middle East, have suffered at the hands of Arabs since the Arab-Islamic invasions in the early Muslim period. Of the efforts of Arab regimes and their ideological supporters in the West to de-legitimize regional identities other than Arab, Walid Phares, a well-known professor of Middle East studies, has written: “[The] denial of identity of millions of indigenous non-Arab nations can be equated to an organized ethnic cleansing on a politico-cultural level.” This tradition of culturally suppressing minorities is the wellspring of the linguistic imperialism regnant at Middlebury’s Arabic Summer School.
Yet healthier models for language instruction are easy to find. In the Anglophone world, Americans, Irish, Scots, New Zealanders, Australians, Nigerians, Kenyans, and others are native English-speakers, but not English. Can anyone imagine an English language class in which students are assumed to be Anglican cricket fans who sing “Rule Britannia,” post maps showing Her Majesty’s empire at its pre-war height, and prefer shepherd’s pie and mushy peas? Yet according to the hyper-nationalists who run Middlebury’s Arabic language programs, all speakers of Arabic are Arabs–case closed.
A leading Arabic language program shouldn’t imbue language instruction with political philosophy. It should instead concentrate on teaching a difficult language well–on promoting linguistic ability, not ideological conformity. Academics should never intellectualize their politics and then peddle them to students under the guise of scholarship. Those who do may force a temporary dhimmitude on their student subjects, but in the end they only marginalize their field and themselves.

Since they caused both at once, the historical synonymity of Islam and Arabism was created, and even if this identification is considered wrong in theological terms, it became the de facto reality. As a Muslim of Indian-Pakistani origins, Fatah sees the blending of Islam and Arabism as the distortion of the former, and his words echo the sense of many non-Arab Muslims that Arabs consider them to be “second-rate” Muslims.

Mr. Paul Kelly, the Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, noted that “Iraqis of Assyrian, Turkman, and Kurdish ethnicity suffer additional abuses due to the ongoing Arabization’ campaign of ethnic cleansing.” Noting other abuses including the prohibition of all non-Arab broadcasting and publishing and the forced Arabization of personal names, Mr. Kelly added that “Abuses like these are a long-standing part of the Iraqi government’s decade long campaign dedicated to eliminating the non-Arab presence in villages and towns under regime control in northern Iraq.”

The Bullets of ‘Urubah
“I saw him without a gun, shooting at me, and his bullets pierced me just like all the other bullets.” Rashid al-Daif, Passage to Dusk
Two days ago I had a conversation with a Syrian friend, whom I will call Saleem, about the merrits of “Arabist” or Arab nationalist governance. Saleem, being from Syria and having gone through the Ba’thi nationalist school system, for the most part defended the idea that Arabism is positive, particularly for Arabs. “Why shouldn’t the Arabs have a country? If we are all Arabs, why should we not all have the same country, like Italy or Spain?” Saleem asked me. My response to this was, What about the people that live with you who are not Arabs? And why should ethnicity be the basis for this “country”? “Because Arabs are one nation!” I was told hotly. “We should be free from outside aggression like Zionism and colonialism,” he continued. The last question I was able to ask Saleem was “What do you mean? We are free from those things…, the only aggression is against Arabs by Arab dictators,” Saleem’s response was, “Better an Arab than a dog for that.”

If Mussolini supported Zionists to some extent as a lever against the British Empire, both he and Hitler subsidized Haj Amin el Husseini, the violently anti-Jewish grand mufti of Jerusalem. Anti-Jewish feeling mounted in parts of the Middle East during the 1930s, as the Fascist and Nazi regimes and doctrines made increasing sense to many Arab nationalists. King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia sought German arms and contacts and was favorably received. Various delegations of Syrians and Iraqis attended the Niirnberg party congresses, and there were several different Arabic translations of Mein Kampf.

Syrian Liberal Nidhal Na’isa On the West, Pan-Arabism, Islamism, and Al-Jazeera
MEMRI ^ | May 17 2007
Syrian liberal author Nidhal Na’isa began his career in journalism as a teenager, at the government dailies Al-Thawra and Syria Times,(1) but today he is a vocal opponent of the Arab regimes and the pan-Arab ideology, as well as of Islamism and Islamist terrorism. He has written that due to the Islamist “tsunami,” the Middle East could be declared an “intellectual disaster zone”; that if one were to try to sell pan-Arab identity to “the bushmen and the cannibals” they wouldn’t buy it; and that the pan-Arab media is “a harbinger of ill, pain, and destruction.” In contrast, he praises the West for its humanism and its respect for the individual, and writes that, given the current state of affairs in the Arab world, the real question is not “why does the West hate us?” but rather why it does not.
The following are excerpts from some of Nidhal Na’isa’s recent articles:
“We Could Declare [The Middle East] an Intellectual Disaster Zone After the Surging Fundamentalist Tsunami Swept Through”
In an interview published April 23, 2007 on the liberal Arab website Aafaq, Na’isa discussed the Islamist phenomenon:
“The world is swept up in globalization, whereas our unfortunate regions are being swept up everywhere by fundamentalism. We could declare [the Middle East] an intellectual disaster area after the surging fundamentalist tsunami swept through it.
“This is a wave that came after the slaughter, on the debris of the failure and disintegration of the leftist pan-Arab projects, [when] their intellectual hollowness and the superficiality of their proposals… became evident…
“Fundamentalism is a notion that disturbs the sleep of everybody concerned with the present and the future of this region. All of us are fundamentalists, when fundamentalism is taken in the sense of tenacious clinging to [our] opinion and rejection of the other. I see fundamentalism on the faces of all, in their thoughts and proposals. Nobody comes to terms with the other; no one pays attention to anyone else. In my view, this is fundamentalism in its more important and fuller meaning…”

To this day, Islam has retained its imperial ambitions. The dream of regional and world domination has remained very much alive, despite the destruction long ago of the last great Muslim empire, which has left the Islamic caliphate vacant. The 20th century doctrine of pan-Arabism (exemplified by Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser), though secular in appearance, has been effectively Islamic in its ethos, worldview, and imperialist vision. Karsh quotes Nuri Said, longtime prime minister of Iraq and a prominent early champion of pan-Arabism: “Although Arabs are naturally attached to their native land, their nationalism is not confined by boundaries. It is an aspiration to restore the great tolerant civilization of the early caliphate.”

Letter… Dear Saddam… It is the nail in the coffin for the racist myth of pan-Arabism that you (okay, okay, you and others) propagated to justify brute force as the lowest common denominator of power in the Middle East.
Your claim to defend “Arabism” by persecuting the Kurds (and going to war against the Persians in Iran) was always a cover for the fact that you and your Baathist sidekicks also represent a minority in Iraq. Like the Kurds, Sunni Arabs make up about one-fifth of the population.
Here’s my point: The Middle East is a giant mosaic of religious and ethnic minorities that have until now known only how to persecute or be persecuted. Frequently the claim of cultural, political and religious cohesiveness contained in pan-Arabist ideology such as yours is put forward to mask the true diversity and conflicts of the people known as Arabs.
Suppressing diversity is what you were all about. The same is true for your ideological brothers yet personal enemies, the ruling Baathists in Syria, who represent a minority Alawite sect that can rule only by force. No wonder they see themselves as imperiled by democracy arriving next door. Let’s hope for once they are right.

What is the ideology behind Saddam Hussein’s (former) regime?
“The Ba’ath ideology mixes pan-Arabism with admiration of Mussolini and Hitler, some ideas of state socialism and the notion of an Arab supremacy which will be realized after the Arabs have liberated themselves from foreign – that means mainly Jewish – influence and British and American imperialism. Ba’athism is strongly anti-communist and anti-imperialist, and it is anti- Semitic from its beginning. Everything in Iraq is explained through this huge conspiracy theory against the Arabs, in general, and Iraq, in particular. Iraq is thought to be the greatest Arab nation and the natural leader of Arab unity.”
So Iraq sees itself as the center of the Arab world?
“Yes, the leader of Arab unity. Saddam Hussein dreams of ruling a united Arab nation that would become a superpower confronting East and West. Iraqi children are taught in kindergarten that they have to be strong Arab fighters.”
Is Iraqi (Saddam’s) Ba’athism Islamist?
“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.”

Lounsbury: Darfur – On Racism, On Ignorance, [Arabism, Arab supremacist government in Sudan,] On Laziness and just plain stupidity (and Arab responses)
http://lounsbury.aqoul.com/archives/2004/08/darfur_on_racis.html
‘Genocide in Darfur’ (by Samuel Totten, Eric Markusen) Racist ideology plays an important part of the story, as it has in the history of other twentieth century genocides. And the psychology of “genocide” has become familiar through the sorry repetition of genocidal acts that the last century has witnessed. In 1987, Libya used the northwestern Darfur corner as a backdoor to attack Chad. It had equipped and sent out the so-called Arab legion, an Arab supremacist militia, to pursue Arab expansion in the mineral-rich sub-Saharan regions it bordered and to drive out the African tribes. Libya was not orchestrating a simple border raid on a poor country; it was pursuing a new strategy of pan-Arabism, couched in an emotionally charged ideology.
The Sharp distinction between Arabs and Africans in the racially mixed Darfur region had not been drawn until the ideology of pan-Arabism that came out of the Libya made itself felt… when the GoS tried to impose Sharia Law in 1983, it triggered civil war in the South. This marked the first use of government-backed militias… some of the cattle herding… of Darfur were employed in a strategy of brutality, starvation, rape, and pillage that was to be visited upon Darfur two decades later. Complaints of Arab militia harassment in Darfur surfaced in 2003…

Facing Evil: Genocide in Darfur … Islamist dictatorship… the Islamist movement, the political expression of Islamic fundamentalism that seeks to impose its theocratic vision on the Islamic world. Beginning in the 1930s and 1940s with the Islamic Brotherhood, this movement morphed into the National Islamic Front (NIF), which took control of Sudan in the 1989 coup and turned Khartoum into an international center for guerilla activities elsewhere. Osama bin Laden lived in Khartoum for five years before leaving for Afghanistan in 1995. Today the NIF is trying to impose its Islamist and Arabist worldview on all of Sudan, at the expense of indigenous farmers, mostly in the south and west, who identify themselves by tribe and for whom Arabic is a second language.
Roughly speaking, the conflict is ethnic… majority is considered inferior by the privileged Arabist minority centered in Khartoum and, in a comparison drawn by Gillian Lusk, deputy editor of the London-based fortnightly newsletter Africa Confidential, was “in the way,” much as the Jews, Roma, and other “others” were for the Nazis. Historically, racism plays a part. Arabs refer to darker Africans as “abeed,” roughly equivalent to “slave.” These ancient antipathies go back to the Ottoman Empire, when conquerors developed the north of Sudan and neglected the more inaccessible south—and earlier, under Egypt, when northern Arabs raided the south for ivory and slaves. Slavery continued as a powerful undercurrent in the north-south war that has wracked Sudan for the past two decades, as the northern rulers kidnapped young Africans and forced them into military service.

In an article titled “The Arab Silence on Darfur Revisited,” Abu Khawla, a human rights activist and former chair of the Tunisian section of Amnesty International, points out that pan-Arabism is the chief culprit for the lack of Arab reaction to the “horrendous crime being committed by their fellow Arabs in Sudan.” In his view, the only effective way to counter the pan-Arab “propaganda of hate-mongering and deceit” is to mobilize the Arab liberal movement.

Religion is the pivotal factor in the conflict. The North, with roughly two-thirds of Sudan’s land and population, is Muslim and Arabic-speaking; the Northern identity is an inseparable amalgamation of Islam and the Arabic language. The South is more indigenously African in race, culture, and religion; its identity is indigenously African, with Christian influences and a Western orientation. [...]
Background: The South
In sharp contrast, the identity of southern Sudan has been shaped primarily by the prolonged resistance to the imposition of Arab and Islamic culture from the North. This has had the effect of unifying the Southerners as black Africans and has geared them toward Christianity and the English language as means of combating Islam and Arabism.

Darfur: The Avoidance Word Still Screams Its Name Wole Soyinka (2006-10-12) …Darfur ” Genocide!” …on their own historic claims, such as the self-pronounced Arabist, the Sudanese prime minister, Ismail Al- Azhari, who, in 1965, made the following declaration:
…We are proud of our Arab origin, of our Arabism and of being Muslims. The Arabs came to this continent, as pioneers, to disseminate a genuine culture and promote sound principles which have shed enlightenment and civilization throughout Africa at a time when Europe was plunged into the abyss of darkness, ignorance, and doctrinal and scholarly backwardness. It is our ancestors who held the torch high and led the caravan of liberation and advancement; and it is they who provided a superior melting-pot for Greek, Persian and Indian culture, giving them the chance to react with all that was noble in Arab culture, and handing them back to the rest of the world as a guide to those who wished to extend the frontiers of learning.
That lofty declaration “ never mind its hyperbolic accents – but certainly one which Leopold Sedar Senghor would have endorsed as the ringing spirit of Arabite was made just less than a decade after the first gathering of the black writers and artistes of the world, impelled also by the need to situate their race and heritage accurately in a racist world. The claims of black civilization were no less resonant at that conference, no less proud, the mission of race retrieval no less impassioned. And the question we must ask the government of Sudan today is simply this: how does the current manifesto of the Janjaweed, the champions of Arabism, its project of cultural extermination, correspond to Al-Azhariâ’s manifesto of enlightenment “ among numerous others. Examine the tomes of attestation with the United Nations’ fact-finding missions, examine even the dossiers that have resulted in sealed indictments against named individuals both in government and in the autonomous order of the Janjaweed, soulmates of the Milesovics, the Radovan Karavics, the Radkos of eastern Europe, and tell us if Al-Azhariâ’s banner of enlightenment has not been besmirched by his Hitlerian apostles.

Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide
de Gerard Prunier – 2005
situation in Darfur a “genocide” in September 2004. Its characteristics-Arabism, Islamism, famine as a weapon of war, mass rape, international obfuscation, and a refusal to look evil squarely in the face-reflect many of the problems of the global South in general and of Africa in particular.Journalistic explanations of the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe have been given to hurried generalizations and inaccuracies: the genocide has been portrayed as an ethnic clash marked by Arab-on-African violence, with the Janjaweed militias under strict government control, but neither of these impressions is strictly true. Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide explains what lies behind the conflict, how it came about, why it should not be oversimplified, and why it is so relevant to the future of the continent. Gerard Prunier sets out the ethnopolitical makeup of the Sudan and explains why the Darfur rebellion is regarded as a key threat to Arab power in the country-much more so than secessionism in the Christian South. This, he argues, accounts for the government’deployment of “exemplary violence” by the Janjaweed militias in order to intimidate other African Muslims into subservience. As the world watches; governments decide if, when, and how to intervene; and international organizations struggle to distribute aid, the knowledge in Prunier’book will provide crucial assistance.

It has been noted by Opoku Agyeman that Pan-Arabism, in its so-called ‘civilizing mission’ perceives Africa as a ‘cultural vacuum’ waiting to be filled by Arab culture “by all conceivable means” (Agyeman, Opoku “Pan Africanism vs. Pan Arabism”, Black Renaissance, 1994, p.39) including Islamisation, and the settlement of Arab populations on lands forcibly seized from Africans. The assumptions, objectives and methods of this project may be illustrated from the statements of its principal implementers in Sudan since the 1820s:
1987); “Red Sea Politics and Its Implications on Ethiopia” … Egyptian influence on Sudanese politics… and so on… Egypt had always wanted to destabilize Ethiopia”… so that it would not be able to attend to the Nile; the Egyptians used Islam, Pan-Arabism, imperialism, and “reaction” to undermine Ethiopia’s revolution. …
As a wave of pan-Arabism swept the Middle East in the 1950s and 1960s, the Syrian government decided in 1962 to strip thousands of Kurds of their citizenship. The method: a census supposedly designed to root out “alien infiltrators” from Turkey. If a Kurd could not prove residency in Syria since 1945, he or she lost Syrian citizenship. This fate befell 120,000 Kurds.
Today over 225,000 Kurds in Syria are designated as “foreigners”, out of a total Kurdish population of around 1.5 million. The Baath Party launched an official Arabization campaign in 1963 that began to stamp out Kurdish street names, Kurdish publications, and even Kurdish personal names.

Second-Citizens…For Many, Not Citizens at All
Erasing Ethnic Identity.
Syrian Kurds were banned from giving their children names reflecting their ethnic identity.
Pary Karadaghi, Director of Kurdish Human Rights Watch in Washington, says one of the most basic ways of showing Kurdish identity was taken away. “The campaign of ‘Arabization‘ actually replaced the Kurdish names,” she says. “People could not have Kurdish names on cities, buildings [and] businesses. Children’s names could not be Kurdish.”
Syria’s Kurds struggled for years to survive despite government oppression on many fronts. They closely watched their Iraqi counterparts, who achieved a measure of autonomy in the 1990s, and pressed Damascus for their own rights. Their demands were ignored or sometimes met with waves of repression.

The Kurdish people in Syria has been subjected to racist Arabist policies …
The racist Arabist ideology is so reactionary and aggressive that it is easily transformed into a repressive violent practice of killing, torture and genocide. The Kurdish people are not the only people who have suffered and are suffering from this policy. The people of South Sudan have been suffering from Arab genocide too. More than one million of them have been massacred in the name of Arabism and Islamic Sharia. The Western democracies have criminally supported Arab genocide of South Sudanese people for their own economic interests in the same way as they supported Saddam’s genocide against the Kurdish people. The Amazighi people in Moroco, where they represent the majority of the population, and Algeria have also been colonised and repressed by Arab chauvinism for many decades. social backwardness and the repression of non-Arab nations and minorities

…In the following years and the pain still piercing, Bakr Sidqi, the Baghdadi army’s chief responding to the zealous cry of the new pan-Arab fascists organised the cold blooded massacre of innocent Assyrians with the watchful eye of Imperial Britain, because they dared to ask for the recognition of the Assyrian nationality and the Assyrian cultural rights within the newly formed regime.
Betrayed and denied by Imperial Britain, the Assyrian national uprising was suppressed and the Assyrian rights’ movement was pigeonholed. For the next decades and under various successive regimes the Assyrians were known by their religion as ‘Christians’ until the ascent of the new Baathists to power in the hot summer of 1968. Then things started to change.

What Happened To the 80 Millions Assyrians After the Fall of Nineveh?
By: Paroqa D’Omta Ashoureeta
[18 April 2007]
Progenitor of Wars and Tyrannies: the Falsehood of Pan-Arabism
The deep and hidden reason of the tyrannical oppression practiced throughout the Middle East is the imposition by France and England of pan-Arabic nationalist cliques that intend to dictatorially arabize the various peoples of the Middle East, who are – all – not Arabs.
http://www.betnahrain.org/bbs/index.pl/noframes/read/15531
Husri correctly deduced that it was through education, especially children, that the “new morality” of Arabism was to be transmitted. In this endeavor, he achieved a great success. In this mission he was helped by a certain British advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of education by the name of Lionel Smith. Smith seems to have admired Husri’s passionate zeal for education, but is on record for stating that many of Husri’s “views were wrong”. Husri’s attitudes against non-Arabs seem to have been adopted by his son Khaldun al-Husri, a nationalist Arab historian who has attempted to minimize the violent destruction of the Assyrian community in Northern Iraq in the 1920s. This is reflected in:

Islamist Ethnic-Cleansing of Assyrians in Iraq
[August 13, 2008]
Assyrians are not seeking to re-establish Assyria, that is an unrealistic dream. Assyrians simply want to live in peace and freedom, to practice their religion, to teach their language and history. In the last 1400 years, thus has proven to be elusive, as every power that be wanted to assimilate Assyrians. We are called Arab-Christians, Iranian-Christians, Turkish-Christians and now Kurdish Christians… The Arabs had their Ba’ath ideology, with its pan-Arabism, where everyone was an Arab, even if he wasn’t

Is Pan-Arabism a Nationalism without a Nation?
[2007]
For a long period of time those called Arabs were the tribes living in the Arabian Peninsula… After the Islamic conquests, the number of Arabic-speakers began to rise. These new Arabic-speakers could not claim descent from the Arabs, and for many centuries they were not viewed as Arabs, nor did they consider themselves to be such.
[...]
The problem is that this totalizing theory did not present realistic and just solutions to the various conflicts that tear apart our region to this day. The policies of forced Arabization; the mistreatment of the Kurdish minority in Iraq, the oppression of the Kurds in Syria, the harassment of the Coptic minority in Egypt and the Assyrians and Chaldeans in Iraq; the provocations against what is left of the Jewish diaspora in a few countries like Yemen, Syria, and Iraq; and the intimidation and cultural negation of any minority that refuses to submit to what the peddlers of Pan-Arabism try to impose on them – all of this does nothing but generate more violence and tragedy.
If the military intervention in Iraq and the deposing of the Pan-Arabist Saddam Hussein regime has had one positive result, aside from the timid beginnings of a democratic political process, it is without doubt the fact that light has been shed on the great sectarian, linguistic, and cultural diversity with which the Middle East is blessed. The question of accepting the other’s difference and identity remains the greatest challenge for the Arab nationalists.
http://www.masrifeki.com/english.4.074.0.htm
As one approaches the Middle East, however, the trail becomes warmer. This is an area originally impacted to some extent by paradigmatic European fascism.
Some of the new nationalist regimes which developed in the Middle East during the second half of the century exhibited more of the characteristics of fascism than those of any other part of the world. A first example was the Egyptian regime under Nasser, with its Fuhrerprinzip, “Arab socialism,” a state sector of the economy approaching 40 percent, and bellicosity toward Israel…
At first glance a better case might be made for the Libyan dictatorship of Mu’ammar al-Gadhafi, established in 1969. Though the dictator of a major oil-exporting country, Gaddafi is a fanatical Muslim… “Brother Colonel” has renounced capitalism, preaching pan-Arabism and a form of “Arab socialism,” while his interest in militarism, violence, …

11 February 2009
Pharaohs of ancient Egypt were reputed to have employed advisers, whose job was to continuously drum it in their ears: “Remember Pharaoh, you are but human.” This constant refrain, was meant to restrain them from playing God in administering the affairs of their people. In years thereafter, and even today, this critical practice, appears to be missing in the lives of leaders, especially those who want to rule the world, or at least impact on it in their peculiar manner. History is replete with them. Adolph Hitler of Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, Ferdinand Marcos of Philippines, Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc) of Haiti, Augusto Pinochet of Chile, Abdul Nasser of Egypt, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, Idi Amin Dada of Uganda.
All these men, though in varying degrees, wielded influences within their countries at the time they were in power, that tapered towards playing God. Of course their styles were different, but the public understanding of their actions, was similar – they were men, who wanted to dominate the world, their world, some by raw display of power, others by sheer control and manipulation of the thought process of their people. Their actions not only resulted in most cases to outlandish and even bizarre outcomes, but profoundly shook the entire world. Some came with religion, while others came through politics or combined both. However the domino effect were same – the world listened.
Though most of them are now history, even though the impacts and most times scars they created, still remain as reference points to confirm man’s desire to control his environment, there is no doubt that the future would still have a lot of them to contend with willy-nilly, despite the influence of civilisation. This is the context many people are now looking at the renewed wave of activities within the African Union (AU), with the ascension of Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Ghadafi, to its leadership. But does the Libyan leader fit into the profile of these men of power and influence? No doubt. Would he succeed in seizing Africa as they seized their environments? Time will tell. But the fact remains, at least on the surface that he is working at it.
…Gadhafi’s invitation to his fellow Arabs is nothing but a declaration of race war on Africa. It is an invitation to more Arabs to invade and colonise Africa. Indeed, it is a call for the final phase of the 15 centuries old Arab lebensraum war on Afrikans – a war to Islamise and conquer all of Africa, from Cairo to the Cape and from Senegal to Somalia, and to then enslave or Arabise all the conquered Afrikans. In order to make that clear, it is necessary to first put his invitation in the context of the traditions of Arab melanophobia and negrophobia, and of Arab expansionist ambitions and conquests that go back to the time of their Arab prophet, Muhammed.” With his present pre-occupation, this fear may have been assuaged.
While rights agitators in Nigeria avoided making comments regarding the aggressive spread of Islam through Arabism, they agree with Dowden that Gadhafi’s rights records are enough ground to deny him headship of the AU. They also argued that his election says a lot about other African leaders.

Little did they realise that the pan-Arabism based in the Middle East would expand in such fury to North Africa and result in this pan-Arab hysteria, trying to obliterate anything that is native to North Africa and especially its language,” Mr Ouzzat says.

…the difficulties inherent in translating Arabic works into Amazigh in Morocco. Aadnani describes the hostility directed at several Berber authors (mainly from the Sous region of Morocco) for translating Mohammed Choukri’s works and even the Qur’an into Amazigh. As Aadnani points out, the translations of Arabic literary works under the auspices of the Royal Institute for Berber Culture are routinely criticized in the Arabic press, even when their authors are themselves of Berber origin and support the translation. Fatima Agnaou, a pedagogy specialist at the Royal Institute for Berber Culture in Morocco, delivered a talk on the recent efforts to legitimize the teaching of Amazigh throughout the country.

…the assorted versions of pan-Arabism — Nasserism, Ba’athism — were seen as alternatives to Islam, when in fact they were not alternatives at all. They merely displayed, for quite specific and local reasons, an emphasis on “Uruba” or Arabdom that was explicable given the impoverished state of the “Islamic world” and the fact that there were local stumbling blocks to pan-Islamism (including the lack of financial wherewithal).

Islamism and Baathism aren’t that different. – By Lee Smith …, “Arab nationalism,” Kedourie explained, “affirms a fundamental unbreakable link between Islam and Arabism.”
http://www.slate.com/id/2108576/
The Ba’ath party was founded in Syria in 1928 by Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Din Bitar with a pan-Arab nationalist program and elements of both Marxism and fascism. Aflaq and Bitar were influenced by Arab nationalist trends that had begun in time of the Turks, inspired in part by the Islamic and Arab reform ideologies of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1839-1897), his student Muhammad Abduh (1849-1905), and Abduh’s student, Muhammad Rashid Rida (1865-1935). These thinkers called for a renewal of Islam, with limited borrowing of concepts from the West. Abduh in particular was active in promoting Arab autonomy within Ottoman Turkey, and had placed great hopes in the Young Turks. Rida grew increasingly anti-Western with time, and was a great influence on Hassan El-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood. While Aflaq was a Greek Orthodox Christian, Ba’ath ideology adopted an affinity for Islam, and Pan-Arabists saw one of their goals as asserting the primacy of the Arabs in the Muslim world.

What kind of role does anti-Semitism play in the Middle East Conflict? At what point does opposition to Israel turn into anti-Semitism? …The spiritual and physical connection of Jews with Zion has been continuous, preceding by centuries the emergence of Muslim conquerors from the Arabian deserts. Not only that, but over half the Israeli population is not “European” at all. It was uprooted from the Arab Middle East by exclusivist pan-Arabism, Islamic fanaticism, and the pressures of decolonization.
Yet sixty years ago, there were more than a million Jews in Arab lands. Their exodus says it all. Israel integrated them, providing a haven, pride, dignity and freedom as it did for the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Palestinian refugees, on the other hand, were left to rot in UN refugee camps by their Arab brethren, fed with revanchist delusions about their inalienable “right of return” to Israel. If the Middle East tragedy is to be resolved, it is these camps – the seedbed of terrorism and an entire culture of hatred – which have to be dismantled and not the thriving Jewish state.

…the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Husseini, exploited social discontent, nationalism and religion to incite the Arabs of Palestine against the British and the Jews. His unscrupulous modus operandi and his reliance on frequent assassinations precluded any serious political opposition to his fascist rule. As a result of escalating Arab terrorism, Nazi-Germany decided to support the Mufti and his movement. On July 15, 1937, the Mufti told the German Consul-General in Jerusalem, W. Dohle, that the Palestinian Arabs were united in their “sympathy for the new Germany”. But it was not only the Mufti’s burgeoning relationship with Nazi-Germany that made his ilk of fascism so dangerous. The Mufti’s views, deeply influenced by the Nazis fascist ideology and his diplomatic initiatives quickly became the single unifying political cause celebre of the entire Arab world. Throughout World War II, Nazi propaganda praised the Arab terrorists as freedom fighters. In turn, the Mufti and his followers did everything in their power to weaken Great Britain in Palestine, the Middle East and North Africa.
During the years 1948-1967, pan-Arab ideologies were the rage of the Muslim world. The Iraqi statesman, ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Bazzaz, a leading proponent of conservative pan-Arabism, likened the position of the Arabs in Islam to that of the Russians in world communism. The radical strain of pan-Arabism, however, became far more influential than its conservative counterpart.

Tennis: Racism Rears Its Ugly Head Shahar Peer is an Israeli tennis player. The United Arab Emirates barred her from participating in the Barclays Dubai tournament

The Journal Editorial Report, February 21, 2009… Hits & misses… STEPHENS: This is a hit to the Women’s Tennis Association to players like the Williams sisters, to the American tennis channel, to everyone that did not allow the Arab Emirate of Dubai from getting away of barring women from playing in the Israeli tennis player, Shahar Peer, from playing in the Barclays Dubai tennis championship. Instead of shrugging it off, the tennis world insisted that Dubai reverse its decision or be kicked off the tennis calendar. Dubai folded. And while it’s too late for Shahar Peer to play, Israeli tennis great, Andy Ram is on his way to Dubai. It’s a victory for sports and it’s a defeat for bigotry.

DiCaprio To Convert to Judaism To Marry Bar: Arab World Says To Hell With Him
[23 Feb. 2009]
Israeli journalist, Guy Bechor, writes on the Israeli website gplanet (Hebrew language) that the Arab world is going crazy over reports that Leonardo DiCaprio is converting to Judaism in order to marry Sports Illustrated cover girl, Bar Rafieli, an Israeli.
The report appeared on Al-Arabiya website and, according to Bechor, is quite vicious. Apparently, Leo is a hero in the Arab world (everyone loved Titanic) but that the combination of his relationship with the Jewish beauty, and his conversion, should it happen) instantly transforms him to dirt in their eyes.
I thought the Arab world had changed? I thought that their objection is only to the occupation not to Israel itself, let alone the Jews.
But now Leo is being attacked the same way Elizabeth Taylor was when she became a Jew 45 years ago and was boycotted by the Arab world. I think she still is.
Anyway, if you know Arabic, read the 144 nasty contacts about Leo (and Bar) in Al Arabiya. It appears that they may hate us. They really do!
But who can hate Leo and Bar?

Are the Israeli Arabs a Trojan Horse… The P.L.O. and its leader, Arafat.. a macro concept of “Pan Arabism,” espousing the idea of a “Greater Palestine” in which every Arab is considered to be an integral part of a territorial dream… Their “liberation” means first of all the espousing of a Palestinian identity and national consciousness. After all they, they have loyalty to their brothers and sisters in the West Bank and Gaza or in the U.N. refugee camps in Lebanon and Syria. They also have loyalty to the great idea of Pan Arabism.

BISH-ARABISM COULD be defined as a radical and rapid shift among Israeli Arabs – especially their representatives in the Knesset – from relative moderation to extremism, spearheaded by Azmi, who himself went from being an advocate of peaceful coexistence between Jews and Arabs in Israel to a preacher against Israel’s existence.

Have the “Arab Palestinian” Knesset members turned racist?
By Ariel Natan Pasko March 26, 2006
Has the former Arafat mouthpiece and longtime “Palestinian” voice in the Israeli Knesset, Dr. Ahmed Tibi, (Ta’al party), turned away from integration?…
One thing we know, even before Hamas was elected to rule the Palestinian Authority, is that the Arabs want “Palestine” to be a Judenrein (Jew-free) Arab-only state.
And Ahmed Tibi is not alone. Not long ago, Israeli Arab leaders met with a group of forty foreign diplomats. They insisted that twenty percent of all foreign aid to Israel, be earmarked for the “Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel.” They want 20% of international donor money to be for Arabs only, while other the 80% of aid to Israel, should be for both communities as it has been till now. So who are the real racists?
…No, it’s not the vicious mass murder of Jews in malls, cafes, and on buses by Arab terrorists that causes Jews to feel uncomfortable around Arabs. Not the apartheid-style (or is that Nazi-style?) demand for a Judenrein Gaza, a Judenrein Palestine, even by so-called moderates like Mahmoud Abbas. Not the consistent polls for the last five years, showing 50-80% “Palestinian” support for suicide bombings, or the fact that Hamas garnered 58% of the vote in the recent elections in the PA. Not the recent announcements by Hamas leaders of their intention to continue what they euphemistically call the “resistance,” better called genocidal attacks against Jews in Israel. Not the public support Israeli Arabs, both leaders and led, both educated and not, have voiced for Hamas’ victory in the PA. Not the growing active participation of Israeli Arabs in terrorism against Israeli Jews. Not their own admission of disloyalty toward the State of Israel. Not their own call for apartheid-style segregation, and Arab supremist rights in Israel itself. No, it’s not any of the above reasons why many Jews have negative feelings toward Arabs in Israel.
No, it’s all the Jews’ own fault, according to Tibi, el-Sana, Barakeh, and others. How intellectually “honest” of them. It sounds to me like classic racism and anti-Semitism. Can you believe Israel is letting these anti-Semitic racists run..?

Judenrein Palestine?
Rachel Neuwirth
January 09, 2003
Why is it that people are proposing a Middle East peace plan that will make Judea and Samaria Judenrein (the Nazi term for a place with no Jews)?
It is the historic homeland and birthplace of the Jewish people, yet many world leaders – including every American president – believe that the removal of Jewish communities from Judea and Samaria is a crucial prerequisite for a peaceful resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, every Israeli prime minister has been pressured to follow this policy.
Jews have lived in Judea and Samaria for thousands of years. In fact, the Jewish religion and people were birthed in Hebron. We know of the ancient Jewish presence there from both the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and from abundant archaeological and documentary evidence.
No one denies that the oldest document showing the historical connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, including Judea and Samaria (a.k.a. the West Bank), is the Bible. Genesis 24:18 says: “And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Hebron.” And the world’s oldest documentation of real estate being purchased for full price is also in the Bible (see Genesis 23:9). And for those who doubt biblical references, there is substantial evidence in archaeological findings (see http://www.sciencedaily.com/encyclopedia/History\_of\_ancient\_Israel\_and\_Judah).
Historically, the Jewish homeland included what is today called Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights, and a considerable part of today’s Jordan. The land was inhabited mainly by Jews and was ruled by Jews. Therefore, Lord Robert Cecil, former acting British foreign secretary, was right to use the name “Judea” for the whole land in his famous remark: “Our wish is that Arabian countries shall be for the Arabs, Armenia for the Armenians, and Judea for the Jews.” (December 2, 1917; see http://www.esek.com/jerusalem/iudaea.html.)
The Jewish presence there has been continuous, except for 19 years from 1948 to 1967 when the area became Judenrein. And during that 19 year period, the Jordanians and Arabs of the remaining portion of “Palestine” desecrated Jewish holy sites and cemeteries in an attempt to deny that the Jews ever lived there.
Those who advocate the dismantling of the Jewish communities in this territory are advocating a policy of ethnic cleansing. This may sound extreme, but from the early 1900s, the Arabs carried out a policy of ethnic cleansing that included the massacre and pogroms in 1929 and 1936 in Hebron. Both the spirit and practice of ethnic cleansing are being continued in the current conflict (see http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf\_mandate\_grand\_mufti.php).
So, what did UN Secretary-General Kofi Anan mean in his 2001 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech when he said, “A genocide begins with the killing of one man — not for what he has done, but because of who he is. A campaign of ‘ethnic cleansing’ begins with one neighbor turning on another.”
Does this not also apply to the Israeli Jews who have re-established homes in Judea and Samaria? Should they be ethnically cleansed from the heart of their historical homeland? Does the Nobel recipient not know a real victim of ethnic cleansing when he sees one?
The same people and countries that condemned ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, Cyprus, Rwanda and Tibet totally reverse themselves when it comes to the right of Jewish people to live in the lands of their historic patrimony. If Chinese people were forbidden to live in China, Buddhists barred from Tibet, or Irish-Catholics banned from South Boston, there would be a tremendous outcry against such injustices. But where is the outcry against the removal of Jews from Judea — their historical homeland?
Is there any other nation on earth that has such a legitimate birth certificate as Israel? And if the Jews have no such document, then the Old and New Testaments are worthless.
The war for Israel’s independence ended in 1949 with the Jordanians in full control of Judea and Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem (the “West Bank”), cutting the Jewish people off from their most holy religious sites. The official status of these areas, then, was disputed territories, as no one had held sovereignty there since the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. Only two countries, Pakistan and Britain, recognized the 19-year Jordanian “illegal occupation”. Even the entire Arab world refused to recognize it and, consequently, it was illegal and illegitimate ab initio.
After the 1967 war, the Jewish people have simply been returning to the land from which they were forcibly expelled during the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948-49.
This territory has always been known as Judea and Samaria. Do the names “Jew” (for Judea) and “Samaritan” (as in “good Samaritan”) sound familiar? In fact, Shemer, founder of Asher, a clan of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was the owner and eponym of the hills of Samaria. Is there anything Arab or “Palestinian” about either? Even UN Resolution 181, the Partition Plan of 1947, refers to these territories as Judea and Samaria (http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/mideast.htm).
The word “occupiers” does not apply to the Jews. Prior to the illegal Jordanian occupation of 1948-67, Jews had maintained several thousand years of continual residence in the area. However, the term does apply to both the Jordanians and the “Palestinian” Arab squatters of today (http://www.tzemachdovid.org/Facts/islegal1.shtml).
In the early part of the 20th century, the Arab population carried out a war against the Jewish inhabitants of the area. This resulted in a series of massacres in Hebron, the birth place of Judaism, in 1929, as well as numerous other violent attacks, such as the 1936-39 pogroms against Jews, ending in the total expulsion of the Jewish population from much of Judea, Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem.
As a result of the Israeli victory in 1967, Jewish people returned to this area and re-unified the historic capital of Jerusalem. Many of the Jews who had been expelled from this territory, or whose parents and grandparents were murdered by rampaging Arabs, have merely returned to their previous homes. And in subsequent years, additional Jewish communities (not “illegal settlements”) were built, mainly for security purposes, and others for historical and emotional reasons on mainly state-owned land and historical outposts.
Judea and Samaria were liberated, not stolen or occupied, from Jordan (see http://www.tzemachdovid.org/Facts/islegal3.shtml and http://www.internationalwallofprayer.org/A-143-A-Settlers-History-of-Settlements).
Since 1967, 261 new Arab settlements have been built in Judea and Samaria. According to international law, all of these are illegal, as no sovereignty was ever recognized over these territories; yet no one calls for their removal. Why is it that no one talks about those Arab settlements as obstacles to peace — especially when they are bases for carrying out terrorism, and their inhabitants are constantly taught virulent hatred toward the Jewish people and the West?
Dismantling the Jewish communities in these territories will only reward terrorism.
The Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, are a litmus test of Arab intentions. Why can’t Jews live in their historic homeland if there really is peace? After all, there are 1.2 million Arabs living as citizens of Israel in the one Jewish country in the world, while there are only a handful of Jews living in any of the 22 Arab countries. In fact, in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, not only is it illegal for Jews to be citizens, they are not even allowed to live there.
Therefore, instead of Israel being the “apartheid state” in the region, it is the Arab world that is not only apartheid, but also racist and religiously exclusive.

The Philosopher of Islamic Terror… The Islamists and the Pan-Arabists could be compared, in these ambitions, with the Italian Fascists of Mussolini’s time, who wanted to resurrect the Roman Empire, and to the Nazis, who likewise wanted to resurrect ancient Rome, except in a German version. The most radical of the Pan-Arabists openly admired the Nazis and pictured their proposed new caliphate as a racial victory of the Arabs over all other ethnic groups. Qutb and the Islamists, by way of contrast, pictured the resurrected caliphate as a theocracy, strictly enforcing shariah, the legal code of the Koran. The Islamists and the Pan-Arabists had their similarities then, 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 represents the most violent wing of Pan-Arabism.)

…This Arab-Islamic union was given ideological heft last week at a two-day conference in Doha, Qatar. “The Sixth Pan-Arab and Islamic Conference” brought together some 270 leading pan-Arab and jihadist leaders from throughout the world. The jihadists, led by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, 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.” Iranian and Iraqi Shiite ayatollahs also reportedly attended.
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. In his words, “All Arabs, Kurds, Sunni, Shia, right-wingers, left-wingers should be united in the full-scale battle with the enemies. They are launching a political, economic, social and civilizational, and cultural battle against us and we should unify our efforts to stand up to it.”
The participants all echoed Qaradawi’s call for Fatah and Hamas to formally merge and so reflect the wider trend of consolidation in the cause of jihad that is occurring throughout the Arab world. As Qaradawi put it, “Pan-Arabism and Islam are very closely linked. There is no contradiction between them. Whoever is seeking to separate Pan-Arabism from Islam is trying to separate the soul from the body.”
That the pan-Arabists and Islamists are military allies in the global jihad was made clear this week in the Horn of Africa as Sunday Ethiopia invaded Somalia.

In response, these notes were posted: “To the heroes of Arabism and Jihad, since you are sparing no method to attack the West and you gloat as you try to kill the largest number of civilians. How would you like it if the West relieves itself of your headache by hitting you with one of its nuclear weapons. It takes only minutes and then there will be no heroes, no men and no shish kebab.”

Arab Colonization Series: Pan-Africanism vs Pan-Arabism… Arab enslavement of Africans is hardly a thing of the past; it persists to this day with a vengeance in such places as Mauritania, while the scourge of colonization and forcible Arabisation of Africans survives in such places as the Sudan. Arab racism, whose wellspring is the Koran itself, acquires a conspicuous new manifes- tation in, for instance, the de-Algerianization of Frantz Fanon.
On top of all this, the assumed quid pro quo of the “alliance” has worked one-sidedly to the Arabs’ advantage: the very institutional expres- sion of the “coalition” since 1963, the OAU, has become a virtual captive of the Arabs in the service of Arab interests.
Despite the organization’s injunction against the fomenting of religious separatism, the path of Arab imperialism has been oiled and smoothed by the weapon of Islam whose spoils include the conver- sion of untold millions of Africans into Arabophiles, as well as the dissipation of the dream of black unity through the fostering of religious divisiveness among African populations.

Caucasophobia… March 2005, peaceful white, French demonstrators were attacked by bands of black and Arab youths. One 18-year-old named Heikel added that he had “a pleasant memory” of repeatedly kicking a student, already defenseless on the ground. The sentiment was a desire to “take revenge on whites.”

Newly Appointed French Arab Justice Minister… Reactions by Arab North Africans to Rachida Dati’s Nomination On blogs and websites, Rachida Dati was harshly criticized for supporting Sarkozy by writers identified as North African Arabs. Dati was even described as “North African on the outside, bigoted Caucasian on the inside.” Another contributor wrote: “Ms. Dati’s parents wouldn’t even have been allowed to enter France under Sarkozy’s proposed immigration policies, and that’s just one of the reasons I find her so hypocritical.”

In Yemen, there is a minority of people with dark complexion called al-Akhdam. Historically speaking, their presence in Yemen has been a result of the Ethiopian pre- Islam invasion in 525 BC. Settling down in Yemen and throughout the years have adapted a life style in which they practice many trades especially folklore dancing, handicrafts, cleaning and some other free trades. Unofficial statistics show that the population of this minority reaches 500,000 inhabitants living in Sana’a, Shabowa, Lahj, Abyan, Aden and al-Hudaida… they complain from the harassment that al-Akhdam females suffer by the local men who find weddings an opportunity to do so with pretty dancers or singers. Demographic distribution of al-Akhdam in the suburbs is defined according to the tribes. For every tribe has its own Akhdam group of men and women. This group knows its limits and can not cross the red lines between them and the tribe they are living with. In the cities this trend is almost extinct because in most weddings al-Akhdam’s artistic services have been substituted with that of the locals, by this depriving the Akhdam of one source of income. Recently, al-Akhdams have started to become relatively politically active, and in the democratic environment and multi-party system, they have decided to form a political party of their own calling it “Free Blacks Society” whose sole intention is to defend their rights and demand their needs to be fulfilled enhancing by that their living.

UN COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, Yemen, 2006
The Committee is deeply concerned at the persistent reports of de facto discrimination against descent-based, culturally distinct communities, among others, the Al-Akhdam. The Committee is particularly concerned about discrimination that interferes with or impairs the enjoyment of their economic, social and cultural rights (arts. 2 (2) and 5). In light of its general recommendation 29, the Committee recommends that the State party develop and put into action a national strategy with the participation of members of affected communities, including special measures to be adopted in accordance with article 2 (2) of the Convention, in order to eliminate discrimination against members of marginalized and vulnerable descent-based groups. In particular, the Committee recommends that the State party develop legislation and practice prohibiting all discriminatory practices based on descent in employment, housing and so as to ensure equal access to health care and social security services for members of affected communities, in particular the Al-Akhdam.
The study deals with a case of extreme social practices of cruelty and violent socio-economic exclusion of “Al-Akhdam”, a minority social group

racial discrimination in the Arab world … Yemeni paper Al-Tagheer …the paper had space to tackle another serious social ill in Yemeni society: racial discrimination. The celebrated Yemeni poet Ali Al-Maquarri warned that Yemen’s blacks, pejoratively called Al-Akhdam (servants), are ill- treated and suffer a fate far worse than slavery and that they have to contend with systematic racial discrimination. His novel “Black tastes, black odours”, was received with much critical acclaim in his native Yemen and elsewhere in the Arab world. Al-Maquarri’s views, the paper said, will hopefully prompt others — media workers, writers and human rights activists — in the Arab world to be more sensitised to the cause of blacks.

South Asian workers in Saudi
Rabiya Parekh 4 Apr 06, 03:51 PM Abdullah Al Mutairi has spoken out against an issue which seems to be prevalent in a lot of Middle Eastern countries, but is seldom talked about.
Sunny Hundal writing in Pickled Politics came across his article recently about the poor treatment of migrant workers in the Middle East.
Every year Indians, Pakistanis and other workers from the Indian Sub Continent flock to countries like Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for work as servants and labourers.
But many are treated poorly by their employers in their host countries. According the Abdullah there is a distinct lack of respect for these workers, who often do the jobs that many people don’t like to do themselves.
But the prospect of a steady income and the need to provide for their families in South Asia keeps them there, putting up with bad treatment and poor labour rights.
We really want to hear from people who have family members working out in the Middle East, and in partcular an honest insight to how workers are treated from those who live there.
Why is the treatment of foreign workers so bad in the MIddle East? What is behind it? Have you ever worked there?

Saudi Arabia’s legalised racism
A foreign female university professor “let’s call her Hala“ teaches in Saudi Arabia. Her elderly parents come to visit – they go for a pilgrimage in the holy sites, then stay a few weeks at their daughter’s.
As Hala goes to the visa office to request a 2-week extension for her mother, the officer in charge tells her it’s okay and she needn’t worry about it, her mother can stay these extra two weeks, no trouble at all.
As the mother goes to the airport, two weeks past her visa “ well, it’s not okay. They let the old woman through but confiscate her daughter’s passport (which is illegal, since she technically commited no crime, but since when did that matter in this country?)
The Saudi visa officer denies any involvement and refuses to even talk to Hala, who is consequently sentenced to a 10,000 SAR (3000 USD) fine and deportation. Deportation. No legal grounds are provided for this decision – there wasn’t even a trial or anything. Just arbitrary. The officer in charge was probably upset of her being a single working female — too much for his narrow intellect to fathom.
Only, she’s a good professor, and her university intervenes “ not because they care for her, but because they need to keep her.
So, after 18 months – during which her passport remained confiscated and she had to stay in the country – the deportation sentence is lifted; the fine remains.
Poor Hala, unwilling to spend another summer vacation locked inside the country, decides to stop challenging the sentence and pay her unjust fine. The Saudi legal system is so biased against foreigners that fighting it can only lead to a worsening of one’s case.
And this was Hala vs. the State: had it been Hala vs. citizen alpha, she’d probably be in jail on a bogus charge or something.
This is what Saudi Arabia is all about: extorting foreign labour, sucking them dry, then pissing over them

Saudi Arabia: Asian immigrant forced to clean mosques for ’skipping prayers’ Riyadh, 18 Nov. (2008) (AKI) – A Saudi civil court has ordered an Asian immigrant to clean mosques next month during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca after religious police caught him skipping Friday prayers several times, Saudi daily al-Watan reports. The man will have to clean five mosques along the highway into Mecca twice daily for eleven days, the court ruled…
Earlier this month, a judge ordered a young man to memorise part of the Koran and 40 sayings of the Prophet Mohammed as a punishment for appearing in public with a woman who was not a relative. [...]
The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligation for all able-bodied Muslims to attend at least once during their lives, provided they can afford it.

THE ROVING EYE
Dubai lives the post-oil Arab dream
By Pepe Escobar
Jun 7, 2006
DUBAI – Welcome to the ultimate sociopolitical model for the 21st century: a Blade Runner-esque melting pot of neo-liberalism and “subterranean” economy, Sunni Arab Islam and low taxes, souks and artificial islands, a giant warehouse and a tourist paradise, life in the fast lane and post-modern slavery. The model spells out an apolitical, consumer-mad, citizenship-free society.
[...]
It’s fair to argue what distinguishes a citizen from a non-citizen in a state where there’s no democracy at all. The power of Dubai’s absolute ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, could be defined as Genghis Khan-like. But if you’re an immigrant coming from Iran’s theocratic nationalism, India’s bureaucratic nightmare or Pakistan’s barely disguised dictatorship, the last thing you’ll want is an interventionist state. So Deng Xiaoping’s dictum – “to get rich is glorious” – ultimately prevails. Lee Kwan Yew applied it in Singapore – and it worked marvels.
Racism in Dubai – as in the US south – is pervasive, but off-limits to discussion, even as the fragile social pact between citizens and foreign residents, which in essence means “shut up and do your job”, is faltering. A 15% minority could not possibly impose either its language or religion on a cosmopolitan majority – especially when religion is the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. Thus (Western and Arab) men can get drunk in licensed bars, pubs and restaurants and (Western only) women can wear bikinis on the beach.
[...]
Meet the slaves The social pyramid in Dubai is unforgiving. At the base is the average construction worker, inevitably South Asian, either Pakistani or Indian. He’s invisible. But he and his fellow workers now comprise an astonishing 80% of the UAE’s population. Human Rights Watch has repeatedly complained that this archetypal construction worker is never treated like a human being. But the UAE power structure couldn’t care less.
He works a minimum of 12 hours a day in up to 50 degrees, with a half-hour break, six days a week, and earns no more than $150 a month. He lives in a camp, four and sometimes as many as 12 to a 15-square-meter room lost in the dreary al-Quoz industrial suburb. On his day off, exhausted, he watches Bollywood video discs and catches up with news from home in the Deira souk. One night at the Emirates Towers (in a standard room) would consume five months of his salary. He can only come back home to see his family – which gets an average of 50% of his monthly salary – once every two years. If he’s really lucky – or an elderly expat, a former skilled worker – he may eke out a comfortable living as a taxi driver.
He has no rights. Trade unions are banned. If he speaks up, he’s instantly deported. Or, in desperation, he may follow the path of thousands who escaped to massive slums crammed with illegal immigrants in neighboring Sharjah. If she’s a woman and works as a maid or in a hotel, she can be sexually harassed – and there will be no recourse.
Dozens of construction workers died in 2005. Most of these Spidermen of the Gulf simply fell from the huge new towers, as slings and ropes are not exactly high-tech. A worker died of suffocation in Palm Jumeirah, where the local press discovered that many were being fed half a lemon a day working in 45-degree heat. An array of dodgy companies is addicted to delaying payment of salaries – or not paying at all – as well as confiscating passports.
Slightly better off than the South Asians are the Filipinos, some other Southeast Asians and some Eastern Europeans serving – or playing – in bars, restaurants, hotels, the whole tourist, fun-in-the-sun industry.
Well-paid (and white) Westerners – more than 100,000 – live lavishly as engineers, surveyors, managers, analysts, teachers. The overwhelming majority are Anglos – British, Irish, South Africans, Australians. Every major Western and Japanese IT and audio-video giant, as well as every major financial-services company, is based in Dubai.
But there are many constraints even for the well off. If you are a non-UAE national, you can only buy land in designated “free zones”. Foreign companies can only operate by paying a UAE kafeel (sponsor, guarantor) to be their local representative (it is a kafeel who also monopolizes the “import” of foreign workers). Only UAE nationals can work for the government. And education and health care are free only for UAE nationals – certainly not for the South Asians.
Finally, at the top of the pyramid is the al-Maktoum family and its associates, controlling and investing the well of cash derived from oil, exercising total political and social control and building the futuristic version of Arabia based on trade and finance.

The fact that all of those entities that call themselves “Arab states” are governed by dictatorships is proof that what they stand for is wrong. These gangster-like regimes collaborate with each other in oppressing their own people, using deadly force and fear tactics while pushing hateful agendas. They delude themselves in thinking they can build free markets and vibrant economies while their people still suffer oppression and lack basic freedoms. Rather each country should abandon Arabism and look inward for a definition of itself.

Arabism – Racism [concised info, Wiki style]
Arabism = racism!Contents
|
Pan-Arabism and Arabization
A movement for unification among the peoples and countries of the Arab World, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea. It is closely connected to Arab nationalism which asserts that the Arabs constitute a single nation.
Pan-Arabism & Islam
At times Pan-Arabism has tended to be secular and often socialist, but often it embeds within it Islamic tradition and culture or Islamism (like the genocide in Darfur). and has strongly opposed colonialism and Western political involvement in the Arab world. Also historic Arabizing of the middle east [1] and in Africa that process is still going on today [2]. Pan-Arabism is a form of nationalism and cultural nationalism.
There’s a strong argument that Arabism was never detached from Islamism, To this day, Islam has retained its imperial ambitions. The dream of regional and world domination has remained very much alive, despite the destruction long ago of the last great Muslim empire, which has left the Islamic caliphate vacant. The 20th century doctrine of pan-Arabism (exemplified by Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser), though secular in appearance, has been effectively Islamic in its ethos, worldview, and imperialist vision. Karsh quotes Nuri Said, longtime prime minister of Iraq and a prominent early champion of pan-Arabism: “Although Arabs are naturally attached to their native land, their nationalism is not confined by boundaries. It is an aspiration to restore the great tolerant civilization of the early caliphate.” [3].
At Baathism there was a greater link between Islamism & Arabism, Fascist movement, Ba’athism. Ba’athism’s founding thinkers, the Syrians Sati al-Husri and Michel Aflaq, composed a Koranic super narrative of Arabism, soil and Islam. They wrote of an Islam as the great cultural and intellectual achievement of the Arab people, and it in turn formed a symbiotic relationship with Arabism, such that they flowed from one another, locked in an eternal embrace. [4].
In their book: “Case Studies on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms: A World Survey” 1975, pg 88, Willem Adriaan Veenhoven, Winifred Crum Ewing write about Discrimination Case studies: After the 1860 Syrian massacres, the Christians had tried to promote an Arab nationalism, irritated the Muslims, Thanks to the theologians of Al Azhar, the two movements, antagonistic at first, fused into Islamic pan-arabism. Today it is clear that Islam and Arabism, are inseparable terms and that in fact, pan-arabism is synonymous with the cultural social and political rebirth of Islam… a true Arab must be Muslim. As long as modern Egypt will proclaim itself to be “essentially an Arab and Muslim land” uncertainty will continue to weigh on the Copts, the only remaining native religious minority after the forced departure of eighty thousand Jews. When Nasser came to power, Egypt resolutely turned its face towards Arabism …became its staunchest champion and Cairo proclaimed Islamic unity pursued an active policy of pan-arabism which identified Islam with Arabism. The Precarious situation of the minorities became even ore acute. Was it possible to be a Christian and an Arab? [5].
At The 2006 Sixth Pan-Arab and Islamic Conference, The jihadists led by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, included Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, Hizbullah leader Hassan Hadroug and the Iraqi Sunni jihadist ideologue Sheikh Hathir al-Dari, Qaradawi put it, “Pan-Arabism and Islam are very closely linked” [6].
Christians of Egypt’s Rafik Farag, M.D analysys: In modern times, President Nasser (1954-1970) stimulated the growth of “pan-Arabism,” and with it the awareness of Islam as a possible way of reuniting what history had put asunder. He saw the failure of pan-Arabism resulting not from Islamic principles as the marriage between politics and religion but from foreign intervention. The problem which the Nasserites experienced with their ideology simply restates the problem with its marginality. The Saudis who saw pan-Arabism as a great movement toward the restoration of one Islamic nation (Caliphate) and the Egyptian, whom he wished to accept this idea, were too far apart. Saddam Hussein saw pan-Arabism as a way to build an Arab empire and Muammar Kadahfy of Libya used it to dominate the Middle East. [7].
Africans write about headship of AU, Libya’s strongman Muammar Gadhafi’s championing pan-Arabism and pan-Islamism [8] “aggressive spread of Islam through Arabism“, that invitation to his fellow Arabs is nothing but a declaration of race war on Africa. It is an invitation to more Arabs to invade and colonise Africa. Indeed, it is a call for the final phase of the 15 centuries old Arab lebensraum war on Afrikans – a war to Islamise and conquer all of Africa, from Cairo to the Cape and from Senegal to Somalia, and to then enslave or Arabise all the conquered Afrikans. In order to make that clear, it is necessary to first put his invitation in the context of the traditions of Arab melanophobia and negrophobia, and of Arab expansionist ambitions and conquests that go back to the time of their Arab prophet, Muhammed.” With his present pre-occupation, this fear may have been assuaged [9].
Roots in Fascism
“The most radical of the Pan-Arabists openly admired the Nazis and pictured their proposed new caliphate as a racial victory of the Arabs over all other ethnic groups” [10].
An Arabist can be referred to someone that is well knowledgeable of Arab culture and nationality but can also be referred to a radical nationalist anti non-Arab.
As an ultra nationalist ideology it has been embedded with bigotry in its roots and in its motivated action.
In the words of political science professor Adeed Dawisha, pan-Arabism at its inception was deeply influenced by European fascism, with the result that “Arab nationalists, infused with the illiberal ideas of cultural nationalism, had almost nothing to say about personal liberty and freedom.” Thus, in keeping with his pan-Arab beliefs, Maksoud has apologized or excused the excesses of assorted Arab tyrannies. [11].
1920’s – ‘1930s – 1940s
In ‘A History of Fascism, 1914-1945′ – by Stanley G. Payne, page 515 he writes: Some of the new nationalist regimes which developed in the Middle East during the second half of the century exhibited more of the characteristics of fascism than those of any other part of the world. A first example was the Egyptian regime under Nasser, with its Fuhrerprinzip… Libyan dictatorship of Muammar al-Gadhafi a fanatical Muslim… “Brother Colonel” has renounced capitalism, preaching pan-Arabism and a form of “Arab socialism” while his interest in militarism, violence [12] and from page 352: (Iraqi) Futuwa ideologue, envisioning the “Arab nation” as eventually covering half the globe (though by conversion…) [13].
One of the classical combination of pan-Arabism & pan-Islamism was in the Mufti of Jerusalem, he had a pan-Arabism, pan Islamist character [14], (Jihad and) pan-Arabism in its violent form find a common root in him [15]. he influenced Arabism to continue to wage war against non-Islamic nations and peoples [16].
Racism
In General
‘Arabism Equals Racism’, in an elaborated article, Gerald A. Honigman writes on the “acceptance of anyone else’s political rights in a multi-ethnic region that most Arabs see exclusively as “purely Arab patrimony.” That’s the Arab-Israel conflict in a nutshell; but it is also the core of the Arab-Berber, Arab-Kurd, Arab-Black African, Arab-Copt, Arab-Assyrian, Arab-non-Arab Lebanese conflicts, as well, among others. The Arabs’ Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and their actions in Darfur and the rest of the southern Sudan are just a few of many examples of Arab genocidal actions against all who might disagree.” [17].
The bigotry linkage of Arabism’s supremacy and radical Islam, by A ‘Short Critique of Islamic Fundamentalism’ Around the late 1920s the Moslem Brotherhood was formed by Arabist thinkers racial supremacy [18]. 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 [19].
Walid Phares writes about Arabism’s denial of identity of millions of indigenous non-Arab nations as an ethnic cleansing on a politico-cultural level [20].
Christians of Iraq site published an extensive historic account on “The Foolishness of imposing Oppressive Arab Nationalism on Non Arabs, Non-Arab Muslim minorities such as the Amazigh, or Berbers, Kurds, and Turkmen found themselves officially out of favor. They faced the prospect of becoming “Arabized” or of being denied political and even civil rights. Groups that identified themselves as neither Arab nor Muslim had it even worse: Southern Sudanese, Copts, Jews, and Assyrians were plunged into a protracted nightmare that saw their communities ground into anonymity, forcing many to emigrate permanently. Even Maronites, whose retention of political power in Lebanon immunized them from utter marginalization, watched with alarm as Arab nationalist propaganda increasingly portrayed them as a foreign and sinister element in the heart of the Arab nation.” [21]
Adel Makhoul wrote in May 1, 2005 about Pan-Arabists: Hiding Arab Racism, that they’re agents of racism: Arab Racism, that always supported Arab unity and “Islam” at the expense of non-Arab and non-Moslem peoples and tries to deflect the world’s attention from Arab and Moslem atrocities committed against Christians, Kurds, Jews, Israelis, Coptic Christians, non-Arab Sudanese, etc. he also points to the fact that Sadam Hussein’s poisoning of the Kurds has never been condemned by one Arab intellectual or leader. This is because a racist prevalent attitude in the Arab mind is that the entire Middle East should be Arab. This also explains the attitude towards Israel, a country that is predominantly non-Moslem and speaks a Middle Eastern language other than Arabic.[22] Michael Totten decries the tired Arab nationalist myth that Arabism protects Christians. [23]
Anti-Persian
A historic account of Pan-Arabism’s Legacy of Confrontation with Iran & Arab racism against Iranians. [24], Iran Heritage says that It was in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq where Arab racism attained its most vulgar … The “Arabization” of Persian contributions on the world stage was in full. [25]
The Egyptian Arab in the Al Qaeda organization, A. Zawahiri described in April 2008 the “Persians” as the enemy of Arabs [26].
Anti-Assyrian
Assyrians explain that they simply want to live in peace and freedom but have been suffering ethnic cleansing from Islamists and pan-Arabists [27], Bakr Sidqi, the Baghdadi army’s chief responding to the zealous cry of the new pan-Arab fascists organised the cold blooded massacre of innocent Assyrians [28], Assyrian writers explain that: The deep and hidden reason of the tyrannical oppression practiced throughout the Middle East is the imposition of pan-Arabic nationalist cliques that intend to dictatorially arabize the various peoples of the Middle East, who are �- all — not Arabs [29], they are part of any other non-Arab group that was “Arabized” by brutal Arabization [30] & a “new morality” of Arabism [31].
Anti-Kurd
The Kurds in Syria between 2 to 2.5 million [32] they’re second class citizens, for many not citizens at all, the attempts of Erasing Ethnic Identity. Syrian Kurds were banned from giving their children names reflecting their ethnic identity. Pary Karadaghi, Director of Kurdish Human Rights Watch in Washington, says one of the most basic ways of showing Kurdish identity was taken away. “The campaign of ‘Arabization’ actually replaced the Kurdish names, People could not have Kurdish names on cities, buildings [and] businesses. Children’s names could not be Kurdish.” Syria’s Kurds struggle for years to survive despite government oppression on many fronts. [33] , they’ve been subjected to racist Arabist policies [34] And a cry against Syria’s oppression has gone out. [35].
As a wave of pan-Arabism swept the Middle East in the 1950s and 1960s, the Syrian government decided in 1962 to strip thousands of Kurds of their citizenship. The method: a census supposedly designed to root out “alien infiltrators” from Turkey. If a Kurd could not prove residency in Syria since 1945, he or she lost Syrian citizenship. … Kurds in Syria are designated as “foreigners”, The Baath Party launched an official Arabization campaign in 1963 that began to stamp out Kurdish street names, Kurdish publications, and even Kurdish personal name [36].
Kurdish writer charges that: The Arab League as a useless ideological racist Arabist institution has existed only to promote Arabism and Arab racism against colonised non-Arab nations [37].
Iraq’s Saddam Hussein’s Anfal campaign was designed to depopulate ethnic cleansing the Kurdish regions in northern Iraq. [38], Kurdish writers decry the massacre of Halabja and The Racism of so-called Arab Intellectuals towards Kurds and Kurdistan [39] [40].
At the trial of Ali Hassan al-Majid also known as Chemical Ali (who led the chemical attack on the Kurds), his co-defendant, Abdul Ghafor al-Ani, who headed Saddam’s Baath Party in southern Iraq, shouted: “I welcome death if it is for Iraq, for pan-Arabism and for the Baath [41].
Anti-Berber
The UN documented the racism against Indigenous peoples Multi-ethnic States, The Imazighen Berbers are the indigenous peoples of northern Africa and the Sahel [42]. Despite Arabization’s oppression in north-Africa, they are a proud people[43], Morocco’s Berbers Battle to Keep Their Culture [44], in 2004 they spoke out and attacked Moroccan state racism [45]. Berber Leader Belkacem Lounes: “There Is No Worse Colonialism Than That of the Pan-Arabist Clan that Wants to Dominate Our People” [46].
Kabylia info writes about oppression and tyranny of its people by Arabic-Islamic colonialism [47], the IHT’s description: This is Kabylia, one of Algeria’s most restive regions – home to a stubborn and proud ethnic minority of Berbers who since the end of the colonial era four decades ago have fought to preserve their cultural identity and independence. [48]
On Caucasians
SHEIK Taj Din al-Hilali: “The Western people are the biggest liars and oppressors and especially the English race,” the Mufti of Australia said in Arabic during the extensive interview in Egypt, his birthplace. [49]
On the racist gang rape spree by Arab Lebanese in Australia targeting specifically white girls, From the Sydney Morning Herald 2002 Racist rapes: Finally the truth comes out, So now we know the facts, straight from the Supreme Court, that a group of Lebanese Muslim gang rapists from south-western Sydney hunted their victims on the basis of their ethnicity and subjected them to hours of degrading, dehumanising torture. The young women, and girls as young as 14, were “sluts” and “Aussie pigs”, the rapists said. So now that some of the perpetrators are in jail, will those people who cried racism and media “sensationalism” hang their heads in shame? Hardly. [50]
Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993: “I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave.” [51]
In March 2005, peaceful white, French demonstrators were attacked by bands of black and Arab youths. One 18-year-old named Heikel added that he had “a pleasant memory” of repeatedly kicking a student, already defenseless on the ground. The sentiment was a desire to “take revenge on whites.” [52]
In 2006 Arab “Youths” Kick Man to Death on Crowded Bus in Antwerp Belgium [53].
In 2007, In Reactions by Arab North Africans to Rachida Dati’s Nomination as French Arab Justice Minister, Dati was described as “North African on the outside, bigoted Caucasian on the inside.” [54]
Anti-Jewish
In General
Pan-Arabism’s anti-Jewish ideology
The champion of pan-Arabism Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser used the infamous anti-Semitic “protocols” libel in his war against Israel. [55], Both pan-Arabism and pan-Islamic ideologies looked to Hitler’s Germany as a model Haj Amin al-Husseini expressed his admiration for the way ‘the Germans have definitively solved the Jewish problem,’ [56] & Gamal Abdel Nasser’s affinity for the Mufti was great [57], Joachim Wurst describes the emergence and psychological mechanisms of modern anti-Semitism and particularly of genocidal Islamist anti-Semitism. He traces the development of this trend from the Muslim Brotherhood and the Mufti of Jerusalem in the 1930s and 1940s through the pan-Arabism of the 1950s and 1960s up to the present-day Islamism. [58].
Racism in Arabism was already strong in the 1920’s, Dr. Kaveh Farrokh explains that to understand the awkwardness (and indeed irrationality) of pan-Arabism (or any form of racialism), one is compelled to also briefly learn about the true founders of the B’aath party; Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Din al-Bitar. Both were born in Damascus, they formed their party on the basis of pan-Arabism, like the movements that had taken place in neighboring Iraq in the 1920s. Another influential and French (Sorbonne) educated Syrian, was Zaki al-Arsuzi. Al-Arsuzi was especially outspoken in his racism against the local Turks of Syria and especially venomous in his hatred against the Jews [59] He proves that Pan-Arabism is an extremely racist and chauvenistic movement on par with Nazism, whose ideology is anti-western, anti-Jewish and anti-Persian. [60]
1800’s & 1920’s.
The origin of anti-Jewish feelings among Arabs do not originate from what they perceive as ‘the occupation of Palestine’ and the creation of Israel. Even before the creation of the Israeli state in 1948 on what was before Palestine, a largely uninhabited terrain, many Jews were recorded attacked in various settlements by Arabs since the late 1800’s [61].
‘Historical and Investigative Research’ examines if Arab anti-Jewish racism in the first half of the 20th c. (that was marked already then with slaughtering of Jews with the racist shouting of Itbach al Yahud – kill the Jews) was fundamentally indifferent from the European variety [62]. On March 1, 1944. the famous Mufti: Amin Al-Husseini makes speech from Berlin addressing Muslim SS Nazi troops: “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, History and Religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.” [63].
On Syria’s Baathism’s racism [64] Major ideas of Baathism center around racism and anti-Semitism. The Baath party stems from the Pan-Arab movement [65], examples: Syrian Daily Al Baath, October 21, 1998 had an antisemitic cartoon, and on October 21, 1998 on Syrian TV: In these days, all of us, Arabs and Muslims, must stand together against the Jews [66].
Egypt has played gross anti-Jewish TV extravaganza “Horse without Horseman” which also portrays the Arab/Israeli conflict in an antisemitic anti-Jewish format [67]. so do anti-Jewish themes in Hezbollah Media. [68] Memri documents Anti-Semitism in the Arab world [69], So does the ADL [70], Saudi Arabia bans Jewish visitors [71]. Pew’s finding in 2005 found that in Muslim nations such as (even moderate) Jordan most viewed Jews unfavorably. [72].
In February 2009, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) denied entry visa to an Israeli tennis player into the country for the international games. “To discriminate as the UAE did against one player in this way smacks of bigotry and racism” [73] [74], The Women’s Tennis Association has fined the Dubai Open organisers $US300,000 ($A465,000) [75], Sponsors have pulled out of Dubai over this ‘racism row’ [76], Bret Stephens on ([77] Wall Street Journal’s “hits & misses”) The Fining of UAE for denial of visa to Israeli tennis player is a “defeat for bigotry”.
In February, 2009, the Arab world went crazy over reports that Leonardo DiCaprio is converting to Judaism & his relationship with a Jewish beauty, hateful messages flooded sites such as Al Arabiya [78] [79].
But it knows no borders, of the ADL’s records documenting antisemitic attacks worldwide [80], the larger portion of those listed since 2002 (to 2008) were attributed to Arabs, especially those in Europe, in a sport game in Chile, Non-Jewish Goldberg (mistaken for Jew) made headlines after fans of Palestino, a Chilean team set up by Palestinian Arabs hurled racial slurs, ‘They called me J. garbage’ [81].
In 2007 the London editor of pan-Arab daily was praying for Iranian nuclear genocide attack on Israel [82] “if the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight.” circulating its propaganda to about 50,000 readers [83].
Europe
A few examples in France: Already in October 2000 among a very long and troubling list of attacks, Jews threatened and shoved by Arabs outside O.Y. Synagogue in Paris (first of two incidents) & ‘Death to Jews’ painted on two Synagogues in Marseilles [84], between 2000-2001 200 Arabs attacked Jews on the Champs Elysees [85], in March 2003 French Arab Muslims attack Jews in Paris in an “anti-war” march [86], in 2003 Jewish congregations in Sweden have noted a sharp increase in “harassment threats and attacks by Arabs and Muslims against Jews [87], in 2004 Six Arab youths attacked a twenty three year old young mother with her thirteen month old baby [88] after “deciding” she was Jewish, cut her hair with knives, slashed her clothes and scrawled swastikas on her belly in black felt-tip pen [89],in March 2006 Jews attacked in Paris suburbs by Arabs [90] in June 2008 Jewish Boy Attacked by Arab Muslim Mob in Paris [91], A 17-year-old French Jew Rudy Haddad attacked by North-Africans (Arabs) Jewish teen brutally beaten in apparent anti-Semitic attack in Paris, “[Sarkozy] assures the victim and his family of his support and renews his total determination to fight all forms of racism and anti-Semitism,” said a statement from Sarkozy’s office. A 23-year-old French Jew, Ilan Halimi, was found naked, tortured and covered in burns near Paris on February 13, 2006, after being held captive for three weeks. He died on the way to the hospital. The crime shocked France and raised fears of surging anti-Semitism among French Muslims. In February of this year, another Jewish teenager was tortured in the same town in which Halimi was killed, in yet another anti-Semitic attack. [92].
At the UN
The Arab Lawyers Union of Egypt in Durban in 2001, distributed a booklet of violently Anti Jewish cartoons and has, since then, continued its incitement to Jew-hatred [93].
Jeremy Jones wrote in a report in 2004 on Australia that some of the most overt anti-Jewish rhetoric in recent years has come from the Muslim and Arab groups & communities, and within the Arab and Muslim communities there is a group of activists who seek at every opportunity to denigrate Jews, not only in association with attacks on Israel [94].
On campus
Columbia University’s investigation into charges of anti-Jewish intimidation by Arab professors [95].
Harassment on Jewish students in Canadian universities by Arabs like in Carleton [96], Concordia University [97] which has been described by some as “centre of militant Arabism in Canada” [98]. [99] there were charges (in 2002) of militant Arabism in Canada’s Concordia University.
On May 7 2002, an example has been seen at the SFSU while a large, angry crowd of Arab Palestinians and their supporters swarmed a Jewish peace rally (where students wore t-shirts that said “peace” in English, Hebrew and Arabic) members, used physical violence, and shouted “Get out or we will kill you” and “Hitler did not finish the job” [100] [101] [102].
November 2008, Arab Students at UC Berkeley Disrupt Israel Event, Attack Jews The Arab students unfurled the large flag on a balcony above the outdoor site where the concert was taking place, inciting a provocation right in front of the concert-goers, who were enjoying the event as part of the campus’ Israel Liberation Week. Several Jewish concertgoers went into the building to ask the Arabs to remove the flag – but were viciously attacked, with one male concertgoer knocked down from a blow on the back of his head, witnesses said. College alumnus Gabe Weiner, who was helping run the concert, was assaulted by the leader of the anti-Israel group, Husam Zakharia, who also attacked one of the performers, Yehuda De Sa. The fight was finally broken up by John Moghtader, a senator in the UC Berkeley student organization. Police were called in and arrested Zakharia along with others from his group, charging them with battery. Witnesses said that the Arab students shouted anti-Semitic curses and epithets throughout the incident, calling the Jews “Nazis” and “dogs,” [103].
There are complaints against the Muslim Students Association MSA of racism against Jews coming from its Arabs, Muslims, in 2008 Author David Horowitz, a popular conservative writer, was derided in a Nazi-like anti-Semitic cartoon, put out by the Muslim Student Association. The cartoon, which was copied and spread around campus, portrays Horowitz, a Jewish man, as a hooked-nose Nazi hiding in a trash can [104].
Roots and cause of Middle east conflict
Pundits explain that the conflict in the middle east Arabs Vs Israel (that started with racist massacres on Jews accompanied with the slogan “Itbach al Yahud – Kill the Jews” [105] already in the 1920’s [106], through Hitler’s buddy [107] the Mufti Mohammad Amin al-Husayni is just another Arab Muslim intolerance, the plight of Israel – being a minority in a majority hostile middle east. [108] [109] [110] [111] [112] And even progressive, left wingers in Israel realize that Arab racism must go, and that “There will be no peace around here before Arabs view Jews as human beings.” [113], or as others have phrased it: Racism and Middle East Politics, As long as middle-eastern Arabs teach their children to hate Jews, there will be no lasting peace [114]. ‘Facts and Logic About the Middle East’ asks: Racism in the Islamic World How can peace prevail in the Middle East in the face of Islamic bigotry and hate? When will moderate Muslims speak out? [115], and the phenomenon of the new anti-Semitism which demonizes Jews and Israel alike, has fused itself with the “old” European anti Jewish bigotry [116]. Saddam Hussein’s “Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies” [117] who also led a racist [118] genocide campaign [119] against the Kurds, coincides with that in moments before his death, he shouted: ‘Palestine is Arab’, meaning only Arab. [120], as part of a culture of hatred, the racism that denies historic roots of the Jews to Israel [121].
The first recorded Arab attack on Jews in Palestine was already back in 1886 in Petach Tikva [122][123] [124] [125].
Regarding the racist expulsion of 850,000 to 900,000 Jews from Arab countries [126] [127] the ethnic cleansing of the Jews [128], the UN Watch Mar 19, 2008 has raised the importance of Historic truth in: Testimony at the UN – “Racism and Historical Truth: Jewish Refugees from Arab Lands” [129].
On anti-Jewish racism’s effect on clarity of the middle east, Interfaith Office Acknowledges (May 2008) Anti-Jewish Motifs and Stereotypes in Commentary About Arab-Israeli Conflict [130], concern about Carter’s pro-Arabism and veteran historian of Islam and the Middle East [131] & Bernard Lewis is concerned that the “Arab strain of racism, untruths and hatred against Jews and Israel is not only more virulent than its European counterpart, but is not counterbalanced by true scholarship or competing reason.” As a result, he believes, attitudes and beliefs “long discredited in the modernity of western countries take root with gullible, impressionable Middle Eastern audiences from a pre-modern culture.” [132].
There’s extensive research on ‘Palestinian Anti-Semitism’ [133], In its official media, the PA daily described: The Fable of the Holocaust [134], the JCPA elaborates About Anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Academics and how The Palestinian Authority’s academic anti-Semitism has built an extensive case against Jewish existence [135] This Palestinian racism is particularly dangerous because this hatred of Jews is portrayed as the will of Allah. [136]
The Arab-Palestinian racism of killing only Jews In Israel for the sole reason of being Jewish. they target every Jew, regardless of his or her individual political views, and they apologize when they accidentally kill a non-Jew (Arab), regardless of his political view. [137] [138]
Critics have raised the fact that ‘the notion that Palestinians, but not Jews, may live in Judea and Samaria is blatant “racism.” [139].
Rachel Neuwirth Wrote “Judenrein Palestine?” about Arabs forcing Israel to remove Jews from their historic Judea and asks: Why can’t Jews live in their historic homeland if there really is peace? After all, there are 1.2 million Arabs living as citizens of Israel in the one Jewish country in the world, while there are only a handful of Jews living in any of the 22 Arab countries. In fact, in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, not only is it illegal for Jews to be citizens, they are not even allowed to live there. Therefore, she proves, instead of Israel being the “apartheid state” in the region, it is the Arab world that is not only apartheid, but also racist and religiously exclusive” [140].
Pasko writes: That even before Hamas was elected to rule the Palestinian Authority, it was a known fact that the Arabs want “Palestine” to be a Judenrein (Jew-free) Arab-only state. [141].
Anti-Jewish by Israeli-Arabs
The worrying involvement of Israeli Arabs in terrorist attacks directed against Israeli Jews [142] [143], Among the brazened ones in 2008 are noted the bulldozer attacks [144], “He took the bulldozer, with which he fed his own wife and family, and used it to crush other families to death, simply for being Israeli Jews.”[145]. On July 7, 2008 a writer in Israel’s lefty paper Haaretz asks: If justifying the murder of innocents because they belong to a certain hated group is not abject racism, I’d like to know what is. [146].
Israeli-Arab leadership, Arab MK Ahmed Tibi: (the entire area) ‘Palestine Belongs to Arabs, Not Jews’ [147], on January 2008 Islamic Movement head in Israel was charged with incitement to racism, violence [148] and on August 2008 Police shut down offices of Islamic Movement branch suspected of aiding Hamas, He was later in court with incitement to violence and racism, over a fiery speech he gave in the Wadi Joz neighborhood, in which he accused Jews of using children’s blood to bake bread. [149].
It has bee noted for a while that Arab Knesset members such as Ahmed Tibi have turned racists against Jews [150].
In face of radical Arabs’ in Israel, such as Azmi Bishara toward terrorism, forming alliances with those attempting to annihilate Israel, a new term was coined: ‘Bish-Arabism’ , it could be defined as a radical and rapid shift among Israeli Arabs – especially their representatives in the Knesset – from relative moderation [151].
In Oct 2008, on Yom Kippur, an Arab driver drove dangerously wild into Jewish neighbourhoods causing clashes, Arabs heading back to their neighborhoods ran riot through Jewish areas of the city. Calling “Death to the Jews” and Allah hu akbar (”Allah is great”), the rioters vandalized hundreds of Jewish-owned shops and vehicles, and threw rocks at people on their way to or from Yom Kippur prayers. [152]
Anti-Asian
Some had the courage to speak out against the terrible treatment of South Asians in Saudi Arabia [153], in 2008 Asian immigrant are forced to clean mosques for ’skipping prayers’ Riyadh [154], Saudi Arabia courts: “Asian and African Witches Will be Hunted Down and Terminated”. The current witch hunt, aimed mostly at Indian and Africans, appears to be a symptom of the racism inherent in the Arab culture. For centuries, Arabs traded in African slaves, and such slavery continues today, with both African women and Slavic women from the former Soviet Union being forced into prostitution. [155], Amnesty charged on Saudi Arabia that Asian workers continue to suffer behind closed doors [156], from the book: ‘Race, Culture and Difference’ by James Donald, Ali Rattansi p 27: Arab racism is such that most Pakistanis would prefer to work in Britain than in Saudi Arabia for a higher income; racist humiliations. [157].
High volume of racism cases is recorded against Asians in Dubai, especially against Indians and other Asians, the situation is so bad that Even “Dubai for Visitors” publication had to write about it [158]. “Meet the slaves” in UAE, Mainly of Indian or Pakistani origins [159]. United Arab Emirates – Heaven for money, hell for Asian workers in the United Arab Emirates More than 10 million Asians work in the Emirates in quasi-slave [160].
Caste system
The Al Akhdam, a minority social group of a dark complexion in Yemen, or Yemen’s blacks, pejoratively called Al-Akhdam (servants) [161], has been subjected to racial segregation, extreme social practices of cruelty and violent socio-economic exclusion [162], discrimination [163] and oppression, the group form a kind of hereditary caste in Yemen [164].
Anti-African
Arab Racism against Black Africans [165] [166], Darfur is but one example of Arab racism toward non-Arabs within the broader Arab world [167]. In the New York Times June 5, 1988 about Libya’s leader: Qaddafi is bringing a truly racist crusade against Chad and Africa, Chad’s President, Hissen Habre, told [168]. blacks who live in Arab countries subject to racism, most Arabs refer to blacks as “Abed” which means “slave” in Arabic. [169]. Umarlee details it: “Ugly Black Women”, Perfect Arab Wives, and Matters of Race, Arab racism is not akin to American white racism. Let it be said that Arab racism is different from white (American) racism [170]. In an article in The Guardian 2008, titled ‘A paler shade of black’ a former Sudanese Arab described his growing up (by his family) as “superior” to blacks, that were referred to as “abd” (slave), yet when he moved to Saudi Arabia he found out that his Arabness didn’t measure up, he wasn’t Arab enough in Saudi Arabia’s racist society. [171] Some charge the Arab attitude on Darfur, ‘to the True Nature of the Twin Fascisms of Islamism and Pan-Arabism’ [172].
Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader uses racial epithet against Barack Obama in Nov 20, 2008, In a video, Ayman Zawahiri says the president-elect is ‘the direct opposite of honorable black Americans’ and says Obama, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice are ‘house Negroes. [173].
Eritreans in Egypt suffer from racism [174], in 2008 alone at least 20 Darfurian refugees (who tried to break free from Egypt’s oppression into democratic Israel) have already died at the hands of Egyptian forces [175].
Palestinian-Arab Racism: Secretary of State Rice has been the subject of some vicious racial attacks [176] including an anti-black Racist Rice Cartoon in Palestinian Authority’s controlled Press Al Quds ‘Black spinster’ label pinned on Condi Rice Palestinian media use racist terms including ‘colored dark skin lady’ [177] Condemned by Black Activists [178]. On September 18 2007, Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV labeled U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a “black snake.” [179].
Slavery & Arabism
It was ‘Pan-Arabism’ who authorized the enslavement of African Muslims in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states [180], and in Darfur, says an Arab human-rights activist: The chief culprit in this particular case seems to be pan-Arabism, the fascist movement that rose to power half a century ago through military coups [181]. In her book, Kola Boof wrote about slavery and Arabism in Sudan [182], The Anti Slavery Society found that: there is an ingrained psychology of racism or Arabism which deems the Dinka inferior [183].
Fundamentalist Islam and fanatical Arabism play a very important role in the slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide in Sudan, the situation in Mauritania is equally beset with conflict. The history and tradition of African enslavement by Arabized moors is old and has persisted to the present day [184].
On Mauritania, The American Anti-Slavery Group reported, Slavery has been a part of Mauritanian society for centuries. In fact, today the majority of the country’s population is comprised of slaves or former slaves. [185].
Persian Ahreeman X wrote about: the High Price that his ancestors paid to free Iran from Pan Arabist (Islamic) Slavery after 222 years of colonialism by Arabo-Muslim Oppressors. [186]
Genocide in Sudan
Sudanese Islamist dictator Omar el-Bashir, the Arabist Islamist regime that displaced over 5 million in southern Sudan. [187].
In ‘Genocide in Darfur’ by (by Samuel Totten, Eric Markusen) pg. 30, it lays out the background that led to the current calamity, racist pan-Arabism by Libya’s Arab supremacist legion action for Arab expansion in Chad in 1987, and that: Libya was not orchestrating a simple border raid on a poor country; it was pursuing a new strategy of pan-Arabism, couched in an emotionally charged ideology [188].
The Christian Science Monitor 2004 affirms that Racism is at root of Sudan’s Darfur crisis [189], a writer at RaceandHistory.com calls it ‘Arab Racism And Imperialism In Sudan’ [190], Darfur crisis linked to Arab racism, Slavery [191]. and this genocide has been described as an example of Arab racism at its worst [192]. Sudanese decry the “Apology of racism”, that some Sudanese people of Arabic origin consider themselves superior than the indigenous Sudanese [193]. Der Spiegel writes about the Janjaweed: Sudan’s War within a War – regime that uses tribal conflicts and Arab racism [194]. Pundits of Sudan write about “Arab racism, Islamic bigotry and discriminatory practices are the most divisive issues in the Sudan” and its terrible effect, crimes on non-Arab Sudanese [195].
Arabism = violence!
Arabism & Violence: Dictatorship, Oppression, War, Terrorism
The front runners of Pan-Arabism, brutal tyrants and waged large scale wars, such as Egypt’s Nasser [196], Iraq’s Saddam Hussein [197], Syria’s Assad (on Lebanon [198] [199] [200] and on it’s own people [201] [202] like the Hama massacre [203] [204] and the dictator in Sudan Al Bashir [205] [206].
The fact that all of those entities that call themselves “Arab states” are governed by dictatorships is proof that what they stand for is wrong. These gangster-like regimes collaborate with each other in oppressing their own people, using deadly force and fear tactics while pushing hateful agendas. They delude themselves in thinking they can build free markets and vibrant economies while their people still suffer oppression and lack basic freedoms. Rather each country should abandon Arabism and look inward for a definition of itself. [207].
Pan-Arabists and Islamists ends range from merely oppressive to genocidal [208].
E. Karsh: Pan-Arabism causes conflict in the middle east [209].
Farid Alghadry of the Reform Party of Syria called for the end of the pan- Arabist Baathist oppression. “Only Kurds can decide their own faith,” he declared. [210]
Amir Taheri on Iraq (2003) Iraq’s democrats and liberals see pan-Arabism as a barrier to democratization. [211]
An Arab writer in GulfNews: Even Pan-Arabism and nationalism have become empty of any meaning of unification, and are being used for conflicts with a neighbouring Muslim or Arab country [212]
The linkage to terror
Protecting terrorism, Pan-Arabism: the inhuman progenitor of Islamic Terrorism [213]. “Terror was used by the Arabs against the Jews in the Land of Israel since the dawn of Zionism.” [214].
An Arabist group called Jamiat-e Dawa el al Qurani Wasouna. The J.D.Q., as it is known by American intelligence, is suspected of having links to both the Saudi and Kuwaiti governments [215]
Osama bin Laden is in fact the latest and quintessential product of pan-Arabism [216]
Paul Berman in an article: “The Philosopher of Islamic Terror” [2003]: Qutb is not shallow. Qutb is deep. In the Shade of the Qur’an is, in its fashion, a masterwork… The Islamists and the Pan-Arabists could be compared, in these ambitions, with the Italian Fascists of Mussolini’s time [217] and an analyzer on NRO: Baathism (pan-Arabism and Arab supremacism) is largely a spent force but its remnants have merged both with bin Ladenism [218].
Palestinian Fatah Leader, School Books Supports Terrorism Against US in Iraq, quote: “We [however,] take pride in this [Arab nationalist] language because we are the authentic Arabs who believe in our Arabism, our faith, our cause” [219]
In January 2009, a new Islamic Arab terror group was established in Lebanon, Mohammad Ali Al Husseini, Lebanon’s Arab Islamic Council Secretary-General, announced about the “resistance” movement [220] under a supremacist flag of “Arabism”, vowed to go against Israel, they oppose Hezbollah as it gets its orders from (non Arab) Iranians [221] they even named a rocket as Uroubua – Arabism [222].
