Arab Racism and Realism
Because Islam claims to to be against
any form of racism, Arab racism is not discussed as a motive behind
terrorism, which is largely supported by wealthy Arab nations. Racism
is a taboo subject in the West too other than as another word for
evil, so the foreign policy of the West is missing a rational
understanding in dealing with terrorism and the problems of the
middle-east. Interestingly Israel is about the only nation in the
world to openly declare itself devoted to an ethnically chosen
people, yet even with this, an understanding of Israeli racism is missing, at least openly, in the policy toward Israel.
Western dominance over Arabs in the
past 100 years or so has not gone unnoticed by the Arabs, who highly resent it, although
the Arabs may not be conscious of their own racism because it is
supposedly forbidden in Islam. And the competition between Persian
Shiite Islam and Arab Sunni Islam has a lot to do with racial
and ethnic differences, and is not merely differences in religious
interpretation.
If this is the reality, and I think it
is, how does this biological-oriented knowledge relate to foreign
policy in the middle-east? Since the preference for group-selection
is a basic part of real human nature, a policy of not meddling in the
affairs of the Arabs would make sense, as long as they do not try to
create another empire beyond their borders. The same applies to Israel and its will to power and disguised racism.
Then, with a realistic foreign policy
the West could get on with looking at the real motivations behind its
own existence, which are no less biological than the Arabs or the
Jews. The ethnopluralism of ethnostates written about here
needs to be considered, which could be conservatively accommodated (without radical revolution) in
the constitutional separation of powers and states in the U. S.. It's long-term
evolution and survival that is being mismanaged, even in what now passes for realism.
