The recent study carried out by team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad published in The Lancet say over 655,000 Iraqi’s have died since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Their finding not only lends credibility to the claims of war crimes being committed in occupied Iraq; they are also simply shocking. This is an enormous number of deaths of men, women and children in one country. However, the world does not even want to know about what is surely the greatest crime in human history and which is continuing unabated? One must wonder whether Human race has lost all sense of its shared humanity.

This Muslim holocaust has been in the making for long time. According to Gideon Polya of Media Monitor Network and United Nations population statistics have provided the key forensic evidence for the Muslim holocaust to be about 550 million since 1950. The sheer magnitude of this Muslim “excess mortality” compels one to address this holocaust and bring to justice those responsible. The global media do not report the “Muslim Holocaust” while are uncritically obsessed by the “war of terror”. These sorts of mass-murder constitute a holocaust of a kind unknown before in Human history.

Russians in Chechnya, Indians in Kashmir, Israelis in Palestine and Lebanon, American in Afghanistan and Iraq, are all committing these atrocities. This large-scale slaughter is taking place in full view of the world. Half billion-death toll of the Muslim since 1950 is one hundred times that of Jewish Holocaust (6 million victims). Everybody knows the Jewish Holocaust and war criminals involved have been captured, prosecuted and punished. Unlike the Jewish holocaust, the Muslim holocaust is scattered incidents around the world from China to Bosnia to Palestine and Iraq. Who is responsible of this Holocaust? The simple answer is the colonial “occupiers” or as “patrons” of postcolonial regimes.

Muslim civilians are killed in Iraq and Afghanistan daily by US-made and US taxpayer-funded weapons, while President Bush is more interest in protecting frozen embryos. One would be forced to wonder that sanctity of Muslim life is unimportant to the neo-cons in Washington. Also when asked why the world hates America? The answer to the question lies in ever-expanding graveyard of Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon
