I always tell my Sudanese acquaintances thinking of heading across the Atlantic in search of prosperity: "Here you experience poverty in terms of food and culture. In America you'll experience the worst misfortune that could ever befall you There you'll understand what it means to be a slave."

I wish that the Bishop of Rumbek thinking was clearer. First the Bishop equates 9/11 to what his people are suffering through, because of bad crops, and its resulting starvation. The Bishop just brushes over the food aid that America sends to these people but which the muslim war lords steal and keep for themselves to sell for profit.
|
 |
And then the Bishop ennobles the suffering of these people because it is caused by natural conditions and not by other men. But what what about the muslims stealing the food?
|
 |
But 9/11 which was caused by people acting consciously with the expressed purpose of murdering innocent people; the Bishop also declares as 'an act of G~d', solely because it it an act against the American people, even though it wasn't the rich and the powerful, but the people of America. John Paul II expressed grief over the terrorist attacks in Madrid and condemned them as "unjustifiable acts that offend God, violate the fundamental right to life, and undermine peaceful coexistence."

Even though he is Bishop of Rumbek, the Bishop is not thinking in terms of truth, he is not a good leader. The Bishop can accept and have mercy for muslims who crucify and maimed for life an innocent boy whom they had enslaved; yet the Bishop has no mercy for Americans who were just as innocently working for their living on 9/11.

Islamic people base their decisions only and exclusively on the umma. They don't even know what individual rights are. It's absurd to teach them the first amendment of the American Constitution, which says Congress can make no law to prohibit freedom of worship or to limit freedom of speech or the press. They have absolutely no comprehension of this." Q.- Is the shariah in full effect in Sudan? A.-"The fundamentalist government sustains it will only apply it to Islamic citizens. No one knows what will happen to an accused Christian, since the legal right to an attorney doesn't exist there". A.- "... It is the state that applies Koranic law most often. It cuts the hands and feet off of even non-Muslims and arrests them without evidence." A.-"You should note that my hair has turned white. The greatest punishment Arabs can inflict is oppression, a sense of falsity. If they can fool you, they do it with will all their might. " Q.- Is there slavery in Sudan? A. - "The government authorities swear there isn't. They went to say so at the United Nations, in Geneva. And yet my missions are full of former slaves. In 1990 I freed 150 of them personally, paying less than I would have for a full-breed dog: 50 dollars for females, 100 for males. I never did this again, since I realized that it could turn into a vicious circle, as they are then used as shepherds or sent to serve wealthy Arab families in Khartoum. And they force them to go to Koranic schools." |
