Sudanese Military, Militias Kill Christians in South Kordofan



Two dead, two others tortured on day when at least three church buildings are attacked.
 
Military intelligence agents killed one Christian, and Islamic militants sympathetic to the government slaughtered another last week after attacking churches in Sudan’s embattled South Kordofan state.

Christian sources said a Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) Intelligence unit detained Nimeri Philip Kalo, a student at St. Paul Major Seminary, on June 8 near the gate of the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) in Kadugli’s al Shaeer area and shot him in front of bystanders. Kalo and other Christians were fleeing the town after Muslim militias loyal to the SAF attacked and looted at least three church buildings in Kadugli, they said.

UNMIS’s mandate is to support the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Government of Sudan and the country’s Christian and animist south, scheduled to secede on July 9, by helping in the disarmament process, among other means. Armed conflict in Kadugli broke out between southern and northern militaries on June 6 after northern forces seized Abyei last month.

SAF military intelligence agents accused Kalo of being a Christian and suspected he was therefore opposed to the Islamic government, the sources said.

“They shot him in front of our eyes and forced us not to cry, or else we would face the same fate,” a Christian source told Compass on condition of anonymity. Likewise, another Christian survivor said while breaking into tears, “They killed him in front of my eyes.”

On the same day, Islamic militants loyal to the SAF slaughtered a young Christian man by sword in Kadugli Market, the sources said. Adeeb Gismalla Aksam, 33, a bus driver whose father is an elder with the Evangelical Church in Kadugli, was murdered by Muslim extremists shouting, “Allahu-akbar [God is greater]!”

The Islamic militias were heard shouting “Allahu-akbar!” as they began shooting at a Roman Catholic Church building at 3:30 p.m. on June 8, during a mass in which the congregants were asking God to protect them.

“As we were praying, they started to pour bullets at us to the point that we were terribly scared,” a Christian who escaped the attack told Compass.

No one was hit by the bullets shot at the building from the outside, but SAF agents on June 8 arrested the Rev. Abraham James Lual in front of his congregation, a priest of a Kadugli parish told Compass. Accusing Lual of preaching that people should oppose the Islamic government, authorities took him to an unknown location and tortured him two days, releasing him the following morning, the priest said.

The Rev. Paul Okeny, another Catholic priest, told Compass that Islamic militias loyal to the SAF looted other churches in Kadugli as well, besides attacking Lual’s church and depriving him of his belongings.

“Authorities confiscated all his belonging and denied him his cell phone,” Okeny told Compass.

Christians were in shock as they have become targets for Islamic militants working with the Government of Sudan, sources said.

Another Christian who requested anonymity said he was arrested at gunpoint by SAF military Intelligence agents at 8:30 a.m. on June 8. Accusing him of being anti-Islam and therefore opposed to the Islamic government, the security officers took him to a military jail, where he was severely beaten and “kicked like a ball,” he said.

According to the Christian, one high-ranking official told another, “Why shouldn’t you shoot him in his house so that his body gets rotten in his own house?” After taking him to his house, they started to torture him with sticks, guns and knives, saying, “We will kill you,” he said.

“I was praying to God to be with me and forgive them,” he told Compass. “I thought that was my end, but thank God I was released, but warned to quit the town. As I was running they opened fire on me, but the motorbike was running very fast, so no bullet hit me.”

They called after him, “Make sure we will not see your face again,” he added.

The SAF and Islamic militias on June 8 also set fire to buildings of the Episcopal Church of Sudan and the Sudanese Church of Christ in Kadugli, sources said.

“I saw a building of the Episcopal Church of Sudan in flames,” said one eyewitness.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Andudu Adam Elnail of the Episcopal Diocese of Kadugli confirmed the incident.

“The churches and pastors were directly targeted,” he said. “The guesthouse in Kadugli, where my staff lives, was looted. The militias and SAF broke into the church building, taking all property, including the sound system, projector, beds, chairs and two motorbikes, including one of the bishop’s.”

On Sunday (June 12), North Kordofan Gov. Mutasim Mirghani Zaki El-deen declared jihad (holy war) on the Nuba people, most of whom are Christians.

Christians in the area said they are still traumatized as result of the atrocities committed against them by Sudan security forces and militias loyal to the government military. Sources in Sudan said Christians are calling their brothers and sisters worldwide to pray for the crisis in South Kordofan.
“The situation is critical – we need other Christians to fast and pray for us,” said one source.

Women are second grade people in Islam


Ayatollah Khomeini

In Islam, jihad is the best form of worship of Allah. What is jihad? Islamic jihad is the most barbaric incitement, the world has ever seen, to commit indiscriminate and large scale homicide. In plain words, jihad means indiscriminate killing of kafirs, plundering their wealth, occupying their land and other properties by sword, fire and rape. We should see what two prominent Muslim leaders have said about jihad.
It has been mentioned in an earlier article that to explain the ultimate aim of jihad, Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of Islamic Revolution in Iran said, “Jihad means the conquest of all non-Muslim territiries. Such a war may well be declared after the formation of an Islamic government worth of that name … It will then be the duty of every able-bodied adult male Moslem to volunteer for this war of conquest, the final aim of which is to put Koranic law in power from one end of the earth to the other. … We have no recourse other than to overthrow all governments that do not rest on pure Islamic principles. … That is not only our duty in Iran, but it is also the duty of all Moslems in the world, in all Muslim countries to carry the Islamic political revolution to its final victory.”  
It has also been mentioned that, to explain jihad, another Muslim leader Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin, the founder of Hamas, said, “Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says, “Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty – to establish the rule of Allah on earth and to liberate your countries and yourselves from America’s domination and its Zionist allies, it is your battle – either victory or martyrdom.”  He has also claimed responsibility for a number of suicide attacks targeting Israeli civilians.
Ahmed Yassin
Most importantly, Islam does not have any program to turn its followers into an educated workforce for creating wealth. In Islam, Muslims are not supposed to create wealth, but they are to acquire it by launching jihad against the infidels, or in other words, by looting or plundering the wealth of the infidel kafirs. So, in reality, Islamc jihad is an economic enterprise. But due to their physical weakness and mental softness, it is not possible for the women to participate in cruel and brutal acts of jihad and due to this reason women in Islam have no importance in fiercely male dominated Muslim society. All the benefits are supposed to be enjoyed by men alone and women are to serve the males as slaves. Or in other words, their status is no better than domestic animals. They are just machines for satiation of the sexual lust of the males and breeding would be jihadis.
So, they must be covered by head to foot black burqas and forced to remain indoor so that light of wisdom may not reach them. They should be kept in total darkness so that they may not revolt against the severe male-domination and could be used like slaves or domestic animals. Mr Arlene Peck, in his article “Arab Men Treat Their Farm Animals Better Than Their Women”, writes, “The animals and woman do, however, have one thing in common: both are used for breeding. In the case of Islamic fundamentalists, women are used as breeding stock for future terrorists, or now, often, as suicide bombers. Come to think of it, goats and camels are treated better. They’re not forced to wear those hot and repressive burkas.” [1]
He also writes, “Women begin their lives under the control of a dysfunctional mind which demands that they submit to them in every way. … Hey, if a woman in that garden spot of the world, Saudi Arabia, isn’t allowed to vote, drive a car, or go out of her house without a man to control her movements, … Arab men can’t stand the thought that their women might be allowed sexual enjoyment. After all, they are only good for breeding. So, with this in mind, female children are subjected to genital mutilation, … Heaven forbid that an Arab woman ever has a relationship with another man or has been raped by her father, brother, cousin, etc. It would be the innocent girl’s fault and she would probably be killed for the sexual conduct forced upon her. Even the goats have it better. No one kills the goat to avenge anyone’s honor.   Tens of thousands more have been murdered in honor killings. …. Hell, I think pre-caveman? Cultural practices and overly patriarchal societies – which vary from one country to another – are what dictate a woman’s place in this region. Abuse and discrimination are rampant.”[1]
We see the Muslim scholars babble the lie day and night that, merciful Allah has given equal status for men and women. But according to Muslim law of inheritance, a daughter can only claim of her father’s property half of that allotted for the son. So, the Koran says, “Allah directs you in regard of your Children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females…. These are settled portions ordained by Allah.” (4: 11) Furthermore, the merit of the witness of a woman, in the court of law is simply the half of that of a man. So, the hadith says, “The Prophet said, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?” The woman said, “Yes”. He said, “This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.”(Bukhari: Vol3, Book 48, No.826)  “Tell the men with you who have wives: never trust a woman.” (Ishaq:584) “In hell I saw women hanging by their breasts. They had fathered bastards.” (Ishaq:185)
According to Islamic theology, women are not equal to men as women are deficient in intelligence. A hadith by Bukhari, in this regard says, “Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmativeHe said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.” ( Bukhari Vol.1:Book 6:No 301)

Conclusion:

From the above discussions, it becomes evident that, in the Muslim society, women do not have a status equal to that of a man and Allah puts value of a woman just the half that of a man. Secondly, Allah condemns the women as an unclean and wretched lot and prohibits their entry into his paradise. The intention of Allah, according to the verse (4: 34) of the Koran, is to keep the women economically dependent on men. So, if they receive education and become economically self sufficient, it will be a challenge to the instruction of Allah. So, they are not to be allowed to receive education after the age of 8 years. After that, they should remain indoor and read only the holy Koran, so that they remain stuck to the civilization of 7th century AD.
At the same time, they should be covered with head to foot burqa, so that they may not get enlightened and remain to be used by the men as sex-slaves, a sex object to be raped by the men. If they become enlightened by receiving modern education, they would acquire strength to protest the oppressions heaped upon them by men. So the most appropriate step is to keep them illiterate and thus to keep them remain as sex-slaves of the males. But, in many Islamic countries, women are being enlightened by receiving and have started to question Islam. We hope to these developments in a future article.

Sudanese bishop urges US to use broad diplomacy to end violence


A bishop in southern Sudan has urged the United States to use whatever diplomatic means it can to pressure the government of President Omar al-Bashir to end its attacks on civilians in South Kordofan state. Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala of Tombura-Yambio said the danger of war is great if troops from the North continue their attacks in an attempt to control key areas along the unresolved border between Sudan and Southern Sudan, which is scheduled to become independent July 9. Speaking on Thursday to Catholic News Service, prior to testifying about the situation in Southern Sudan to the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, Bishop Kussala expressed the people’s fears saying, “We want the American community to prevent us, to not go back to war." While sporadic conflicts began soon after residents of Southern Sudan voted overwhelmingly to be independent from Sudan in a January referendum, the violence intensified in May as government troops from the North sought to control key areas in South Kordofan, which borders the oil-rich states of Unity and Upper Nile.

Radical Islam spreading in US prisons – lawmakers

AFP/Getty Images – Committee Chairman Rep. Peter King participates in a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Capitol
WASHINGTON, D.C.: US prisons are becoming a hotbed for indoctrinating inmates and turning them into radical Muslims, US lawmakers were told on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) in the second of a series of controversial hearings.
“Despite appearances, prison walls are porous. Outside influences access those on the inside, and inmates reach from the inside out,” Patrick Dunleavy, a retired New York prison inspector, told US lawmakers.
“Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination,” he said.
He was addressing a hearing of the House committee on Homeland Security, led by Republican Rep. Peter King of New York, whose first session in March on Muslim radicalization in the United States drew accusations of a religious witch hunt.
“Dozens of [former convicts] who became radicalized Muslims inside US prisons have gone to Yemen to join an al-Qaeda group run by a fellow American, Anwar al-Awlaqi,” King told the committee.
Awlaqi’s “terrorists have attacked the US homeland several times since 2008 and are generally acknowledged to be al-Qaeda most dangerous affiliate,” he added.
King has accused Muslim leaders and mosque imams of doing too little to stop the radicalization of young Americans and of not cooperating with law enforcement.
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with about 1.4 million people behind bars across the country, meaning that there is potentially a captive audience.
“The prison population is vulnerable to radicalization by the same agents responsible for radicalizing Americans outside of the prison walls,” said Dunleavy, who has investigated terror recruitment in New York prisons.
“The initial exposure to extremist jihadi Islam may begin in prison. However, it often matures and deepens after the release,” he added.
And militant groups have little difficulty in smuggling materials into cells, he charged.
“Jihadi and extremist literature finds its way through the mail, even though it is largely prohibited. Anything can be gotten in prison, including a PDA or a smartphone,” he said.
But Purdue University sociology professor Bert Useem took a less alarmist stance, saying, “The crux of my testimony is that prisons have not served as a major source of jihad radicalization.”
He insisted that prison guards were vigilant about the dangers.
“Rather than waiting for facilities to be penetrated by radicalizing groups, correctional leaders have fashioned, staffed and energized the effort to defeat radicalization,” he said.
Former assistant US attorney Kevin Smith said, “The particular group that we’re talking about, these particular radicalized inmates, represent a very small proportion.”
He recognized, though, that “it’s a small portion with a much greater exponential danger for the community.”

Muslim Brotherhood Ayman Al-Zawahiri: New Al-Qaida Leader


On 2nd May following confirmation of the killing of Osama Bin Laden I predicted Ayman Al-Zawahiri would take the helm of Al-qaida, it is now official. Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri may not be in egypt, but he still has very close ties with the muslim brotherhood old guard and their spiritual leader. Mahmoud Hussein, secretary general of the Muslim brotherhood in egypt said, “we respect Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his struggle against those that invade muslim countries, he is not a formal member, but I can not say he is not a member of the brotherhood, we support him in his struggle”.
Al-zawahiri was Involved in Islamist politics since he was a young boy and arrested for being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood when only 15 years old.
Hussein continued by saying, “Al-Zawahiri was not only lieutenant to , he was also his personal physician, he is very intillegent and will avenge the murder of Bin Laden. Al-Qaida will be more active under his leadership.”
When he joined the at age 14, Al-Zawahiri along with four other secondary school students, helped form an “underground cell devoted to overthrowing the Egyptian government and establishing an Islamist state. His cell eventually merged with others to form al-Jihad or Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Al-Zawahiri graduating from Cairo University in 1974, he served three years as a surgeon in the Egyptian Army then established a clinic near his parents and earned a master’s degree in surgery in 1978.

Al- Zawahiri’s ambition was to recruit military officers and accumulate weapons, with the intent to launch “a complete overthrow of the existing Government. The plan was to kill the main leaders of the country, capture the headquarters of the army, State Security, the telephone exchange building, and of course the radio and television buildings, where news of the Islamic revolution would then be broadcast, unleashing a popular Islamic uprising against secular authority all over the country.

It was only by good fortune that the plan fell apart when authorities were alerted and President Anwar Sadat ordered the roundup of more than 1500 Islamic radicals mostly Muslim brotherhood members, including many Al-Jihad members. Al-Zawahiri was one of hundreds arrested following Sadat’s assassination.
Had his plan succeeded, Egypt would not be the country it is today. Egypt would be another radical Islamist country mirroring Saudi Arabi and run by ”self indulgent God like figures” in the muslim brotherhood and their hypocritical and  obscene interpretation of Islam.

Al-Zawahiri is however seen as a coward by some in the muslim brotherhood, they recall how he revealed the hiding place of a key member of the Maadi cell of al-Jihad whilst he was held in prison. Many view his treachery guaranteed him early release after serving only 3 years in detention, whilst many of his “Muslim Brothers” were executed. Within months of his release. Al-Zawahiri fled Egypt, went to then travelled to Peshawar Pakistan where he eventually met Bin Laden.
 
It comes as no surprise that a Muslim Brotherhood member (whether current or not) is now the leader of the mother of terrorist organisations. Al-Zawahiri is “Sunni” muslim and fond supporter of Wahibbi islam as practiced in Saudi Arabia and promoted in egypt by the rapidly increasing Salafist movement.

There is growing speculation the Egyptian army has subversive links to Al-Qaida prompting them to release over 1600 Islamic radicals associated with the salafists. it is anticipated Al-Zawahiri will use the muslim brotherhood to strengthen his ties with radicals in his homeland and prevent a secular society emerging post the revolution.

One Muslim Brotherhood member speaking on assurance of anonymity informed us, “the spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood Yussief Al-Qaradawi has been in close and constant contact with Al-Zawahiri, they are close friends and their association goes back decades. If all goes well Al-Zawahiri may return to egypt just as Al-Qaradawi did after the fall of Mubarak. These men believe this is the time to bring their decades old plans of true Islamisation in Egypt, it has been a life long struggle for these men and it has cost the lives of many of their muslim brothers”.

Why is it Islam, breeds so many delusional, delinquent, retarded mad men that think they are “Allah’ and have a duty to kill all those opposed to their view of Islam.?

Least we Forget the words of the self declared prophet mohammed: “My ummah (muslim community) will be divided into 73 sects and 72 of those sects will be deceived (by Satan) and go to HELL”. 

Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar
Who dare challenge the words of the mighty prophet?

UN chief’s message for World Day to Combat Desertification

Noting that the inhabitants in the world’s arid lands are among the poorest and most vulnerable to hunger, the United Nations chief has urged for the development of these dry lands. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon made the appeal in his message for the World Day to Combat Desertification, observed on Friday. This year’s observance took place in the current International Year of Forests, declared by the United Nations General Assembly to educate the global community about the value of forests and the extreme social, economic and environmental costs of losing them. The UN chief noted that 42% of the Earth’s tropical and subtropical forests are dry forests, where productivity has shrunk to below subsistence levels. “The challenges facing the “forgotten billion” men, women and children who live there deserve special attention,” Ban urged. He blamed the depletion, degradation and desertification of these lands on unsustainable land management and agriculture. “The management, conservation and sustainable development of dry forests are central to combating desertification,” Ban said, calling for rewarding “those who make drylands productive, so they will prosper and others will seek to emulate their example.” “Too often,” he noted “investing in drylands has been seen as unproductive or risky, instead of a necessary avenue for improving the well-being of local communities and national economies.” “Our challenge is to change market perceptions so drylands cease to be investment deserts,” the UN chief added.
