Is is possible that Ayman Zawahiri calling Barack Obama a “house slave” or “house negro” has done what Dafur genocide failed to to and focus attention on the long ignored Arab slave trade and Arab racism?

If Washington Post columnist Colby King angry outburst on Inside Washington is to be judged typical it just may be. Given Arab involvement in the West and East African slave trade, Colby inquired, how dare Zawahiri make any references to American slavery? He went on to mention the fact that Al Qaeda’s attack on Washington endangered Black children. Liberals Nina Totenberg (she even mentioned Arab treatment of women) and Evan Thomas declared that killing Zawahiri should henceforth take precedence over killing Bin Laden.

Dissing Republican Condoleeza Rice was fine. No one made a peep when the Syrian Egyptian Opposition Weekly wrote that Rice ‘Is Suited Only to Work at a Nightclub or to Make Her Bed in the Heart of the Jungles’. They could not care less when Hamas Minister of Culture ‘Atallah Abu Al-Subh said Condoleezza Rice Is a Black Scorpion with A Cobra’s Head Who Has the Blood of Palestinian Children between Her Lips and on Her Fangs.

But, you see, dissing Obama is different. No one is permitted to touch the Democratic ONE and in this case, I am grateful, “from the bitter, comes sweet.” Liberal and Black Americans may finally join the war on Islamists.
