Why is it that -- yet again -- another Arab League member is massacring its minority populations? Why is the Western media reluctant to identify the religion and ethnicity of the mass murderers and rapists?

ask mWhat bothers me more about the media coverage of Darfur is its lack of historic context -Darfur is but one example of Arab racism toward non-Arabs within the broader "Arab world." The Darfur genocide, I believe, must be viewed not solely as a case of an Islamic jihad, but also as a case of Arab racism and should be seen as parallel to Saddam Hussein's genocide against Kurds and the Algerian government's repression of the Kaybles.
Remember: both the Kurds and Kabyles are primarily Sunni Muslims, at least in a nominal sense. I don't mean to downplay the Islamic jihad aspect; however, I think that we cannot understand the violence in Darfur (and Iraq, for that matter) without examining the persistence of intra-Muslim ethnic conflict in the region and Arab racism.

The Islamic Jihad wants control in that region to worship Islam as the only religion. Massacring innocent people doesn't display a religion. It only implies that it is evil.
I think about these people almost everyday. We all need to pray for these people.
The reason the Western media down-plays the news from that region, is because there is not much the people of this region can give to us in return, Sad and disgusting, but this happens constantly and it makes me sick to my stomach.
God will remember!

Because the news media don't want us to help any more people. They don't want us to help the Afganistan or Iraq people either.
