Al-Bashir explains it all

My nominee for the Islamic Human Rights Commission’s “Islamophobia Award”– Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir– has explained why some people are calling for UN troops to be sent to Darfur. As if we didn’t know.

“It is very clear there is a plan to redraw the region,” especially after the invasion of Iraq, [al-Bashir] told a news conference on the sidelines of a ministerial U.N. General Assembly session.

“The main purpose is the security of Israel. Any state in the region should be weakened, dismembered in order to protect the Israelis, to guarantee the Israeli security,” he said.

Asked about Sunday’s Darfur peace rallies from Rwanda to San Francisco, Bashir said they were “invariably organised by Zionist Jewish organisations.”

Yes, those Zionist Jewish organizations in Rwanda have got their grips on that country, haven’t they?
