Interesting link ... from it

"Not all groups agree on how we are interpreting the sharia, but we believe there is wide latitude. We have chosen a moderate way, like the Koran itself, and so the sharia in Sudan will be moderate."

"There is also no doubt that the Sudanese model is under attack for its moderate interpretation of Islam. In February, 1994, for example, extremist gunmen opened fire in the al-Thwarah mosque in Omdurman, Sudan. They killed nineteen people and wounded twenty others. 'New African' magazine reported that the Muslim extremists involved "showed that they did not think that the government of General Omar Al-Bashir was sufficiently fundamentalist for them."



??? Fanatic Islamics killing people ( other muslims ) who don't agree with them ??? Who'da thunk it ?

If they were smart, surely they'd exile the moderate Muslims so they wouldn't have that violence. /sarc
