Muslim mob burns down Catholic church in Khartoum
2012-04-22
A Muslim mob has set on fire a Catholic church associated with the Southern Sudanese in the capital Khartoum. The church was built on a disputed plot of land but this incident appeared to be part of the fallout from the ongoing dispute between Sudan and South Sudan over control of an oil town on their poorly-defined border.

Witnesses said a mob of hundreds shouting insults torched the church. Fire engines could not put out the fire.

A newspaper, Al-Sahafah, said the church grounds included a school and dormitories. Ethiopian refugees living in Khartoum also used the church.

#1  No seething mobs of rioters in Rome demanding retribution. No solemn denunciation from World leaders seeking answers. Not even any mild outrage from social justice groups. Nope, none of that, just a matter of fact news feed with a collective shoulder-shrug. SighÂ…itÂ’s just those pesky African Muslims again. What ya gonna do?
LetÂ’s just hope no one dares draw an insulting cartoon.
