Thanks for the link.

I thought I knew Wallis, having followed his "career" for several decades.

This was illuminating, even to me.

Any credibility Wallis had, even as a Christian with whom I disagreed, was lost when he refused to take up the issue of the Sudanese Christians (who were also under threat of genocide) during the 1980s and 90s.

Apparently only Muslims in Africa are suitable subjects for his concern.

Let me tell you something else, learned experientially first hand after living in Africa: the problem is not poverty of the flesh, it is poverty of the soul.

Only when the spirit of Christ, and his call for Holiness are imbedded within the African culture will they begin to overcome the devastating poverty of the flesh.

Every time I see/hear the "Save Darfur" commercials, I can hardly
restrain myself from loudly screaming:
"Where the h-ll were you people when Christians and animists
are getting slaughtered in Africa???"

I feel sorry for the black Muslims of Darfur, but understand full
well those ads are just Democratic National Party ads to bash
Dubya.

I suspect that liberals like Wallis have never read
"Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa " by Keith Richburg.
