The US charge d’affaires in Khartoum, Joseph D Stafford, resigned from his post after he converted to Islam, Sudanese local media sources said.
Stafford told the foreign ministry that his resignation was made for "personal reasons" but Sudanese sources claimed that the envoy was forced to resign after he turned to Islam.
Sources said that Stafford has recorded visits to the headquarters of Ansar al-Sunnah in Sudan and established a close relationship with a number of Sudanese clerics through these visits.
The U.S. State Department has not made any statement to confirm or deny the news on Joseph Stafford.
After his resign, Stafford published an article in the Sudan Tribune and said, "My wife and I have been very fortunate to meet so many wonderful people throughout Sudan who share a strong desire and willingness to improve their communities. We will always remember you and your compelling country, and I know you will continue your hard work for a better life, just as you say daily 'Fi Kulu Harakah Baraka' (Arabic for 'in every move there is a blessing').”
The U.S. has not appointed an ambassador to its embassy in Khartoum since 1998 and has kept its representation there at charge d’affaires despite Sudan’s demand that it be upgraded.

Just another a$$hat that will burn in hell for worshipping the moon god.
One of the “Won’s” own.
A visiting pastor at our church had a good phrase “Dead gods don’t speak.”
The pastor grew up as a muslim (in the US) but converted to Christianity and is now a pastor. Said he prayed to the moon god for years and never heard anything back.
No, this entire administration is comprised of Khartoum characters.
Who did the forcing requires clarification.
If the Muslims forced him to resign, I would not be surprised.
If the Obama administration forced him to resign because he went Muslim, I would be astounded for two reasons: 1) Obama and Kerry don’t do “force” very well; and 2) they would more likely promote the guy to full ambassador as a reward for converting. If the US did the forcing, there is more to this than a conversion to Islam. Planted cover story?
Sounds like he was expecting a voice in his head...
reading over the State bio for this guy makes me believe he just “went native.” That happens at several levels. A person living in a foreign location or, as in this, case dealing with Islam, over a long period of time becomes one of them.

Perhaps you had to be there. His point was that a billion muslims pray to a dead god. Another billion Hindus pray to millions of dead gods plus those who worship Buddha.
All of those people are worshipping the dead. The dead cannot do anything.
My God is alive. He speaks to me through the Holy Spirit.
Was this before or after he offered to bomb the US Embassy and behead all its occupants in the name of world peace?
