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?
Sorry, I misread your post, substituting "Sudan" for "Darfur" there. I haven't seen those numbers before but I see no reason for them to be wrong. Evangelical congregations in Africa are often described with inflated figures but the Catholic Church's records are very reliable. Given that, I would assume that most of these Christians are in Southern Darfur, probably, no?
I have no desire to minimize the Christian population's visibility in Darfur but I do resent posts on Darfur threads that paint Darfur as a land of oppressed Christians that need to be armed against the bloodthirsty Muslim hordes. Something about their tone makes me think that they would be less willing to work to keep Muslims from being murdered and that's an attitude I find very un-Christian.
not you, of course, but others. your contributions here are valuable and should be greatly appreciated.
