The
theory of evolution bases the development of living things on a
“struggle for survival” that exists in nature. According to the founder
of the theory, Charles Darwin, there is a ruthless fight 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 favored races,” 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 the superiority 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 support that 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 Rwandan genocide 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 region of 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
Tutsis from 1930 to 1994 brought the background conflict in the country
to a peak. 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; The Journey 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 by the Belgians, who had this
country 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 skulls need 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. But the moral values commanded by Allah and
revealed in the Qur’an will always 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.
