The new constitution will be a deliberate U-turn from the interim one that respected "the cultural and social diversity of the Sudanese people," at least on paper. Wherever Sharia law experiences a revival, tolerance decreases, and persecution, harassment, and abuses of human rights increase.
Bashir is already wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide in Darfur, but protected by the African Union and Arab League with the support of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (formerly the Organization of the Islamic Conference). His plans for the remainder of Sudan after the south's independence amount to cultural genocide (with some of the old fashioned kind likely to follow), with a stated plan of linguistic and cultural Arabization to accompany the imposition of Sharia law.
"Bashir says Sudan will adopt Islamic constitution," from Reuters, October 13:
KHARTOUM - Sudan will go ahead with plans to adopt an entirely Islamic constitution and strengthen Islamic law, President Omar Hassan al-Bashir said on Wednesday, three months after its former civil war enemy South Sudan became independent.
Juba seceded on 9 July after a referendum agreed under a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war between the mainly Muslim north and the South where most follow Christian and traditional beliefs.
Bashir had said in December that Sudan would adopt an Islamic constitution if Juba seceded but many southerners had hoped he would not deliver on this.
His comments will add to uncertainty for more than a million southerners who still live in the north and are now treated legally as foreigners. Khartoum has given them until spring to leave or obtain the legal right to stay, a complicated process.
"Ninety-eight percent of the people are Muslims and the new constitution will reflect this. The official religion will be Islam and Islamic law the main source (of the constitution)," Bashir told students in Khartoum in a speech.
"We call it a Muslim state," said Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes in Darfur.
The 2005 peace deal set up an interim constitution which limited Islamic law to the north and recognized "the cultural and social diversity of the Sudanese people"....
Then I say that the Sudanese should all stay in Sudan. We don’t need that here. Too many of them have drifted into jihad around here.
Muslims, meet the Muslims! They’re a modern stoneage family.
From the, town of Mecca, They’re a page right out of history.
Let’s ride, with the family down the street, Through the courtesy of Abdul’s feet.
When you’re, with the Muslims, Have a yabba dabba doo time, beheading too, time, You’ll have a gay old time!
Funny...
No surprise here. And really no excuse for any southerners still in the north to stay there. Unless they leave now, their fate is either to be persecuted, then slaughtered, or just slaughtered.
Conversely, to make room for them, the south should expel all Muslims to the north. Though since the north will rapidly descend into a Taliban style abattoir, the south should do them a Christian favor and allow them to stay, if they convert to Christianity.
“You want to be a Muslim, go live with other Muslims. If you want to become a Christian, you can stay with the civilized people.
Then they will stone you to death.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
The reality is weirder. Many US Muslims are here specifically to get away from “real” Islam. They don’t want to be around Muslim tyrants, fanatics and Sharia law. This is happening in several places around the world as well.
Even in the ME, there is now a discreet effort to create a much more non-violent form of Islam, fully aware that to do so they will both have to be incredibly hypocritical, and also that the fanatics will want to kill them as heretics.
In Africa, the light has dawned for vast numbers of black African Muslims, seen as nothing more than slaves by Arabs, and they are converting to Christianity at the first opportunity, usually Anglicanism.
LOL!! Very good! Very clever. When the health care thing with Obama care was going on I did my own rendition of the whole mess to the tune of ‘O Susana’’. Went kinda like... “Well you’ve read it on the inter-net/you’ve seen it on TV/ the nations in a mighty mess from the doings in DC. / O Obama, oh won’t you pay for me/’cuz I need me lot’s of health care and I need it immediately/ Obama spins a crooked tale/and Pelosi she does lie/and if this stupid bill goes through/we can kiss our jobs goodbye(repeat chorus). Anyhoo, it went something like that. I never did come up with a third verse though.
