| Activist blasts Muslims, Arabs over Darfur stance |
| 2007-02-20 |
| A human rights activist from Darfur yesterday blasted the Arab and Muslim world for what he described as its hypocritical stand on the troubled region in Sudan. He said Muslims from the rest of the world should be ashamed of their indifference towards fellow Muslims being persecuted in Darfur. Ironically, it is the Jews and Americans who are supporting the 'innocent Muslims being targeted' in the region and providing food and shelter to nearly 250,000 Darfur refugees who have fled to neighboring Chad, said Mohamed Adam Yahya. Yahya is the founder and executive director of the US-based ‘Damanga Coalition for Freedom and Democracy’, a body committed to preserving human rights and ethnic communities in Darfur. |

| #5 c'mon. arabs can't be outraged about EVERYTHING y'know. and concern for plight of black people (even though they're muslim) in africa takes a decidedly lower priority than Jew hatred. |

| #4 The only slavery we care about is the one where we get to feel guilty for Republican racism. (You know, the slavery in the South we supported as Copperheads and continue to support by muslims as Copperheads.) |

| #1 Thats is good: about time anyone began to point the indifference of Muslims when anyone not belkonging to the master race is the victim of abuse. Because of its attitude towards slavery it is Africa (and between African-Americans) where Islam is most vulmnearble. Once Africa falls the whole house of cards will follow. |
