“The police were trying to claim, ‘This group doesn’t belong to us and we don’t know where they came from,’” Thomas said. “But they were all in uniform and using guns and [police] cars.”
From Compass Direct:
ISTANBUL, January 10 (Compass Direct News) – Sudanese police have denied attacking 800 Christians at a New Year’s Eve service at Khartoum’s Anglican cathedral and injuring six members of the congregation, the church priest said.Canon Sylvester Thomas of All Saints Cathedral told Compass that officers firing tear gas into the church claimed they were trying to apprehend a man involved in a stabbing.
Church staff registered a case with local police on January 2, but officials have not established who carried out the attack that caused US$7,000 damage, Thomas said.
“The police were trying to claim, ‘This group doesn’t belong to us and we don’t know where they came from,’” Thomas said. “But they were all in uniform and using guns and [police] cars.”
A police spokesman in Khartoum contacted by Compass refused to comment on the attack.
Sudanese Vice President Salva Kiir, a southern Christian, publicly called for the church attackers to be punished yesterday in Juba.
Kiir’s comments came in a nationally televised speech when he and northern President Omar Al-Bashir met to commemorate the second anniversary of a peace deal that ended the nation’s 21-year civil war between northern Islamists and southern Christian, Muslim and animist factions.
During the ceremony, broadcast live on Sudan TV, Kiir and Bashir criticized each other openly for blocking implementation of the peace agreement and the sharing of oil revenues.
Beaten with Whips
No government official from the north, where the Islamist regime holds power, has openly commented on the church attack.
The governor of Khartoum has yet to respond to a protest letter from the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) Bishop of Khartoum, the Rt. Rev. Ezekiel Kondo, who was among those attacked on January 1.
In the letter, Bishop Kondo noted that members of the Cathedral had felt threatened by police cars parked outside the cathedral all day prior to the attack. “Most of the officers were of high rank,” the letter said.

Happy New Year. Might as well start off with a little fun and make sure the Dhimmmis know where they stand. mo-slimes are taught to lie through their teeth as one facit of taquiya, so is anyone really surprised that they are "Shocked! Shocked" to find this happening? Ahh Bogey where are you when we need ya?

Muslim MPs seek separate IITs, IIMs
Shubhajit Roy
Posted online: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 at 0409 hours IST
New Delhi, December 19: In a significant development after the tabling of the Sachar report, Muslim MPs, cutting across party lines, today handed over a wishlist of sorts to Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh: IITs and IIMs exclusively for Muslims, 5,000 schools, 2 lakh scholarships and more campuses of the Aligarh Muslim University across the country.
The wishlist came from some 10 Muslim MPs who were called for an interaction at the Indian Islamic Cultural Centre in the Capital. The meeting was also attended by HRD Minister of State Mohd Ali Ashraf Fatmi and senior officials. Sources pointed out that despite the low turnout of Muslim MPs — only 10 out of 50-plus showed up — there was active participation.
Fatmi, who heads the HRD Ministry’s high-level committee on Muslim education, told The Indian Express: “There was frank discussion with the MPs, ranging from primary to higher education. They came up with interesting ideas.” Sources said the MPs asked for setting up 2,000 Kendriya Vidyalayas (Central Schools) exclusively for Muslim children, of which 1,000 should be for boys and another 1,000 for girls.
Since Muslim girls have a poor track record in primary education, the MPs demanded 3,000 residential schools for Muslim girls on the lines of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas. They asked for setting up of four campuses each of Aligarh Muslim University and Maulana Azad National Urdu University across the country and scholarships for 2 lakh Muslim students, especially in higher education, so that needy students can study.
A senior HRD official, present at the meeting, said, “The MPs said since IITs and IIMs have less than 2 per cent of Muslim students, the HRD Ministry should create IITs and IIMs exclusively for Muslim children.” Urdu schools, they also demanded, should be given adequate infrastructure support. “Minority-run societies and NGOs, if they wish to open schools, should be given CBSE affiliation without any delay,” an MP demanded. The MPs said that these suggestions should get reflected in the forthcoming budget as well as the Eleventh Plan. The HRD Ministry panel on Muslim education is expected to submit a report by January 31.

"Anyone familiar with the current situation in Poland would not be surprised to read that when Father Stanislaw Wieglus was forced to resign as archbishop of Warsaw because of disclosures that he had collaborated with Communist intelligence, "some of his supporters shouted that 'Jews' were trying to destroy the church" (New York Times 01/08/2007 PA6).
In Poland today, as in years past, there are some who insist on blaming the Jews for everything bad, although nearly all of Poland's Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
The prime villain perpetuating this myth is Cardinal Jozeph Glemp. Cardinal Glemp has made a career out of blaming the Jews for all of Poland's ills, including "spreading communism," "plying [Polish] peasants with alcohol" and even anti-Semitism.
In 1990 I was forced to file a lawsuit against Cardinal Glemp (for a full account of this lawsuit see my book Chutzpah) when he falsely accused an American rabbi, Avraham Weiss, who had come to Poland to protest a convent being constructed near Auschwitz, of trying to kill the nuns in the convent - a variation of the old blood libel.
As a result of the lawsuit, Glemp was forced to apologize, but his tirade against the Jews persisted. The best proof of the current problem of anti-Semitism in Poland is that fewer people seem to care that an anti-Semite serves as the archbishop of Warsaw than that a collaborator with communists serves in that distinguished position. "
Alan Dershowitz is a professor of law at Harvard. His most recent book is Preemption: A Knife that Cuts Both Ways (Norton, 2006).
...........this antisemitic shit just never ends. Its way past time that the Church did something about it, if only to claim some shred of dignity, ethical or moral behavior is a lost cause
Its appalling that anyone consider this institution anything other than disgusting
This is the sort of incident where a strong protest from the Archbishop of Canterbury would at least draw attention to yet another crime against humanity, of the Islamic variety,that the Sudan specialises in. It was an Anglican congregation, after all - but I suspect his response will be, as usual, silence and supineness. This in contrast to his Christmas visit to Bethlehem which was essentially a protest against the impact the Israeli wall making - he blamed it, rather than any activity by the local Muslims, for the declining number of Christians in the town.
"In 1990 I was forced to file a lawsuit against Cardinal Glemp (for a full account of this lawsuit see my book Chutzpah) when he falsely accused an American rabbi, Avraham Weiss, who had come to Poland to protest a convent being constructed near Auschwitz, of trying to kill the nuns in the convent - a variation of the old blood libel."
ploome, sorry to say the whole thing sounds like a bar fight. Both the Cardinal and the rabbi sound despicable. What problem did the rabbi have with a convent being built near Auschwitz? And when, if ever, have any Lutherans (for only one example) apologized for their complicity of silence in the Holocaust? Germany was, after all, a predominantly Protestant country during Hitler's regime. The silence from Christian denominations, other than Catholics, is (and has been) positively deafening. It's well worth examining ... don't you think?
Maybe when they get done in Somalia Ethiopia can rescue the Sudanese people from their government, too?

I think the Sudanese will oust these monsters on their own but I would love to see some helicopters flying over a herd of Jackaweeds with their big guns blazing. "A little help from some friends."
I also noted the lack of Jangaweed helicopters flying...they are not so tough when the opponents have helicopters too...
