Sudanese Expert Warns Against Proselytization In Darfur
2004-07-29
Islam Online, put on your hipboots, it's deep.
Christian missionaries could flood Darfur under the guise of humanitarian relief in case of any foreign military intervention in the predominantly-Muslim region, a Sudanese expert warned Wednesday, July 28.
"Horrors! Jesuits! Franciscans! The Maryknoll Fathers! The Little Sisters of Mercy! Baptists! Episcopalians! Saaaaaave us!"
"Darfur has been the base of Islamic culture in Sudan for as many decades and is the only region in the country that has no Christians or churches," said Hassan Mekki, a member of the Sudanese Foreign Minister's advisory board.
Darfur, the 12,847th holiest place in Islam.
Speaking in a live dialogue with IslamOnline.net's audience, he warned against a feared wave of proselytization that could lead to a situation similar to what happened in the south. "Until 1919, there were no Christians in the south. Now, there are more than three million people embracing Christianity in the region due to active missionary work," Mekki said.
Says something for the power of choice, doesn't it?
"Southern Sudan has 28 churches, including 20 ones financed by American churches and the Orthodox Church financed by British Anglican church."
The horror!
The Anglicans are sponsoring an Orthodox Church? The ArchDruidBishop is a rather ecumenical fellow, eh?

#12  I fervently want the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. Unless something really drastic happens I don't believe I'll see it in my lifetime.

#11  Crazyfoot,

That is also an interesting point. Christians lay their lives down and give to whoever needs it, just look at the record. Look at all the Christian hospitals and schools and orphanages all over the world.

Muslim charities such as they are focus almost exclusively on other Muslims as long as they are deemed the deserving types. Muslim charity is based on the receipients deserving the charity. Muslim charities focus mostly on the deserving or righteous poor which basically amounts to other Muslims as long as they are in favor. Just look at the record. How many Muslim charities do you know of the same universal scope as the Christian ones?

Oh and i forgot. Muslims are awfully charitable to Western minorities especially if they are prisoners or soldiers. Of course if you call attention to the fact, they immediately mobilze a battalion from the local mosque to go feed some homeless people provided that the local news comes along.

They sure do love the attention.

#10  Must be all those bags of rice and grain which have:

'The Christian Church of Christ is feeding your children while Allen and your Imans plot their deaths'

printed all over them.

Sums up "Islamic culture" quite nicely.

#4   "Gee, if islam are such a great religion, why are you so worried about a little competition?"

Dang that is thought pervoking... A religon acting like a protected and subsidized cartel. I would predict that this would artifically raise the cost of entry into paradise.

Seriously anyone read anything about the use of economic models and religion?

#3  Peg,

That was also how I knew that we were on the right side of the Cold War. That wall in Berlin wasn't put up to keep the hordes from migrating west to east. Unwillingness to allow differing points of view shows weakness not strength.

#2  "Gee, if islam are such a great religion, why are you so worried about a little competition?"

Thank you. I have always wondered that myself. How strong can a religion be that must be protected by law from competition and which threatens people with death if they decide to abandon it?

Pitiful isn't it?

#1  "The expert pointed an accusation finger at British occupation of Sudan, ended in 1956, for allowing missionaries into the country in large numbers in what he described as "a bid to upset the demographic balance in the Arab Islamic country".

Can't be much more direct than that; Darfur will be "cleansed" of blacks, even black Muslims. The UN is complicit because their obligation to stop genocide is overridden by their fear of upsetting Arab Muslims. Just stop for a minute and think about the stacks of corpses in that place. Rantburgers, what are we going to do about this organization which is now not only inept and corrupt, but actually rubberstamping evil? Am I the only one who wants us out of this agency of genocide in the 21st century?
