Why shouldn't the Janjaweed being doing this? Nothing in Islamic law forbids the treatment of women who are considered war captives in this way. From Reuters, with thanks to cgiddensjr:
BEIRUT, Lebanon (Reuters) -- Arab militias in Sudan are gang-raping and abducting girls as young as eight and women as old as 80, systematically killing, torturing, or using them as sex slaves, an Amnesty International report said on Monday.Militias known as Janjaweed, which rights groups say are backed by the government, have been fighting rebels in Sudan's western Darfur region since last year, triggering one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
"When we tried to escape they shot more children," one woman identified only as A. told Amnesty researchers.
"They raped women, I saw many cases of Janjaweed raping women and girls. They are happy when they rape. They sing when they rape and they tell us that we are just slaves and that they can do with us how they wish."
As many as 30,000 people have been killed in Darfur and more than a million displaced, their homes bombed by government planes, their crops stolen.
In a report called "Rape as a Weapon of War," Amnesty outlines sexual violence against women it says is happening on a massive scale. It says Khartoum is actively violating its legal obligations to protect civilians.
"Soldiers of the Sudan government army are present during attacks by the Janjaweed and when rapes are committed, but the Sudan government has done nothing so far to stop them," Amnesty researcher Benedicte Goderiaux told a news conference.
Darfur's rebels accuse the government of arming the Arab Janjaweed to loot and burn African villages in a campaign of ethnic cleansing. Khartoum denies the charge.
The Sudan embassy in Beirut said in a statement that the Amnesty report was aimed at defaming the government, distorting Arab culture and driving a wedge between Sudan's ethnic groups.
Distorting Arab Culture? After watching a show on the History Channel about private armies, wouldn't it be prudent to send them in and kill these pigs? This is genocide, no matter what kind of spin these lying, spineless Sudanese want to label it. Kofi Annan is a piece of trash as far as I'm concerned, and a weak human being on top of that.
Sadist, sadistic barbarians that need to be sent into the next life......
Koffi must be horribly upset by the actions of the muslims in sudan...
sarcasm off.
I perused the CAIR website today. Maybe some of you can look, but I don't see any mention of the Sudan atrocities being addressed on their site. Someone please let me know if they find any mention about Sudan and the genocide being committed there on CAIR's site.
I'm very interested in knowing their position on this. I see that they have room for an anti-prison torture campaign, but was unable to find anything on the Sudan issue. Maybe I just didn't look deep enough.
Everything is going according to UN plan, no need for Alarm.... The UN is after all, pro- Islam.
Don't worry, they have observers there, watching the murder. Expect a report in about 10 years, and a speach by Kofi Annan at a memorial...
Heaven forbid if the USA went in and put a stop to this genocide. The loony left will just accuse Bush of invading and toppling a legitamate government, while the French and Germans sit on their asses doing nothing, except eploiting what they can out of the region, or giving arms to the jihadists.
What is happening in the Sudan should be one of the most reported and talked about international issue in our news...
In my opinion it warrants withdrawing diplomatic staff and sending troops...
No blood for oil, just anti-Jihad and protection of the innocent. But, by the way, take the Sudan and you will be awash in it.
The press continues to portray this and other jihadist conflicts as ethnic conflicts. They do a disservice to our generation by their obvious obfuscation of the truth. But, hey, if Peter Jennings says its so...
Also, The Sudanese government has close ties to Osama bin Laden. He even deposited 500 million in a Sudanese bank to cover the government's checks. The Janjaweed may be a direct result of his training and influence. Violence begets violence.
Another fine example of the religion of peace at
work! Are the Jihadis doing this because they are sexually oppressed? Maybe allah told them to.
Dont these people make you wanna puke?
Bring back the flamethrower!!!!
Another fine example of Islam, the "religion of peace" at work in the world.
Unfortunately this is nothing new.The "Muslims" have been using rape as a weapon of war for centuries,since the days of Mohammed.
How many more people must be brutalized, tortured and killed in the name of Islam, before the western world wakes up and undertakes the necassary action to eliminate this "Evil" scourge from the face of the earth.
They who harm the harmless
Or hurt the innocent,
Ten times shall they fall-
Into torment or infirmity,
Injury or disease or madness,
Persecution or fearful accusation,
Loss of family,loss of fortune.
Fire from Heaven shall strike their house
And when their bodys have been struck
down,
They shall rise up in Hell.
The Lord saw much evil,
so he cleansed the of earth wicked,
and they were no more...
Blessed are those who see evil,and try to stop it,

DC Watson :I've never seen so much as a MENTION of
Darfur on any Islamic sites I visit. Once there was a small piece on Al Jazeera talking about' due to the Rebels etc,' certainly not a breath of condemnation. No, rest of Muslims remains SILENT on
Darfur : it's as though place doesn't exist.Actually, we should challenge these sites on to what is their views about Darfur... Also Leftist groups. Notice BBC actually says 'Islamist
Militants' today about shooting of an entire Policeman's family in Kashmir.
As to that rotten government in Khartoum, probably
soldiers are joining in the raping...This has been going on for so long and it's heartbreaking.
Makes you want to grab a rifle and go out and shoot Janjaweed,eh!
Morgane,
Thank You
Blessed are those that see evil and try to stop
Blessed are those that see evil and try to destroy it
Blessed are those who lose their life to save the
innocent

There is a reason for the worlds inaction.
As we are all told the moslems & the arabs are the real victims they can only ever be the victims.
we know because the bbc/gaurdian/independent etc tell us "those wicked israelis/jews" they have built a wall, they have committed ethnic cleansing.
If the sudan was reported every day it would distract the world from the israel situation.
When are people going to stand up and take action?
Who is going to fire that first shot?
You see, this is the problem. What needs to be done is organize a few million people who will march and demand action, or take action.

We send E Mails, inform friends, leave messages-we
try!Tragic fact is that ONLY when there's another
attack will those millions start demanding change.
Was on a terrorist site - how I hate those black flags - there was a horrible picture of a site
target with photos beneath - am sure Intelligience
knows - with American flag burning. How we all pour over this creepy stuff hoping for some clue to where next strike will be...
Unfortunatly Morgane,
you are right, only when there is another attack.
will people learn.
Although I would regret the loss of life.
What it may take is a 9/11 or madrid type attack in the UK/France/Germany/one of those silly little european dhimmi countries.
Then the gloves would be off.
If an equal number of white non moslems had been killed as have black christians in the sudan then I think the matter would have been resolved.
Surely there are western mercenaries who can fight with the african christians/moslems against the arabs.
Surely there are wealthy american christians who can pay for it !
Isnt it odd that we never hear a comment from our resident muslims on topics like this....guess its kind of hard to defend the rape of innocent women and children...even if the koran encourages it.
They are defending this on their own talkboards where they think no one can see them. . .they engage in taqqiya and kitman and pretend to be horrified by this stuff when they are on our talkboards.
For years the Left have been excusing Islamic terror by saying it's because their "poor Muslim brothers in Palestine are oppressed by the Israelis" - so , in that case, it's now OK for Christians around the world to explode car bombs in Arab cities, burn Mosques in western countries and even fly planeloads of muslim civilians into buildings because of what the Arabs are doing to our Christian and pagan brothers and sisters in the Sudan ?
