Another UN Success Story

In the Sudan Islamists have raped 100 women in an attack on the Christian south.

Now the UN is involved in the Sudan, trying to broker a ceasefire in the civil war. A UN official who was in Rwanda (the site of another genocidal success story) has declared himself "totally shocked" at the horror of the ethnic cleansing in Sudan. The UN's biggest concern? Not the lives lost or the evilness of the actions in Sudan. No, they are more concerned that the genocide may undermine the peace talks as they are coming to an end.

So it's ok to murder, maim and rape so long as it doesn't affect the talks? What kind of inane, perverted policy is that?

Why do Sudanese Christians have fewer human rights than anyone else? Is murder not the ultimate deprivation of human rights? Is not systematic terroristic rape not one of the worst violations of human rights? Why does the UN go out of its way to protect the "rights" of oppressors, murderers and thugs, while ignoring those of the Christians?

I'm starting to think that it is a religious bias. The UN seems to be enamored with protecting the rights of Muslims at the expense of everyone else.

In very few places around the world are the Muslims an oppressed minority, denied their basic human rights. In far more places they are the oppressive majority.

Saudi Arabia. Iran. Sudan. Yemen. Egypt. Tunisia. The West Bank and Gaza Strip. Syria. The list goes on of places in which the Muslims are systematically violating rights and oppressing the people.

Yet all that anyone ever wants to talk about is the Israelis building a fence around their territory. We talk about the indignities of profiling. We talk about the horrors of there being restrictions on the numbers allowed on the Temple Mount. We talk about the prisoners - the people who violated the law and are paying society's price for having done so.

Ignored are the Christians of Sudan, Tunisia, or Iran. Ignored is the hatred that spews forth from Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Indonesia. Ignored is the fact, undisputed by the Muslims, that we are engaged in a war of survival for Christianity and Western culture.

These are all inconvenient nuisances to the moral relativists. These are all points to be brushed aside as irrelevant by the appeasement crowd. These are all lies to the people who believe mulitculturalists who insist that we simply don't understand.

But we do understand. Every person with a well grounded moral compass understands. Oh, we might want to believe to siren's song of the peace-through-surrender crowd, but we innately know better. There can be no peace with a group that only seeks your death. None.

The UN still hasn't figured this out yet. The UN still believes that words are the way. In their twisted thinking, a peace agreement that will be violated almost as soon as it is signed is more important than protecting the dignity of the hundreds of women who are raped or gangraped every day by the very people with which Annan's group is negotiating.

A peace agreement with the Sudanese will be like Oslo with the Palestinians. The words are golden; the actions irrelevant. So believes the peace-at-any-cost crowd.

Their song is sweet and their Kool-Aid tart. Everyday fewer and fewer people seem to be able to resist the temptations of their ways.

I fear the day when they finally hold reign over the rest of us. It will be a dark, surrenderous day indeed.
