UN chief Annan pleads for end to bigotry
 
By The Associated Press
 
 
 
UNITED NATIONS - Secretary-General Kofi Annan used Scottish poet Robert
Burns' prayer for brotherhood Tuesday night to plead for an end to bigotry -
especially against Muslims and Jews.
 
 
 
 
Delivering the inaugural Robert Burns Memorial Lecture, Annan noted that the
poet was not only an advocate for political and social change but also a
champion for the poor and above all for a world where all people live
together in peace.
In Burns' poem, "A Man's A Man for A' That," he prayed "That man to man, the
world o'er, Shall brothers be for a' that."
But Annan said prejudice remains widespread, especially against Muslims and
Jews.
"One of the most disturbing manifestations of bigotry today is Islamophobia
- a new word for an old phenomenon," he said.
Since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, many Muslims
especially in the West have become "the objects of suspicion, harassment and
discrimination," Annan said.
"And too many people see Islam as a monolith, and as intrinsically opposed
to the West - when in fact Western and Islamic peoples have a long history
of commerce, of inter-mingling and inter-marrying, and of influencing and
enriching each other's art, literature, science and much else besides," he
said.
Similarly, Annan called anti-Semitism "another dangerous hatred (that)
blights our world."
"The recent upsurge of attacks on Jews, synagogues, cemeteries and other
Jewish targets in Europe, Turkey and elsewhere, show this hatred to be, not
just the stuff of history, but virulent still," he said.
Some cases of anti-Semitism appear to be a byproduct of the escalating
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Annan said.
But he warned that "no one should be allowed to use criticism of Israel's
actions as a mask for anti-Semitism."
"Nor, on the other side, should Israel's supporters use the charge of
anti-Semitism to stifle legitimate discussion," he said.
The lecture is an initiative of the British Executive Service Overseas,
which will use funds raised from the event to help send more Scottish
volunteers to developing countries.

 specialmente dell'islamofobia e dell'antisemitismo.
In altre parole, un colpo al cerchio e uno alla botte.
Posizione pilatesca perchè sebbene le due fobie siano in teoria altrettanto
gravi (come ogni fobia contro qualunque popolo e/o religione), mi sembra
ridicolo trattarle come se oggi si manifestassero con la stessa intensità.
Ci sono in giro sentimenti antipatici, ma non mi pare di rilevare massacri
di islamici, né bombe e incendi nelle moschee. Non mi mi pare che
l'organizzazione di cui Annan è presidente oltre a patrocinare riunioni
antisemite a Durban ne abbia organizzate anche di antislamiche. O sbaglio?
