The Ideological Basis of the Rwandan Genocide is Rooted in Darwin's Theory of Evolution

Q: How does the ideology of Social Darwinism contribute to conflict in society?

Social Darwinism posits that life is a ruthless struggle where the strong must eliminate the weak to progress. This view replaces human mercy and brotherhood with conflict, justifying war, exploitation, and genocide as natural or necessary outcomes.

Q: How can peace be established in the face of violent ideologies?

True peace and social tranquility are found through adherence to the moral values commanded by Allah in the Quran. Replacing dogmatic, materialist education with values of love, mercy, and human dignity is essential to ending the cycles of violence seen in the last century.

Q: Why were ethnic identity cards significant in the Rwandan tragedy?

Identity cards enforced by colonial authorities solidified artificial divisions between ethnic groups. By mandating that citizens carry labels of difference, officials institutionalized the hatred and prejudice that eventually culminated in systematic genocide.
