toward the West by radical Islam, but also by the liberal elites of Western societies as well, who appear to perversely loathe their own people and their own culture.On Sep 8 2001, the UN held a conference in Durban, under theheading: “The United Nations Conference Against Racism,Racial Intolerance And Xenophobia.” America, aware of theimpending anti-Western hate mongering, declined to join them, but the best of the rest of the West were arrayed in force.America’s suspicion turned out to be remarkably prescient. The event turned into a hatefest.The Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was introduced to rapturous applause as: “The leader of the most democratic country in the world” whilst Robert Mugabe, the altogether barmyPresident of Zimbabwe, taking a well-earned rest from the persecution of his white and black countrymen, was similarly cheered to the rafters in his denunciation of the whiteimperialist oppressor; his ovation only surpassed by that offered up for the Syrian PrimeMinister’s denial of the Holocaust.Britain’s Tony Blair, France’s Lionel Jospin, Canada’s Jean Chretien, and anaesthetically displeasing assortment of Europe’s great and good, beat their collective breasts in time with the rhythmic thudding of the anti-racist bongo drums, offering nocounter-arguments such as the ethnic cleansing of whites from Zimbabwe, or theimprisoning of AIDS victims in the Cuban “socialist paradise,” choosing instead to raisetheir soft, bruised hands aloft and proclaim
“Yes, you are correct. We are white, we areWestern and we are
GUILTY!
“
The UN’s Mary Robinson declared the event a great success. The oppressors and theoppressed packed their bags, paused briefly at the airport to exchange a little more brown hatred for white guilt, and went home. Forty-eight hours later, Muslim terroristsflew three hijacked aircraft into the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, thus ensuringcelebrations all over the non-Western world, indeed even within the West itself, whereMuslims danced in the streets and liberal Western intellectuals crowed that America hadfinally been given the bloody nose she so manifestly deserved. No doubt those noted anti-racists, Mugabe and Castro, danced until dawn, such vitrioland hatred for the first world from the third being nothing new. But even with 9/11 ontop of the obscene appeasement in Durban, our liberal elites still refused to admit tothemselves that their culture was any better than that of Islam’s. Nothing personifiesthis more than the controversy caused by the remarks made by (the then) Italian PrimeMinister, Silvio Berlusconi, who, in the wake of the 9/11 Islamic terrorist outrages,stated:
“We must be aware of the superiority of our civilisation, a system that has guaranteed well-being, respect for human rights, and — in contrast with Islamic countries — respect for religious and political rights.”
Such a statement, at such a time, should not have been controversial. After all, howcould Western Civilisation possibly be held as the moral and cultural equivalent of Islam — a religious and
political
ideology that orchestrated and celebrated theindiscriminate slaughter of innocent men, women and children in the name of Allah?
