1. ZIONIST ISRAEL AT 60 - A COLONIAL-SETTLER STATE?
[By Dr. Mohamed Elmasry]
===========================================================================
Next week Zionists the world over will celebrate the 60th anniversary of
the establishment of a state-for-Jews-only in Palestine.
But "Israel, A Colonial-Settler State?" is the question posed by the title
of Prof. Maxime Rodinson's 1973 book, which answers this crucial question
in the affirmative.
Rodinson, a renowned French historian and sociologist who taught at the
Sorbonne, died in 2004 at age 89. His obituary in the British newspaper,
The Guardian, said of his life and accomplishments: "In 1967, on the eve
of
the six-day war, Rodinson became well known in France when he expressed a
certain reticence about Israel, despite himself being Jewish. He had
always
been suspicious of Zionism and considered those who expressed enthusiasm
for Israel were indulging in a belated form of colonialism."
Rodinson himself wrote: "The Jews attracted by Zionism emigrated to
Palestine, and then they dominated it. They occupied it in deed and then
adopted legislation to justify this occupation by law ... To be aware of
the colonial character of the State of Israel is to begin to make clear
why
the pressure of the events does so much to thrust Israel into the camp of
the Western powers, and why any other orientation would require heroic
efforts on the part of progressive elements in Israel ... The Zionist
leaders are responsible [for] the colonization of a foreign land."
In 1940, Rodinson received an appointment to the French Institute in
Damascus, both to extend his knowledge of Islam and to escape the
persecution of Jews in Nazi-occupied France. Both his parents subsequently
died in Auschwitz.
Rodinson's 1973 book, Israel, A Colonial-Settler State? was translated
from
the French and introduced by Peter Buch, who asked in his foreword, "Can
Israel be classified as a colonial-settler state, and the Palestinians,
concomitantly, as a people colonially oppressed by Israel?"
Buch continued: "It is true that several hundred thousand Jews, fleeing
Hitler before the war and escaping the wretched displaced persons camps
after the war, found refuge in Palestine because they were not accepted by
the western democracies who are today so friendly to Israel. These
refugees, persecuted victims themselves, were absorbed into the settler
community and only intensified the colonialist impact upon the Arabs. The
same was true with the huge number of 'Oriental' Jews who arrived
afterwards -- some under Zionist pressure and others expelled from their
Arab countries of origin in stupid and reactionary 'retaliation' for the
expulsion of the Palestinians. In both cases, the Palestinians were made
to
suffer the consequences of the deeds of others."
Buch commented further: "In common with the dominant outlook of European
chauvinism, Zionism considered any territory as 'empty' and available if
its indigenous population had not yet achieved national independence and
recognized statehood. Rodinson balances this harsh description of the
early
Zionists by pointing out that their racist prejudices and assumptions were
no worse than those prevailing among their contemporaries and might even
be
excused on that account as products of their time. This judgment can be
questioned as overly charitable, in view of the existence -- also among
their contemporaries -- of alternative movements for socialist and anti-
imperialist liberation which were attracting far more of the Jewish youth
than was Zionism. It certainly cannot excuse those who espoused this
program in the name of socialism, either then or now. However, such
considerations do not alter the basic facts."
Rodinson's concluding remarks, even back in 1973, were extremely prescient
given the current situation. He wrote: "It is possible that war is the
only
way out of the situation created by Zionism. I leave it to others to find
cause for rejoicing in this. But if there is any chance of some day seeing
a peaceful solution, it will not be achieved by telling the Arabs that it
is their duty to applaud their conquerors because they are Europeans or
are
in the process of becoming Europeanized, because they are 'advanced,'
because they are revolutionary or (almost) socialist and, even less,
simply
because they are Jews! The most that can be asked of the Arabs is that
they
resign themselves to a disagreeable situation, and that in resigning
themselves they make the best of their resignation. It is not easy to get
a
conquered person to resign himself to defeat, and it is not made any
easier
by loudly proclaiming how right it was that he was soundly beaten. It is
generally wiser to offer him compensation. And those who have not suffered
from the fight can (and, I believe, even must) recommend forgiveness for
the injuries inflicted. They are hardly entitled to demand it."
Sadly, Rodinson's lifetime of wisdom has been ignored by Zionists
everywhere. Today finds even more generations of Palestinians still living
as victims of a colonial-settler state.

2. A DISPUTATION OF AIMS IN EDUCATION: HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!
[By Imam Dr. Zijad Delic - Special to the CIC Friday Magazine]
===========================================================================
Even today, confusion about the aims of education is not new, in spite of
philosophers' efforts down through the ages to define what is basic to
true
knowledge and dispel uncertainties associated with it. Even the great
Aristotle had to deal with this issue in his day, when he wrote:
"For mankind are by no means agreed about the things to be taught, whether
we look to virtue or the best life. Nor is it clear whether education is
more concerned with intellectual or with moral virtue. The existing
practice is perplexing; no one knows on what principles we should proceed.
Should the useful in life, or should virtue, or should the higher
knowledge, be the aim of our training; all these opinions have been
entertained."
Now if people were questioning current definitions of education back in
ancient Greece, imagine the challenges we face in our 21st-century world.
In our age of heavy industry, automation, materialism, and galloping
technical complexity, it seems our only certainty is that we can look
forward to even more confusion about the aims of education and its
consequent impact upon individual and societal morality.
Various postmodern scholars argue that educational institutions merely
fill
students' heads with raw data and information, without imparting knowledge
in the classical sense -- which included mental training and discipline,
preparation for practical life, and the raising of intellectual faculties
(Estava and Prakash, 1998; Illich, 1998; Prakash, 1993; Gajardo, 1993).
Some contemporary scholars such as Wendell Berry (1992) have explained the
intent of education from a postmodern viewpoint. In an interview
concerning
his response to today's educational aims and concerns, Berry wisely
observed:
"My approach to education would be like my approach to everything else.
I'd
change the standard. I would make the standard that of community health
rather than [the] career of the student. You see, if you make the standard
the health of the community that would change everything. Once you begin
to
ask what would be the best thing for our community, what's the best thing
that we can do here for our community, you can't rule out any kind of
knowledge (Smith, 2000)."
Berry concluded his remarks by saying, "we are teaching as if the purpose
of knowledge is to help people have careers or to make them better
employees, and that's a great and tragic mistake (Smith, 2000)."
Islamic perspectives on this issue are similar to those so passionately
espoused by Berry. Al-Ghazali, a Muslim scholar who lived during the
eleventh century C.E., encouraged students to seek knowledge in order to
contribute to the entire community, not just for personal gain (Faris,
1991).
In this light, researchers might reasonably inquire whether today's
educational institutions are more oriented towards preparing students for
successful careers or towards fulfilling both the students' career goals
and the interests of the total community's health. The views of Gionatti
(2000) coincide with Al-Ghazali's, and he in fact mentions Al-Ghazali's
philosophy as one that upholds the ultimate goal of learning and knowledge
to be the welfare of one's community, society, and all of humanity.
This was the original intent of today's educational institutions, which
Gionatti states were "built to educate emerging professionals and leaders"
but which have "degenerated into something of an ego factory, encouraging
scholars to be more concerned with their publication record, grant
applications, and public notoriety than mentoring their students and
serving the wider non-academic community" - in other words, serving the
world.

3. "UNETHICAL" TO ABONDON CANADIAN IN SUDDAN: OFFICAL
[By News staff - www.CTV.ca -- (updated) Tuesday, April 29, 2008]
===========================================================================
A Montreal man stranded in Sudan has been given refuge at the Canadian
embassy, and his lawyer says he won't leave until Ottawa gives him some
answers about his plight.
Abousfian Abdelrazik, 46, a Canadian citizen who traveled back to his
native Sudan several years ago, has not been allowed to return to Canada.
His lawyer, Yavar Hameed, says that's because Ottawa has been blocking his
return.
For their part, Canadian officials aren't saying much about the case,
citing privacy concerns.
Abdelrazik went to Sudan in August of 2003 to visit his mother who was
sick
at the time. While there, he was arrested by Sudanese officials on a tip
from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), according Hameed.
He was later released by Sudan after investigators found no evidence to
support laying criminal charges, but hasn't been allowed to return to
Canada.
His young family is pleading with Ottawa to help facilitate the quick
return of their father. "I want him to come to Canada and give him a big
hug because I love him so much," said Abdelrazik's little boy, five-year-
old Kouteyba.
According to documents, Ottawa concedes he has the right as a Canadian
citizen to come home. But instead, he's trapped in Khartoum because his
name is on no-fly lists due unsubstantiated accusations of terrorism
links;
airlines won't take him, and Canada won't give him a passport.
His family says he's done nothing wrong and should face any accusations
leveled against him in Canada -- not abroad.
"He is not a terrorist. He is a Muslim. He is a practicing Muslim but a
peaceful Muslim,'' his wife Myriam St-Hilaire told reporters at an Ottawa
news conference.
Documents show similar concerns within foreign affairs. "I find it
unethical," wrote one official, "to hold him like this in limbo with no
future, no hope."
Officials have also expressed fears about negative publicity. "Should this
case break wide open in the media, we may have a lot of explaining to do,"
one official stated in media-accessed documents.
Lawyer Hameed told CTV's Canada AM program that a "veil of secrecy" has
surrounded federal dealings with his client, and the government has done
little to actually bring him home.
"The case ... at first blush seems like an open and shut one," Hameed
said.
"You have a Canadian citizen who is abroad in need of consular assistance,
and the job of foreign affairs and consulates in other countries is to
help
their citizens in need."
Instead, he alleges, the Canadian government has done nothing to help, and
even turned down an offer from Sudan to fly Abdelrazik home aboard a
Sudanese plane -- then denied the offer had ever been made.
So far, Canadian officials have cited procedural objections as their
reason
for failing to provide Abdelrazik with the proper documentation to come
home.
The U.S. State Department's website lists Abdelrazik as "posing a
significant risk of committing acts of terrorism that threaten the
security
of U.S. nationals and the national security." The department's website
claims he has provided logistical support to Al Qaeda and has been closely
associated with some of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants.
Hameed says there are no hurdles that Ottawa can't overcome quickly to
bring him home. Canadian officials can issue an emergency passport within
48 hours, if they choose, he said. He also said there are ways to go
around
the no-fly list.
"It's a bit of a mirage because under the no-fly list, whether it's
international commercial airlines or whether it's the UN travel ban, these
regulations do not preclude a country from repatriating its own citizen,"
he said. "And that's an option that was available from day one for Canada
to bring him back."

4. PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH GROUP AT UWO DE-RATIFIED
[By Edward C. Corrigan BA., MA, LL.B. - Special to the CIC Friday
Magazine]
===========================================================================
The University of Western Ontario's Public Interest Research Group (UWO-
PIRG) has been de-ratified as an official club at UWO by the Clubs Policy
Committee of the University Student Council. In the official
deratification
notice no specific grounds or reasons were given for the action. It is
also
not clear if any warning was given to UWO PIRG concerning possible
problems
or if any opportunity was offered to correct procedural errors. It is also
not apparent how other UWO student clubs are treated or what violations
are
considered grounds for deratification. There is no indication why UWO PIRG
was singled out for deratification.
UWO PIRG has been the official sponsor of a number of pro-Palestinian
speakers on campus since the deratification of another club group,
Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) at Western in 2006. The
pro-
Palestinian stance of the SPHR club was clearly a part of administrative
attacks on that club.
UWO PIRG has also sponsored speakers critical of Israeli policies toward
the Palestinians, including prominent Israeli historian Ilan Pappe who,
spoke about the "Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" and Dr. Ismail Zayid, who
gave a presentation on the discriminatory nature of the Jewish National
Fund. If these pro-Palestinian presentations had a motivating influence
behind the deratification of UWO PIRG and SPHR, they follow a pattern of
anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab racism that has been experienced in the
past
at University of Western Ontario.
Anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab racism have been subjects of at least four
complaints made to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, and upheld,
against
the University of Western Ontario itself (three instances) and the
University Students Council (once instance).
My article on the USC complaint and on the presenters' battle to present
pro-Palestinian speakers, many of them Jewish, at Western can be found in
"The Palestinian Question at the University: The Case of Western Ontario,"
American-Arab Affairs [now called Middle East Policy], Summer 1987, pp.
87-98.
The University Student's Council was required to publish "a statement of
regret" and to ratify Canadians Concerned for the Middle East (CCME) as an
official club. The pro-Palestinian club also won backing from the Canadian
Civil Liberties Association and a supportive editorial from the Globe and
Mail. Many Jewish academics and other prominent figures also criticized
the
attempt to censor debate on the Palestinian issue at UWO.
The three complaints of "differential treatment of Arab students" were
filed in (also in 1987) against the University of Western Ontario. UWO was
required to publish an apology and pay four Arab students $2,000 each for
"their mental anguish." Newspaper reports of the "Anti-Arab complaint"
were
carried in the London Free Press and the Globe and Mail on February 10,
1994.
"In his open letter of apology university president George Pedersen
admitted Western was slow in responding to the local Arab Palestinian
community's 'legitimate concerns' and failed to achieve 'the ideals
associated with freedom of speech in the incidents cited'." ("UWO agrees
to
apologize, pay Arab students $8,000," London Free Press, February 10, 1994
p. B1)
What is disturbing is that current University of Western Ontario
president,
Dr. Paul Davenport, defends his accepting an award from the Jewish
National
Fund, which was found to be a racist organization by the Israeli Supreme
Court for discrimination against Arabs in Israel, on the basis of free
speech. I am a strong supporter of free speech and academic freedom.
However, the silence of the UWO Administration on repeated attempts to
harass and shut down pro-Palestinian organizations at Western and
organizations that sponsor pro-Palestinian speakers, proclaims loudly
about
hypocrisy and underscores the persistence of discriminatory and even
racist
attitudes towards Arab and Muslim students at UWO, and those who associate
with them.
This silence and refusal to intervene also speaks of a blatant double
standard toward free speech and academic freedom when it comes to
Palestinian human rights at Western; these same arguments are used to
defend racism against Arabs in Israel by organizations such as the Jewish
National Fund.

6. ISLAMIC HISTORY MONTH JOINS HANDS WITH ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH
[By Iman Ibrahim - Special to the CIC Friday Magazine]
===========================================================================
Islamic History Month Canada (IHMC), launched in October 2007 by the
Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC), has announced the beginning of a
partnership with Asian Heritage Month, to facilitate the joint
organization
of some shared events. IHMC, an unprecedented annual project developed and
sponsored by the CIC, aims at celebrating Muslim contributions to
civilization, old and new, and enhancing the prospects of dialogue and
understanding among all facets of Canadian multicultural society.
Last year, after five Canadian cities proclaimed October Islamic History
Month, the House of Commons also proclaimed October to be Islamic History
Month all across Canada. This year, in co-operation with Asian Heritage
Month, IHMC is presenting three nights of films on Islamic art and
architecture in May 2008 at the Ottawa Public Library (120 Metcalfe
Street). At the same location, Asian History Month is also sponsoring
Family Story Time and Celebration.
Ottawa Library events in detail:
Islamic History and Culture Documentaries (in the library Auditorium):
May 7 (Wednesday) 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. - 2 documentaries to be shown (THIS WAS
A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT)
1) The Glories of Islamic Art: The Ottomans and their Capital Istanbul,
(45
minutes).
Professor and researcher Akhbar Ahmed explores the connection of Islam
with its art and architecture as reflected in the Ottomans' 15th and
16th century Istanbul. By borrowing from or adapting Byzantine works,
Muslim architect Sinan produced unique historical buildings, such as
the
Blue Mosque and the converted Christian Cathedral, Haggia Sophia.
2) The Glories of Islamic Art: Cairo, the Capital of the Fatimids and
Mamlukes (45 minutes).
Professor and researcher Akhbar Ahmed explores the connection of Islam
with the art and architecture of Cairo. As the capital of the 12th
century Shi'ite Fatimids and the 14th century Sunni Mamlukes, Cairo's
unique historical buildings reflect the distinct characteristics of two
Muslim regimes.
May 21 (Wednesday) 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Islamic Art: Africa and Central Asia (45 minutes):
Art scholar Waldemar Januszczak introduces viewers to masterworks in
Africa
and Central Asia through a video trip that takes you from the gigantic and
surreal mud mosques of Mali, to the ancient city of Isfahan in Iran, to
Uzbekistan's Samarquand.
May 28 (Wednesday) 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Islamic Art: The Omayyads' Damascus (45 minutes):
Professor and researcher Akhbar Ahmed explores the connection of Islam
with
its art and architecture as reflected in the Omayyads' 9th and 10th
century
influence on Damascus. His documentary shows the Great Mosque of Damascus,
the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, the mighty citadel of Aleppo, and other
historic landmarks.
Admission to all the above events is free. Question-and-answer sessions
will follow each evening's presentation.
These events have been organized to highlight the artistic aspects of
Islamic civilization and the many ways it draws inspiration from the
Qur'an
and from a continuing dynamic interaction with surrounding civilizations.
Further details on these events can be obtained by contacting the Ottawa
Regional Director of CIC, Mrs. Iman Ibrahim, at imanibrahim@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
