Eighrh Friday Sermon Jan 11, 1991 morals to come to the help of the weak and restore the land of Kuwait to its people! It is claiming that it is forced to react against cruelty to humans because of its deep sense of. . humanity and high moral values". And if it did not intervene - it claims - then humanity would disappear from the face of the earth, and there would nol remain any guarantee of peace for any poor and w eak country in the world. If such sentiments are genuine, and if America has awakened to a new sense of sublime values - even though much loo late - then why not apply these same values at home and relinquish the Red Indian land in their favour and return to your old country which was your ancestral land? If you say that to them, they will reply: What are you talking about? It was "another matter altogether". Have you lost your mind? Obviously, one cannot argue with this 'it-was-another-matter' attitude. Britain which has a passionately anti-Iraq stance, in cooperation with the U. S. and repeating the latter's arguments in this context, has a great resemblance with the U. S. in that Britain also coloniw:1 a continent i. e. Australia. The British cruelty against the inhabitants of Australia was so horrifying that the fore-mentioned American atrocities are nothing in comparison. A basic difference between the Australian Aborigines - who were the original inhabitants of Australia - and the original inhabitants of the American continent was that the latter were martial- races who knew how to fight valiantly to defend their land, and they gave tremendous sacrifices in their struggle. But in contrast, the Australian Aborigines were peaceful people who had no knack for fighting. The British hunted them down in the forests in a manner that resembles a deer-hunt. Those who survived this hunt, were captured and castrated. This horrible campaign of genocide was all-encompassing. As a result, now there is onJy a few dialects spoken by these people that now remain on record; the rest of the 600 dialects that once existed have vanished. And only a small portion of the surviving tribes are now being guarded in settlements - like animals in a zoo - to put on a show for future generations that these are the vanquished people from whom we snatched this country. A policy of non proliferation with regard to these races is being practised. Now, this is Britain's history, in this context. 140
