Still, there are very few Christians in Darfur, if any. The article provides no population figures, no anecdotes, not even a guess at the number of Christians there are (or were) in Darfur. It's safe to say that there are some Christians in the region, but it's also safe to say that there are probably some Druids in Arlington, Texas.

As the article pointed out:

"The largest communion present in Darfur is the Roman Catholic Church, with 143,000 adherents. People also belong to the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, the Sudan Pentecostal Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the Episcopal Church of the Sudan."

That means that given even a miniscule 17,000 for other Christians in Darfur (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, though I don't have any legitimate reason to), the Christians in Darfur comprise a minium of 6% of the 2.5 million displaced and or under attack there. Yes, that is smaller than the Muslim's under attack - so what.

Why is the size of the Christian population there, and your need to minimize it, so important to you?
