Before I start, I must let you know that I am too a moslem from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. I have lost faith in this Islamic Religion. Moslem Arabs have no respect for African moslems. Most of our people in the Nuba are moslems. In Southern Sudan, most of the people there are christans. But regardless, the Nuba people and South Sudanese are faing the same brutal fire of this so called ISLAMIC Jihad, declared by Arab Sudanese with full support and backing of the Arab World. My tribe the Nuba people are an independeant and proud people but in less than 7 years the Arab Islamic government have decimated our people(tribe) from 1.5 million strong to less than 250,000, although 70% of us are moslem. On the other hand 4 million Southerners were killed either by man-made starvation, chemical gas attacks, anthrax, or by the bullet. For years the Arab world designed and tested their chemical and biological weapons on our people.
Yes the war in Sudan is a Jihad against christians, animist and African moslems. We are being killed together with the Southerners because we stood up to the Arabs in support of our brothers in the South. We stood up to the Arabs because we are also facing the same injustices given to the Southerners. Arabs have no respect for black people and they hate us regardless of moslem or not, you are a slave. I am therefor appealing to my moslem brothers to come to our rescue and I hope they would seriously consider condemning and put pressure on Arab slavery and racism in Sudan, Mauritania and the whole of North Africa.
We are a proud and warrior people. We are capable of defending our selves and we take great pride in our culture and tradition. Our people have fought the arab mujaheedin invasion of Africa since the 7 century. But we are growing weaker and weaker everyday. We can no longer resist the continuel Arab invasion because they are now using modern weapons, Chemical gas, jet fighters and helicopter gunships. Even a proud warrior can do nothing when the arabs attack our villages and rape our women and take some of them slaves. We can only stand and watch and weep for the curse that have befallen us. Yes, some of our people are primitives, most of them are uneducated and live in mud houses, but regardless of that we did not bother anyone. We live in our primitive culture and some will call it backwardness in peace. We did not go to Arabia and enslave them. Why then do they come to our land and enslave us? Why do they kill us in the name of this psychotic Jihad. Why do they kill us in the name of Islam? Why, why and why? If the war continues and Africans and African Americans stand by and watch and do nothing, then in the next coming 7-8 years, there will be no more Africans left in the Sudan. We will perish and go to our graves angry at all black people for not helping us.
We have lost too many people, more than in Bosnia, Afgahnistan, Rwanda and east Timor combined. Too many that it makes me sick of Arabs. I am so angry. I am angery at all Africans for not coming to the rescue of their brothers in the Sudan. I am angry at African Americans for not coming to the rescue of Africans in the Sudan. African Americans campaigned vigorously for our Brothers in South Africa during the apartheid regime. I am so angry at Jesse Jackson for keeping silent becasue he is afraid of offending the Arabs. I am angry at the Nation of Islam for denying the existence of slavery In Sudan and Africa. I am angry at Minister Farakhan for turning a blind eye and deaf ear, even though he Farakahn personnally went to Sudan in 1995-98 and saw the atrocities there with his own eyes.
What is even more saddening is the behavior of some members of the Nation of Islam. Whenever we try to make our case known to the World, and to Americans, we are attacked be the Nation of Islam and the American Muslim Council, Islamic council of America and the various moslem organizations in America and Canada. They accuse us of being anti- islam and anti- arab. They want us to keep quite and to not speak. If we try to demonstrate around the World, for e.g in Washington, the American Muslim Council harasses as and counter demonstrate. It is like, they want to commit atrocities against our people, but we must just sit tight and die without making our case known.
Minister Louis Farrakhan went to Sudan and we showed him everything there. He was so upset to learn about the Arab slavery in my country and he promised to make African Americans aware. But when he came to the US, he betrayed us. In a speech after his return from Sudan, Farakhan denied the existences of slavery in Sudan and instead attacked and accused the Africans of Sudan. In one of his speeches Farakkhan said “'They ( Sudanese Africans) are not like us.' Farrakhan asserted, while pointing at his skin color. 'But they are Black, Black, ---, (the word black repeated 11 times)' according to the recorded speech”. He dismissed and declared the intensity of the war (now more than 4 million African Sudanese died according to conservative estimate) as something brought about by a bunch of African rebels in the Sudan.
This behavior is further practiced with impunity by the various Nation of Islam members such as Cedric Muhammad of the Blackelectorate and by the Final call.
I know Islam as I have lived in North Africa. Islam is a political system much more than a religion and ignornace of it will ultimately bring horror, death and enslavement to all non-believers.
With the singular exception of a cunning, intelligent, and heartless leadership, the 1.2 billion Muslims are keeped in ignorance about the world and truth, made to feel victimized, and are motivated through fear, indoctrination, and intimidation.
Islam is no joke but is a threat to all civilized people.
They sure are hard to find.
The war in the Sudan is no secret. Why haven't we been arming the Sudanese Christians like we armed the mujahaddin? Inquiring minds want to know.
Maybe Ann Coulter was correct. Invade their countries, kill the terrorists and convert them to Christianity!
For your information, blacks have been capturing and enslaving other blacks to sell to still other blacks since recorded history....Yes..right up to the present day.
Messers Farakan, Jackson, and the rest of this traveling circus of nincompoops should begin addressing slavery TODAY by going to Sudan, for example,where it is still a going and profitable "business" for black people.
This is just a fact, sir.
The Arabic/Muslim radicals get their resources from oil money. They use this to do as the article said. What the Sudanese Muslims have actually done in southern Sudan is no different from what the nazis did to jews and others during ww2. Yet, it is accepted.
On college campuses in America today anyone who wishes to speak about the genocide where millions have been killed will be told that the only reason they're concerned about this issue is because they're a christian concerned with christian issues, therefore the person complaining about the genocide is ignored, put down and insulted. This actually happens in American universities today.
The Sudanese government has sent raiding parties into Uganda and other african nations and taken large quantities of children back to be slaves. They target christian villages of course. So, sophistocated Americans look the other way, after all only christians and other bigots are concerned with it, I'm not kidding you that's the attitude of the American elite.
Sudan gets some of its money due to a Canadian company that develops gas and other resources in Sudan. The Canadian company has provided this expertise and money knowing full well that a genocide has been occurring for over 20 years in this country, knowing full well that their profits would be used to systematically kill people in the south who have black skin and usually christian sentiments.
There is a move in the US congress to make it impossible for this Canadian company to sell stocks or otherwise raise financing in the United States. The Democrats overwhelmingly support this legislation. The Republicans overwhelmingly oppose it. Shame on the Republicans.
Most blacks are hip to this. But blacks who changed their Christian names to Muslim names and celebrate Kwanza are deluded, and have fallen for another CIA-backed insurgency.
There ARE righteous Crusades. Just ask those heart-breakingly young Sudanese about the world they've seen.
I have been wondering about that ever since I first heard about the enslavement of the South Sudan Christians by the muslims. But we must not forget those Christians who have already been enslaved. Organizing and supporting a guerrilla war to liberate the Southern part of the Sudan must include efforts to liberate and repatriate those who have already been enslaved, which will be a difficult task.
Not to mention the fact that muslims do not respect other people's holidays when it comes to fighting a war.
Anyway, I heard on news yesterday that Rumsfeld says we're not going to stop bombing during Ramadan.
I am glad to hear it. After all, we did not respect the religious holidays of the Serbian Orthodox Church during the bombing campaign under Clinton a few years back.
George Washington didn't hesitate to attack the Hessians on Christmas Day during the Battle of Trenton.
If it's good enough for George, it's good enough for me. You gotta do what you gotta do.
I'm not!
