Slider, Where is Ray my favorite Islamic apologist??? The slave trade by Arab Muslim traders has escalated dramatically in East Africa in the last few months. Not to mention that the National Islamic Front Military Junta in the Sudan intends to crucify some Catholic Priests on trumped up charges. Did not Lou Farrakhan go to the Sudan and praise their "wise Islamic governing policies"??? please read the attached article. The contents has now been confirmed by UN officials. Again I want to stress to everyone what a very big danger to the entire world the Islamic Fundamentalists are. In reality they are nothing more than fascists- "Do what I say, deny your culture, or else I'll kill you or enslave you and give you an Arabic slave name"..... That my friends is the essence of fascism- and totally unacceptable in a modern society.... In reality the Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Mauretania are the greatest slave holding/trading nations of African slaves on the Earth. So do you want to lay some more of your propaganda on me now???? My offer to arrange for you to meet the African Representatives of the Sudan People's Liberation Army in Washington, DC so that you may hear the truth still holds. I'll also throw in a representative of the Governments of Kenya and Tanzania if you want to hear the sad history of the Arab imperialism and slave trade in east Africa from the African Nationals themselves.... Slider, Agreed. Indeed I hear a pretty credible rumor that SLB and HAL are considering a merger. The fact that they would control a big slice of the energy services market may deter them.... Rights group says Sudan priests face crucifixion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ Latest News From Sudan At Sudan.Net ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ News Article by REUTERS on December 04, 1998 at 13:29:32: Rights group says Sudan priests face crucifixion GENEVA, Dec 4 (Reuters) - A Swiss-based human rights group said on Friday two Sudanese Roman Catholic priests could face crucifixion if convicted on what it called trumped up charges of plotting against the Khartoum government. · The Zurich-based Christian Solidarity International (CSI) also appealed to United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson to look into a mass trial which began in the Sudanese capital in October. · In its letter to the former Irish president, made available at the U.N. European headquarters in Geneva, CSI said its urgent appeal related "to a threat of crucifixion that would horrify Christians worldwide and the international community." · "We are referring to the uncertain fate of two Sudanese priests, who could soon face crucifixion if convicted of trumped up charges of plotting against the regime that seized power in 1989," it added. · The Washington Post on Friday reported that Reverend Hillary Boma and another priest were on trial on charges of having set off almost a dozen bombs around Khartoum on June 30 in an alleged plot to mar official celebrations marking the ninth anniversary of the coup. · Father Boma, 57, is identified in the article as the chancellor of the Catholic archdiocese of Khartoum. · Sudan has blamed the bombings on the opposition alliance fighting the government for more independence in the mostly Christian and animist south from the Moslem, Arabised north. · Khartoum's treatment of Christians came under the spotlight a year ago when Washington imposed sanctions on Sudan citing denial of religious freedom among other reasons. Sudan rejects the charge. · In a statement on Wednesday, CSI appealed for the release of 137 women and children it said were among thousands of African women and children enslaved by National Islamic Front soldiers in the Darfur and Kordofan regions. The list of names includes babies just a few months old. · "The situation has dramatically worsened over the past months with the unprecedented famine contributing to this ghastly slave trade, one aspect of their jihad war," it said. · The group says that it has freed 4,016 slaves in southern Sudan, mainly Christian women and children and animists, since 1995.
