Wow...this was refreshing compared to what we normally hear from a Muslim.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is a well-written editorial by a Muslim who has the courage to say what many non-Muslims don’t have.

I hope this guy has protection or lives somewhere other than Sudan. He’s got a set of brass ones to write this.

[skinkinthegrass]

...a very brave guy (he can expect a death sentence, from the Islamic "crazies").

[Logical me]

As for me, an ugly association has forever been ingrained into my mind.

Thank you for speaking. I hope that this incident will remind Americans that we have the same kind of problem right here in this Country. We have our radical insane here and it does somewhat poison our minds.

I feel your pain and believe me, I think most Americans feel it as some of us do with our pain. Peace be with you.

I’m sure the lunatics will be at his door waving machetes soon.

[Flintlock]

Wow.
One Muzzie speaks out.
One.
I’m reeeeallllly impresssed.
Not.

“As a Sudanese, I am embarrassed by what took place over the previous few days. The majority of Sudanese are.”

I really don’t believe a majority are embarrased, I think this brave, young Sudanese man is in the minority.IMHO.

I’m gonna call that teddy bear place and request a “fuzzie wuzzie muzzie bear” to send to this guy for Christmas.

Really? I must have missed the mobs of machete wielding Christians calling for the deaths of "artists" who create portraits of Madonna from cow sh*t and immersing crucifixes in urine, not to say the least of atheists trying to excise every mention of religion from public life.

Some cultures are just not morally equivalent no matter how much some people pretend they are.

I also noticed the author seems to take pride in only Sudan's pre-Islamic accomplishments. Maybe there are no Islamic accomplishments in Sudan in which one can take pride.

Exactly what would embarrass a gaggle of semi-literate savages a month or two out of the stone-age?

[Ptarmigan]

Very brave of him. He will probably be marked for death. I wished a fatwa was called on people committing genocide in Darfur.

[blinachka]

The lunatics we saw protesting – and those who mobilized them – are a symptom of a dangerous global cancer. It must be staunchly challenged. If it isn’t, episodes like this one will become increasingly common not just in Sudan, but everywhere else in the world.

Exactly!!

We need more of this... LOTS more.

[Ptarmigan]

LMAO!

[Ptarmigan]

So funny!!!!!!

Wow, you are really something. It doesn't take "machete wielding Christians" to destroy our Constitutional rights, does it?
