“RIOTS LEAVE SCORES DEAD IN NIGERIA

“By D’Arcy Doran, .c The Associated Press [no URL address was given — article was linked on the AOL sign-on screen]

“KADUNA, Nigeria (Nov. 22) - Christian youths retaliated against Muslims in this northern city Friday in the third day of riots triggered by a newspaper article about the Miss World pageant. Red Cross officials said about 100 had died and 500 were seriously injured in the violence.

“Beauty pageant spokeswoman Stella Din said organizers were ‘saddened’ by the deaths but would not cancel the event, scheduled for Dec. 7 in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, some 225 miles southwest of Kaduna.

” ‘The show definitely will go on,’ she told reporters in Abuja.

“Sporadic gunshots and shouting could be heard in the northern city of Kaduna, which has seen the fiercest fighting. Angry mobs have stabbed and set fire to bystanders and rampaged through streets. At least four churches have been destroyed by fire.

“The violence began Wednesday, when the Kaduna office of ThisDay newspaper was torched after the paper published an article questioning Muslim objections to the pageant. The article, published Saturday, suggested the prophet Muhammad would have chosen a wife among the contestants.

“The newspaper ran a brief front-page apology Monday and a longer retraction on Thursday.

“On Friday, plumes of black smoke rose above this tense, religiously mixed city of several million people and authorities extended a round-the-clock curfew - although many ignored the order.

“Young Muslim men shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar,’ or ‘God is great,’ ignited makeshift barricades of tires and garbage. Others chanted, ‘Down with beauty’ and ‘Miss World is sin.’

“In neighborhoods dominated by minority Christians, witnesses said youths smashed windows and set fires in mosques used by the ethnic Hausa and Fulani Muslims who dominate Kaduna.

“Fearful residents sought protection at police stations and military bases.

” ‘The soldiers have been very helpful, giving us bandages and first aid. Everyone is here - Muslims, Christians and pagan. We are all afraid of going home,’ said Habiba Ibrahim, who spent the night in the city’s defense academy near the government clinic where she works. ‘Only God knows when this will end.’

“The bodies of those slain in the streets were taken by Red Cross workers and other volunteers to mortuaries. It was not clear exactly how many were killed.

“Nigerian Red Cross officials reported about 100 dead by Friday morning, said George Bennet, head of the International Federation of the Red Cross delegation. He stressed an exact figure was impossible to confirm.

“Other Red Cross officials said Friday that more than 500 people had been injured.

“Previous riots in Kaduna, a predominantly Muslim city with a sizable Christian minority, have escalated into religious battles that killed hundreds since civilian government replaced military rule in 1999.

“Islamist groups have warned for months that they would protest the pageant, prompting organizers to postpone the finale until after the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“Muslim groups say the pageant promotes promiscuity and indecency.

“In the article that prompted the spasm of violence in Kaduna, ThisDay writer Isioma Daniel said, ‘What would Muhammad think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from among them.’

“Security forces patrolled other major cities Friday, including the northern trading hub of Kano, where Muslim women peacefully protested.

” ’ We are calling on the government to stop Miss World, this show of shame. For women to expose herself to men other than their husbands is forbidden,’ said one of the protesters, Hadiza Usman.

“Miss World organizers insist contestants have respected conservative Muslim values by dressing conservatively.

“The pageant also caused controversy elsewhere; at least five contestants are boycotting it to protest judgments in Nigeria’s Islamic courts that condemned several women to death by stoning for getting pregnant while unmarried.

“Contestants from Costa Rica, Denmark, Switzerland, South Africa and Panama stayed away.

“Nigeria’s government insists none of the judgments will be carried out, although it has refused to intervene directly with the Islamic court system.

“Others chanted, ‘Down with beauty.’”

That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? (And fits nicely with my new post on “The Breakdown of Western Form” http://www.counterrevolution.net/vfr/archives/001003.html.)

Why do you focus *only* on the bad aspects of multiculturalism rather than the benefits it brings? I enjoy reveling in the cultures of others. Being reduced to a member of a minority doesn’t scare most white Americans. And even if that should happen, white Americans will still be the largest minority for some time into the future. Hispanics, blacks and Asians will be far smaller minorities in the overall tally. Everyone’s a member of *some* kind of minority. Erosion of privilege is not justification for diminishing the rights of others. Moreover, other cultures (non-Western) have had their folkways changed quite efficiently by western influcence (and not necessarily for the better) without the need for whites to physically take up residence with in their borders.

Mr Weaver, if you do indeed revel in the culture of others you should seek to be more protective of those cultures. Do you enjoy French culture? Then you should be disappointed if the French undermine the existence of their own distinctive culture by adopting large scale foreign immigration and multiculturalism. The same with British culture, Swedish culture and so on. Or do you think these cultures can survive without the French, British and Swedes being a comfortable majority in their own countries?

Is it now really an immoral privilege for an ethnic group to remain a majority in the country that they themselves founded. Does it really offend against the rights of others who exist only as potential immigrants? This is a theory of rights which makes it impossible for any nation to maintain its own existence.

Doug Weaver, are you familiar with the blog site “Gene Expression”? In view of certain conclusions drawn in a blog entry posted on that site yesterday by “Godless Capitalist” (who is not white, by the way), can you explain why the traditional ethnicities in this country (the prevailing mix before the Ted Kennedy Immigration Holocaust bill of 1965) ought to favor the admission of additional Blacks and Hispanics in numbers big enough to make them a majority and whites a minority?

“Gene Expression” is at www.gnxp.blogspot.com . The blog entry in question is posted with the entries for Saturday, Nov. 23rd, and is the second entry down, by “Godless,” entitled, “Update on Blacks, Hispanics, and Crime.”

You may know the web-site which Godless Capitalist mentions, “La Griffe du Lion” (“The Lion’s Claw”). If not, and if you’re mathematically inclined, it’s very much worth checking out, in regard to many demographics-related, ethnicity-related, and therefore immigration-related, sociological issues. It’s at www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com .

Excuse me — for the web-site “La Griffe du Lion,” change the URL address which I gave to the following:

The Christian majority in what is now known as Turkey appear to have reveled in the culture of Islam, and we know what happened to them by reading Mr. Auster’s article at http://www.counterrevolution.net/vfr/archives/001004.html.

Doug Weaver, whites are now a minority in California, our most heavily-populated state, and are headed toward minority status in yet other states unless something is done to reverse certain trends. Whites are a minority in a number of big cities. Karl Rove’s and President Bush’s policy of open borders without regard to numbers of immigrants or their national origins pushes things further in the direction of ultimate minority status for whites in America.

Please read this article,

http://www.vdare.com/francis/south_africa.htm ,

then explain why whites in this country should wish minority status for themselves.

Mr. Doug Weaver, Kevin Michael Grace, in an article entitled “Breakthrough in Canada!” (URL below), concludes with the following comment:

“Yet valuable as [excessive-incompatible-immigration critics] Stoffman, Francis and Collacott are, there is something missing. Something more important than all their arguments put together.

“It is this: Even if it could be proven that Canadian immigration policy worked to the economic benefit of all Canadians (and not just to the immigrants themselves and rich consumers), even if [Canadian] refugee policy was not a threat to Canadian and American security, this would still not justify the transformation of Canadian society.

“Canadians have never been asked if they desire a non-white Canada. If asked, they would say: No.”

Mr. Weaver, do you agree with Mr. Grace that populations should be permitted to vote on whether or not they wish their white country (or their brown, or yellow, or red, or black, or whatever, country) to be racially/ethnically transformed, before politicians impose such a drastic change upon them?

You say you revel in being exposed to multiple cultures. So do I. So does nearly everyone. That’s called “foreign travel.” It’s been an essential part of mind-broadening education — for those who could afford it — ever since civilization began. It has exactly this to do with what’s being discussed in the immigration debate: NOTHING.

Here’s the Kevin Michael Grace article:

http://www.vdare.com/misc/grace_breakthrough.htm

Unadorned provides a succinct, effective debunking of the vacuous lie, “I revel in other cultures”: travel.

I am not calling those that use the slogan liars. Some that use the slogan don’t realize it is a lie.

Mr. Doug Weaver, were the multi-culti pipe-dreams of some Belgian bureaucrats worth inflicting this sort of crap on that country? (See article below.) Notice that nothing — NOTHING — will prevent an Arab or Muslim majority from evolving in Belgium (total population only one-and-a-half times New York City’s) unless there are drastic curtailments of multi-culti-excessive-incompatible-immigration there, curtailments that have to be made NOW, before Muslims gain enough partial political clout to prevent it. In other words, unless there is some sort of political campaign over there NOW, aiming at drastic yet common-sense immigration reforms [of the type which got Haider in Austia labeled a Nazi and forced his resignation after he was DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED], Belgium as we know it is doomed, likely along with Holland, Denmark, Austria, and other countries — including perhaps our own — which will fall like dominoes … all so that you and your wife can eat good cous-cous without having to pay the price of a plane ticket.

(Mr. Abe Foxman: please read this article. I read recently where Islam is projected to be the majority religion in Belgium’s neighboring country of Holland by the year 2015 or 2020 I think it said. Where Holland goes, others most assuredly can and will follow. The Muslim populations of Berlin, Germany, and of our own states of Michigan and New Jersey for that matter, are burgeoning thanks to the immigration policies you and your friend Mr. Morris Dees fight tooth-and-nail to maintain. I assume you’re aware of the reports in the newspapers of growing Muslim political influence in this country. If a man in your position can be aware of these sorts of goings-on brought on by excessive incompatible immigration and still not publicly oppose it you need to have your head examined. Ditto those moneyed Jewish individuals who are your behind-the-scenes support.)

“Handsome and smooth-talking, Abou Jahjah advocates a form of separatist apartheid for Belgium’s 400,000 Muslims, demanding segregated schools, an end to ‘Flemish cultural terrorism’ and recognition of Arabic as a fourth official language after Dutch, French and German.”
