The Cost Of Belief
(link) In Arab and Muslim countries a massacre is happening. A genocide protected by the silence of the world. A genocide protected by a deception that is perhaps unparalleled in the history of mankind.
Any other article beginning like this would now explain how Israel, George Bush and The West are entirely to blame, but this article, and figures given here (link) paints a different picture.
The truth.

The blood of Arabs/Muslims on the hands of the Jews and the West since the end of World War 2 can be summarised as follows:
Afghanistan: Up to 10,000.
Iraq: It is estimated that about 100,000 people have been killed since the coalition forces took control in Iraq. Many would say this is predominantly Shi'ite killing Sunni and Sunni killing Shi'ite, but lets not quibble. It’s happening on our watch so we’ll add this to the Israeli/Western totals.
Iraq summary: 100,000
Israel: 65,000 Arabs Killed.
Lebanon: In the civil war between 1975 and 1990 the highest estimates claim that Israeli activities were the cause of around 18,000 deaths.
The Arab/Muslim blood on the hands of the Arabs And Islamic world, and other conflicts in which this religion played a role since the end of World War 2:
Algeria: 100,000 victims in the civil war.
Sudan: 2.6 million to 3 million killed.
Afghanistan: Excluding deaths in the Afghan Russian war, 1,000,000 killed.
Somalia: 400,000 to 550,000 victims in the civil war.
Bangladesh: This country aspired to gain independence from Pakistan. Pakistan reacted with a military invasion that caused mass destruction. It was not a war, it was a massacre. One to two million people were systematically liquidated in 1971. Some researchers define the events of that year in Bangladesh as one of the three greatest genocides in history (after the Holocaust and the Ruanda genocide).
Bangladesh summary: 1.4 million to 2 million.
Chad: Half of the population of Chad are Muslims: In various civil wars 30,000 civilians have been killed.
Indonesia: The biggest Muslim state in the world competes with Bangladesh for the dubious title of ‘The biggest massacre since the Holocaust’ The accepted estimate talks of as many as 400 thousand Indonesians killed in the years 1965-1966, although stricter estimates claim the number is higher. 400,000 killed, with an additional 100,000 to 200,000 in East Timor.
Iraq: Most of the destruction of the last two decades was the doing of Saddam Hussein. This is another case of a regime that caused the deaths of millions. Nonstop death. One of the highpoints was during the Iran-Iraq war, in the conflict over the Shat El Arab River, the river that is created by the convergence of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This was a conflict that led to nothing but large scale destruction and mass killing. Estimates are between 450,000 and 650,000 Iraqis, and between 450,000 and 970,000 Iranians.
Waves of purges, some politically motivated (opposition), some ethnic ( the Kurdish minority) and some religiously motivated (the ruling Suni minority against the Shiite majority), yielded an astounding number of victims. Estimates vary from one million, according to local sources, to a quarter million, according to Human Rights Watch. Other international organizations quote an estimate of about half a million.
In the years 1991 - 1992 there was a Shiite uprising in Iraq. There are contradictory estimates about the number of victims. The numbers vary from 40,000 to 200,000. In addition to the Iraqis that were slaughtered one must add the Kurds. During Saddam Hussein’s reign, between 200,000 to 300,000 of them were killed in a genocide that continued all through the 1980’s and the 1990’s.
Over half a million more Iraqis died from diseases because of the shortage of medicine, which was the result of sanctions imposed after the first Gulf War. Today it is clear that this was a continuation of the genocide perpetrated by Saddam on his own people. He could have purchased medicine, he had enough money to buy food and to build hospitals for all the children of Iraq, but Saddam preferred to build palaces and to distribute franchises to many in the west and in Arab states. This issue is being exposed in the corruption of the UN’s ‘Oil for Food’ project.
Iraq Summary: 1.54 million to 2 million victims.
Iran Summary: 450,000 to 970,000 victims.
Kashmir: 60,000 deaths in fighting with Hindus.
Kurdistan: 30,000 fighting the Turks.
Lebanon: 130,000 deaths in the civil war. (This figure excludes deaths in fighting against the Israeli army.)
Nigeria: Several thousand lives have been lost in fighting between Muslims and Christians in the north of the country. Let’s assume a low estimate of 1000.
Philippines: In fighting with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front it is estimated that 120,000 deaths have occurred.
Thailand: Deaths from the Muslim insurgency have accounted for about 2000 deaths since 2004.
Yemen: In the civil war that took place in Yemen from 1962 to 1970, with Egyptian and Saudi involvement, 100,000 to 150,000 Yemenites were killed, and more than a thousand Egyptians and a thousand Saudis.
Jordan: 1970 to 1971 the Black September riots took place In the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan. King Hussein was fed up of the Palestians use of the country and their threatened to take control of it. The confrontation, mainly a massacre in the refugee camps, took thousands of lives. Estimate: 10,000
Syria: Hafez Assad’s systematic persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood ended in the 1982 massacre in the city of Hama, costing the lives of about 20,000 people.
Iran: Thousands were killed in the beginning of the Humeini Revolution. The precise number is unknown, but is somewhere between thousands and tens of thousands. The Kurds also suffered at the hands of Iran, and about 10,000 of them were murdered there. Estimated total 20,000
Turkey: About 20,000 Kurds were killed by Turkey as part of the conflict there.
Zanzibar: In the early 1960’s the island was granted independence, but only for a short time. At first, the Arabs were in power, but a black group, made up mainly of Muslims, slaughtered the Arab group, also Muslim, in 1964. The estimates are that 5,000 to 17,000 were killed.
Grand Totals
The wicked imperial West: 200,000
The religion of peace: 10,000,000
President George Bush, the Neocons, the USA, Tony Blair, the West, Israel etc. aren't doing a very good job of living up to their reputations with the left are they.
(This post is taking a pop at Islam, but it's not meant to single out this faith. The main target is ignorance, stupidity, and the uncritical adoption of man made beliefs. Hitler, Stalin, and Pope Urban II could equally have found a place in a similar article.)
