The Sudanese Animists and Christians will soon secede from the artificial "Arab" country of Sudan. I don't see anything Arab coming out of Sudan anyway. They are all blacks to begin with, and they live in Africa. A tiny Muslim minority in the North has ruled brutally over the Animists and Christians in the South, and the country has been unstable since its independence from fucking English who never left a place without leaving behind them mass massacres, genocidal regimes, partitioned countries and people - Just look around the globe: Sudan, Nigeria, India, Israel-Palestine....
After decades of civil war, the Southern Sudanese will soon have their own country: They just can't wait to detach themselves from the Muslim "Arab" fuck that has been ruling them for decades.
Many countries in the "fallacies" that call themselves Arab countries and Arab world should do the same - Egypt for one should be broken down- The Copts should have their own country - They are the original culture and people of Pharaonic Egypt, long before the conquering Islamic Arab hordes came.
Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran should be trimmed of the Kurdish regions they colonized after World War I. Instead of granting the Kurdish people - who are distinct in their language, civilization, ethnicity, and the mountain geography they have occupied for millennia - their independence, the Kurds were scattered across four different Arab and Muslim countries that have since occupied, colonized, and brutalized them. Kurdistan should be restored and unified into the Kurdish people homeland. What would remain of Iraq after the Kurdish secession, should be further split into a Sunni northwest and a Shiite southeast.
Algeria should be split into two - the Muslim Arabs of the seacoast, and the original Berbers - Kabyles - Amazigh of the east and southern mountains. Lebanon should be fractured into as many tiny cantons as there are religious minorities, each ruling itself in a tiny geographic space - a la Switzerland - and then if they wish, they can federate in some fashion, instead of this total failure of a country that Lebanon is today, based as it is on an untenable formula of coexistence between Muslim and Christian.
Syria - this pathetic artificial country created by the French from an assortment of unrelated cities separated by large deserts - should also be broken down. Along the Mediterranean, the Alawites should form their own canton, and if they so choose, federate with the Lebanese cantons. In the north, Aleppo should return to its Turkish-Caucasian origins, with Syria reduced to its remaining three Sunni cities of Damascus, Hama and Homs. This smaller Syria may federate with the Sunni Iraqi canton because they represent together a continuum of Sunni desert Arabs.
Coexistence does not work, neither between religious systems, nor does it work for that matter between different ethnic or linguistic groups unless religious identities or subnational identities are eliminated from the start. A religious ideology is always absolutely based on a racist supremacist premise: "I have the truth, and the other guy does not. God gave
me the exclusive truth." That is how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and the millions of offshoots they have spawned, that is how they all define themselves. How can they then accept the other? The moment they accept the other as holder of some truth, then their own identity breaks down. There is an inevitability to the self-destruction of religious systems the moment they embrace tolerance and acceptance, which leads societies like these to either fall into radical religious ideologies (to preserve the status quo) or to liberalize into tolerant and open - and therefore anti-religious - societies. There is no middle ground. Show me one heterogeneous, pluralistic, democratic country and society that has not ended up discarding religion or sub-nationalisms in order to preserve itself. They just don't exist. The only two alternatives that exist are: Either secular at relative peace (Switzerland, US), or deeply religious at war (e.g. Lebanon, Israel, many Arab countries).
I salute the partition of Sudan and urge the world to support repeating the Sudanese experience elsewhere, without waiting for bloodshed, civil wars, massacres, and the like. Why not take a proactive, preemptive approach to these chronic and predictable crises? Why not propose the partition of Lebanon, Egypt, etc. The independence of Corsica from France, etc. Everywhere there is a population difference (linguistic, religious, ethnic, etc.), a political and geographic line should follow. This will avert future wars, genocides, massacres....
And to those criminal left-wingers in the West who find these ideas of breaking up Arab countries repugnant - and I am thinking of Robert Fisk and his ilk - you just broke Serbia apart to give the fucked up Islamic shithole called Kosovo its independence. Europe itself is littered with the remnants of thousands of year of bloody and gory mayhem, or religious wars, of brutal and racist empires and so on. Just look at Corsica, Luxemburg, Belgium, and the Great Albion itself - "Great" fucking Britain - which is nothing more than a forced amalgam of invaders and conquered minorities - Angles and Saxons (of Nazi German descent), Normans (the Scandinavian Brutes who had barely come down the trees and embarked on their plunder and mayhem) etc... lording it over the indigenous Celts, Scots, Welsh and Irish.... And to which the new conquerors - Muslims - are already adding their stamp. Yes, if you repress people long enough by blood and the sword, they finally start believing in the oppressor as their savior - a case of Stockholm Syndrome on a supranational scale.
Break them up, I say. Autonomy, self-government, independence, self-rule, cantonization, emancipation...are all good words and good works.
