The theory of evolution bases the development ofliving things on a
"struggle for survival" that exists in nature. According to the
founder of the theory, Charles Darwin, there is a ruthlessfight for
survival and permanent conflict in nature. The strong invariably
eliminate the weak, and progress is only possible in this way.
Darwinism longs for a world in which human beings live and behave like
animals. When this Darwinist law of the jungle is applied to
societies, conflict and war between races and nations are inevitable.
War, killing, mass murder and barbarity in many parts of the world
assumed a scientific guise,and the 20th Century was one of pain and
ruthlessness.
Darwin's writings about "the protection of favoredraces," and
especially the unscientific claims in his book The Descent of Man,
supported the German error of the superiority of the alleged Aryan
race and the British idea of thesuperiority of the Anglo Saxons.
The mass murder of approximately 40 million people by the Nazis and
their racially driven program of systematic genocide during the Second
World War, the former apartheid system in South Africa and the racial
discrimination against black people in the USA and the aboriginal
peoples in Australia all drew strength from the supportthat Darwinism
supposedly provided for racism.
How can those who say, "These ideologies are things of the past" or
"There is no longer any need to tell people of the invalidity of the
theory of evolution" ignore the fact that in Rwanda in 1994 some
800,000 Hutus and Tutsis died in 100 days as a result of skull-based
racism?
The roots of the Rwandangenocide go back to the Belgian colonization
of the country in the wake of World War I. It was claimed in those
days, on the supposed scientific basis of Darwin's theory of
evolution, that the people living in the regionof Rwanda were an
intermediate race between the Aryan race and negroes, who were
regarded as an inferior race. Skull measurements were taken, common
linguistic, traditional and ethnic similarities between the Rwandan
Hutus and Tutsis were ignored and an artificial policy of racial
discrimination was followed.
In order to foment racial discrimination, Belgian administrators
enforced ethnic identity cards and gave everyone a card on which his
or her ethnicity was written. These racially-based practices between
Hutus and Tutsisfrom 1930 to 1994 brought the background conflict in
the country to apeak. And despite a concerted last-minute UN
intervention in 1994, 800,000 Rwandans lost their lives in just 100
days.
The documentary " Shake Hands With The Devil; TheJourney of Romeo
Dallaire" , in which the commander of the UN Peace Force during the
genocide describes those events, describes how the racism in the
region was supported by Darwinist circles:
"The problem that essentially was created bythe Belgians, who had
thiscountry as a colony, and through their whole etnictiy, exercise,
and their antropologists who had gone on a wild sphere of idiotic
theories and sizes of heads and this and that, and the administrators
included the ethnicity on the ID cards. And then that splits the
country and identifies you as elements of difference.
"I understand the intense ethnic hatred weren't really in the soul of
Hutus and Tutsis but were encouraged by the emperial powers over the
years."
According to Social Darwinism, people's skullsneed to be measured and
classifications made on that basis. Under this twisted way of
thinking, members of supposed inferior classes must be ruthlessly
eliminated and exploited. For these people, who believe that only when
such savagery is applied can human beings and societies progress, and
massacres, genocide, cruelty and ruthlessness on that path are to be
regarded as successes. People, societies, cultures and nations that
fail to achieve that success must be eliminated.
This is without doubt a most twisted and dangerous way of thinking.
The dangers of Darwinism must not be ignored. We must not forget that
Darwinism and social models based on Darwinism have inflicted the most
awful tragedies on mankind. Butthe moral values commanded by Allah and
revealed in the Qur'an willalways bring with them well-being, peace
and tranquility.
If the pains of the last century are finally to come to an end in the
21st Century, and if this century is to be one of peace, then an end
must be put to dogmatic Darwinist education.
