Peace Be Unto Those Who Follow Right Guidance.
Although I have been asked to perform an Islamic counter-racist analysis of the recent UN Conference on Racism in Geneva, work commitments have made finding the time to carry out an in-depth analysis difficult. Insha'Allah [God-Willing], I will deal with this in due course.
For the time being, I suggest interested readers check out the following article by Kali Akuno, National Organizer for the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM). MXGM is a mass organization struggling for the self-determination of New Afrikan people within the boundaries of the U.S.
Preserving Inequality: Analyzing Obama's Boycott of the Durban Review Conference
Two brief comments on sections of the article:
The Obama administrations maneuvering to squash all principled positions on these issues are more than a mere act of cowardice. Rather, it demonstrates that the Obama administration has no fundamental intention of breaking with the strategic orientation of its predecessors in regards to eliminating the structural pillars of racism that shape the U.S. ?project? and the modern capitalist world-system itself.
The "world-system", i.e. contemporary globally-operating system, is Racism (White Supremacy), not capitalism. (See The World System: Capitalism or WS/R?, Counter-Racist Analysis of a Race-First White Marxist, The Colour of Money.)
Akuno refers to Israel as a "Zionist settler-colonial project" and "a European settler-project." This is correct. (See Judaism, Zionism and White Supremacy (Racism).)
