The unanimous goal of violent jihad groups around the world is to institute Islamic law, the Sharia.
Because of Sharia law in Sudan today, a 16-year-old boy named Mohamed Hassan Hamdan faces "judicial amputation" of his right hand and left foot, according to this Amnesty International report.
Why amputation of his right hand and left foot? He is accused of armed robbery. That has evidently been ruled to be "corruption in the land," as per this verse of the Qur'an: "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off . . ." (Sura 5:33).
Moreover, this punishment, AI says, "contravenes international human rights standards ratified by Sudan."
When we fight against global terrorism, this is what we are struggling against.

Here's a more optimistic article about Christians and Muslims attempting to forge closer ties in Sudan. I think it is great they are try to live together in peace!
