What makes Darfur, Sudan "genocide"?

[amor]

The victims are also Muslims.

And the perpetrators are Muslims - Arab Muslims to be specific - racist Arab Muslims.

Can you handle that?

I'm well aware of that. Why do you think it should be something I would deny? I'm very aware of the nastiness of the Khartoum regime and the disaters in Dahrfour and in the South of Sudan, and their support of the barbaric "Lord's Resistance Army" in Uganda.

Just couldn't resist throwing in a remark about a sudo-christian organization, could you amor? I'm beginning to wonder about your Judeo-Christian positions.

It appalls me that western countries are not moving in and stopping this. We all deplore racism and genocide and yet there are people being systematically eliminated because they are black. And, of course, once again the perpetrators of this carnage are muslim (the true Neo-Nazis). It's been going on for, what? Ten years or so? How is this any different from the eradication of Jews from Europe sixty five years ago?

The victims are also Muslims. As to Nazis and neo-Nazis well the real Nazis were from a "Christian" country (don't forget we have a Pope who is a former Hitler youth member) and the Neo-Nazs where I live (the BNP) also spend their time waving crosses and attacking Muslims, Jews and anybody with dark skin. Evil doesn't respect denominational/sectarian/religious boundaries

No one is disputing that the victims are muslim. The point is that they are black and this is why they are being killed. It's curious that a supposed Christian consistently posts anti-Christian rhetoric. Unless, of course, you're posing as a Christian to further your views on a Christian board.

As a Christian I'm appalled by what has been done and continues to be done in the name of Jesus. I think it needs to be highlighted and renounced, not covered up for or apologised for. We need to stand alongside the victims of violence and hat in a non-selective way, not join the chorus of hate. "Muslims" are not automatically evil anymore than "Christians" are, they are not all "Neo-Nazis".

The Nazis of two generations ago, and the muslims of today, have the same agenda, amor. Exactly what is being done 'in the name of Jesus' in 2009 that is so appalling to you?

Because you were more interested in jabbing at Christians than you were expressing any form of displeasure at the oppressors in Darfur.

Oh yawn yawn! we should only highlight certain aspects of the nastiness Sudanese regime then. I don't accept that that has any validity at all. Here's a link to ann article on the vile LRA and its links with the Sudanese government.

And presumably we should turn a blind eye to nastiness close at home and instead focus on finding fault in others. We need to always look at ourselves.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye

The Lord's Resistance Army?

"Travel the Road" had an episode that spoke of that group as well. They are as demonic as they get.

I don't know who their "lord" is, but it sure isn't Jesus.

I've heard of this movement before. They are Christians, some of them, but it's not a Christian radical movement. Their aims are political. What is the purpose of even posting this? The people on the ground in Darfur and surrounding areas are witness to the fact that it's the Janjaweed who are carrying out the genocide. You seem to be trying to minimize the fact that this is a muslim crime against humanity. Why?

Then why don't you focus on the evil in your own home instead of across the Atlantic Ocean?

Goodness gravy, amor! Are we supposed to bury our heads in the sand to the evils in the world?

Really, I didn't post this to be Muslim-bashing. Nor to get into a debate about who is more evil in this world.

I posted this because this episode had a deep impact on me. We should be on our knees in intercession for these things going on in Africa.

And what do you do? Tell us to leave them bleeding on the side of the road?

Says who? How in Heaven or Earth could anyone who follows Jesus join themselves with such evil?
