Boy who was 'crucified' by Muslim |
A Sudanese slave who was assigned to watch his Muslim master's camels was "crucified" when he was caught sneaking out to attend a Christian church, according to reports from Voice of the Martyrs.
The aid organization that helps persecuted Christians worldwide said the reports come from witnesses in the Sudan who were in contact with the youth, now about 15.
Damare Garang was seven when the attack happened, officials said. He had been captured by Islamic soldiers when his Sudanese village was attacked, and then sold as a slave to a Muslim family in Tuobon, Bahr el Gazel.
His duties were to tend the master's camels, but one day one fled.
"How could you do this? You will surely have to pay! You stupid slave, I should just kill you now," he was told.
However, the child escaped any injuries at that point.
Then the following day Damare, who had been raised in a Christian family, sneaked away for a time to a small church service across the village.
His master was waiting when he returned.
"Where have you been?" he was asked, and partly from fear and partly from not having another answer, he said, "to church."
"You have made two grave mistakes," the slave master said. "Yesterday you lost one of my camels, and today you worship with infidels!"
The master went to a barn and returned with a large board, some rusty spikes and a hammer, the report said.
"Frozen in fear, Damare was dragged out to the edge of his master's compound where he was forced to the ground with his legs over the board," the VOM report said. "The savage brutality of the master was unleashed as he proceeded to drive the long nails through Damare's knees and then nail his feet securely onto the board."
While Damare was screaming in agony, the slave master simply walked away.
The boy's help arrived in the form of a Good Samaritan who happened by, and saw the small boy. The man sneaked into the compound and carried the boy to a hospital where the board and nails were removed.
Damare later was released to the custody of his helper, with whom he lived for the next 18 months.
Once again, then, there was a militia attack on his village, and he was separated from his protector. When the Islamic army soldiers were driven off, a commander of village forces recognized Damare's speech as being of the Dinka tribe, and took charge of him.
That commander eventually adopted Damare, who now lives in Mario Kong.
He remains disappointed he is unable to run quickly like other boys, but he says he's forgiven his attacker, because Jesus was nailed to a cross to forgive all sins.
"Before leaving, we gave Damare a care package with mosquito netting, soap, new clothing, shoes, a hat, a new Bible, a soccer ball, and a fishing line and hooks," said the VOM report by Tom Zurowski.
"Please tell the Christian children in America to remember to pray for the children of Sudan," Damare told his visitors.
BTTT
You failed to thoroughly read the entire "lesson", my fellow FReeper. Please examine paragraph two.
Muslims, unlike bullies, believe that it is their duty to punish ALL who oppose Allah.
If you don't destroy them, they'll just end up running the world. No thanks. I'm not Christian but I know enough about Christianity to know that adherents of any sane version of it aren't commanded to turn the world over to violent Muslim extremists.
I do believe that God allows for self-defence.
Christians haven't turned the world over to violent Muslims. Governments made up of either Muslims or complacent leaders who are without courage and conviction are largely responsible (recent protests in France come to mind.)
Furthermore, our countries history is painted with the blood of Christians who made great sacrifices in order to establish a nation free from religious tyranny.
Bullies are usually made up of cowards, drunkards, or both. Muslims arent necessarily either. Bullies enjoy intimidating and or beating people simply because they have nothing better to do. This can also give them the false impression that they are tough. It is purely self-inflation.
Muslims, on the other hand, believe that it is their duty and calling of Allah to punish infidels.

No, true that. Differences we can scarcely fathom. And how people here fail to see that.
I'm not going to go off on slavery and islam again. I've had enough of this evil cult...
PING
bttt
Careful???
Maybe you should be careful.
You are equating Voice of the Martyrs (the boots on the ground Christian ministry that reported this account) with the propaganda arm of the lowest kind of racist organizations... WHO'S PUBLICATIONS YOU USED TO READ AS A KID???
Lemme guess.
We're supposed to believe you're a reformed Skinhead. Or were you a youthful crusader against Nazi's as a youth.
Does the word crusader bother you?
Are you really a poser who is here to posts Muslim defenses now and again? (You're from big Muslim Detroit after all.)
I can't thank you for this ping USF...I'm sick to my stomach and you already KNOW what I want to say!
HHMMmmm....
That's the same sentiment the Muslim's have for us!
Now I get it.
It is a Religion of Peace if you are a Muslim.
It is a Religion of War if you are an Infidel.
Muslims do not care what Infidels think, therefore it is a Religion of Peace.
It finally makes sense.
You have just hit the nail on the head! As Santayana reminds us: "Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it."
As Americans, we must WAKEUP and do it soon! We must enact laws that will inhibit the further immigration of Muslims to our country. In his book, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam, the Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat , Peter Hammond notes:
The persecution of Christians by Muslims has become a taboo subject in Western circles. Over thirteen centuries of religious discrimination and persecution, causing the suffering, oppression, murder and enslavement of countless millions has been buried under a thick whitewash of myths of Islamic tolerance. The deceit, cowardice and silence of all too many Western journalists and academics continues to facilitate the religious discrimination and persecutions of radical Muslims to this day.The intellectual dishonesty of those Westerners who engage in academic gymnastics to justify the invasion of other people's lands; the looting, pillaging, raping, murdering and enslaving of whole peoples, needs to be exposed. The hypocrisy of those who justify the military aggression of Muslims, but condemn those who inflicted defeats upon these Muslim invaders needs to be challenged. The fiction that Jihad has never been an aggressive, but only a defensive concept, should be dismissed with the contempt that such deception deserves. What were Saudi Arabians defending in Spain?
He also provides a timeline of how immigrant Muslims slowly progress in imposing their Sharia laws on their adopted country. (Sorry, I have that timeline at work.) It is absolutely frightening! They begin slowly and 'peacefully', asking for equal rights. (We've seen this in Michigan, where they were successful in having one community enact legislation allowing them to erect a loudspeaker on their local mosque to call Muslims to prayer. Meanwhile, the christian churches are now banned from sounding their carillons. The next law they will seek to pass is that of having foods labeled as 'halal'. And it progresses slowly from there. He cites examples of countries that have accomodated these 'small' requests and how, over the course of time, the demands grow, along with the violence - i.e. the riots in Paris this year.
Proportionately speaking, here in the US, the Muslim population is still small enough that we have not had to deal with riots. But these prayerful Muslims reproduce like rabbits in order to grow their ranks and justify their demands. It is just a matter of time.
What can we do to stop this?
I struggle with the sentiment. The problem I see is that these are not rational people, the so-called moderates are unable to exert any control and Westerners have started to self-censor (witness the events in Germany over the opera; just one instance in many) so that islamists aren't offended and chop off some poor artist's head (or stab them to death as in Holland). The problem is these people are always offended. Many of them are very ignorant of the rest of the world, are easily led, and operate on an emotional level that I think Americans find difficult to comprehend. They don't think. They send their children out to kill and they're willing to take their own babies on a plane to be killed. Personally, I think any efforts to placate or compromise with them are wasted.
Is it wrong to wish them all dead? Probably. I've known muslims. I have a muslim classmate. I'm not blind to the feelings I have about individuals. But in the face of the utter madness of islam, I don't know what I can do but wish them all of off the face of the earth. My world, and yours too, would be a better, safer, place w/o them.
The Religion of Peace holds 600 million female slaves.
