Al-Shabaab jihadist: "We're fighting to bring Islamic law to their country, because we are Muslims and it is according to the Koran."

Now Muslims and Arabs have killed black Africans in Ugana, Kenya, Tanzania, the Sudan, Nigeria. They have enslaved black Africans in recent years, right now, in Sudan and Mauritania, and thee are those who claim that slavery is still practiced, if only informally, in several of the Arab countries of North Africa, with black Africans as the enslaved.

Meanwhile, in north and central Nigeria, ever since the Christians were put down in their attempt to gain their independence in 1969--- an attempt that was suppressed by the Muslims of the north, with help from Egyptian pilots flying Egyptian Migs who strafed Igbo villages -- the continued spread of Shari'a, and the large-scale killings of Christians -- a few months ago Muslims swooped down and killed women and children in a village at night (perhaps you've already forgotten -- so many have), and the Shari's steadily is applied, with full force, in states that formerly were less fanatically Muslim. And Saudi money, paying for mosques and imams and madrasas, has transformed the practice of Islam in West Africa, as a friend of mine, who returns to Niger at intervals, keeps telling me with horror.

And in the Sudan, the Muslims of the north have made a farce of the promise to hold elections, and then a referendum on indepedendence.

For almost six years I have suggested at this site that a few thousand American troops could seize control of the entier southern Sudan and Darfur, and hold them until such time as a true referndum, free and fair, without the northern Muslims buying up local tribal leaders or setting off the locals against one another, could be undertaken and that this would have an electrifying effect on black African Christians, and give them reason not to despair but to hope.

And it would have an effect, too, on the world's Muslims, for they would be unable to claim -- no matter how the Arab League would scream -- that they have some kind of inalienable right to keep black Africans enslaved, or to keep stealing their oil (as in the Sudan), or diverting all thew oil revenues from Christian areas, where the oil is to be found (as in Nigeria) to Muslims, as in Nigeria. And fresh with the fury over the attacks in Uganda, it would be hard for anyone at the U.N., even the malevolent members of the one remaining lobby -- the Muslim lobby -- to argue that the Arabs have this right. And when the tale of the Arab slave trade becomes widely disseminated, and the news of the Arabs enslaving blacks still, this would be a help to halt the spread of Islam in Black Africa, but to help do damage to the carefully-targetted campaigns of Da'wa that go on, among black prisoners especially, in Great Britain and the United States, and even in France. The way that the Muslim Arabs, themselves Arab supremacists, cynically enroll in their Jihad, as cannon fodder, black converts, may also be exposed. So within the West, and in Africa itself, such a move would make geopolitical as well as moral sense.

Finally, as the Americans leave Iraq, that withdrawal -- which ought to have occurred starting in early 2004 -- will be painted by Muslim propagandists as a victory for Islam. Triumphalists will be heartened, and others will join the violent Jihad if they think that "the Infidels are on the run." They are unimpressed by this campaign by the Obama Administration, of the most absurd among its policymakers -- see John Brennan, see Dennis McDonouogh -- of Outreach to Muslims, of aiding and abetting the most absurd aspects of Muslim Self-Esteem.

The seizing of the southern Sudaan would make clear that the American withdrawal from Iraq and, I hope, Afghanistan, is not a sign of defeat or of appeasement, but a sign of a much more intelligent, cunning, and ruthless policy to weaken, to divide, to demoralize, the Camp of Islam.

And such an act will do much, too, to scare the regime in Teheran. And we want it to be scared. It isn't scared nearly enough.

Now is a good time. Or if not now, very soon. As American businessmen like to write, ASAP.

Errrr....we want your land and your women....and your head....hey...you had better not be watching soccer.....

Hugh,

I remember your post way back concerning The Sudan.

I'd like to ask your opinion concerning The Lord's Resistance Army, vis a vis, Uganda, AND Khartoum's enabling and arming of that group to destabilize Uganda?

Last I read Kony is still alive and is actively attempting to overthrow the Uganda government.

Museveni has been and still is concerned about the Joseph lunatic.

I also remember him (Museveni) sending troops to Somalia to fight Al-Shabaab when Ethiopia made its move.

Khartoum, Al-Shabaab and the LRA (local proxy) be in cahoots to mess with Uganda?

I wonder what those al-shabbah, al-habibi, al-shahad, al-shaheed (it's all the same damn thing, isn't it?) would think if they found out about mahound referring to black people like them as raisin heads and pug-nosed slaves.

They'd either leave mahoundianism, or learn to live with the fact that they hate themselves so damn much...

Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage --------

What an appropriate name for a barbaric muslim malcontent and murderer. Islamic duty is a nasty job indeed.

Based in Northern Uganda and the Sudan, the Lord's Resistance Army was financed and equipped by Sudan's Islamic government.

Formed in 1992, the group's founder, Joseph Kony, claims to be a mystic who receives orders from spirits during nightly dreams.

Those who like to discredit Christianity assert that the LRA promotes a radical form of Christianity although there is no correlation between Yahweh's Scriptures and Joseph Kony's preaching or behavior.

The group seeks to achieve its objectives through unbridled brutality. Rape, torture, and murder have become the LRA's hallmarks in the almost fifteen years that they have terrorized the citizens of Northern Uganda.

The ranks of the LRA are filled in large part by children, who are kidnapped and then brainwashed into service. Human rights NGOs place the number of children currently fighting with LRA at around 3,000.

The Lord's Resistance Army, taking another page out of the Islamic playbook, kidnap young girls to serve as sex slaves. Many of these children have even been given as gifts to Muslim arms dealers in the Sudan who not only support the LRA, but who are also part of the Sudanese Islamic government.

Demonstrating their Islamic tendencies, the Lord's Resistance Army murdered an Italian priest. They also killed World Food Program volunteers and the former President of Uganda. After terrorizing mourners at a funeral, they forced them to cook and then eat the body of the deceased. No discernible political program underlies these attacks aside from

Kony's desire to cause extreme pain and suffering on all who do not submit. In fact it would not be inappropriate to say that Kony is a carbon copy of Idi Amen, one of the most ruthless and inhuman Muslims who ever lived.

In 2002, the murderous fundamentalist Islamic Sudanese government publicly reversed its longstanding policy of support for the LRA. Despite this declaration, the LRA continued to perpetrate its brutal attacks within Uganda using Sudanese weapons.

They want to take over the world. Look at what's happening in the world, muslims and non muslims are at war with each other all over the world.

How did you fact check this story?

Khartoum's junta may have publicly renounced support for the LRA, but the evidence suggests that they are still supporting them. I spent much of last year in Western Equatoria province in southern Sudan and spoke with many LRA victims, church leaders, aid groups, and government officials. The prevailing view among almost all of them, with the exception, perhaps, of the "Sergeant Schultz" ("I see notting; I hear notting")afflicted UNMIS leadership, is that LRA henchman Joseph Kony is still getting substantial material support from Khartoum. This was even confirmed by one of Kony's top commanders who defected back to Uganda late in 2009.

One group of LRA attempted to move to Darfur. Not sure if they made it. The UN, and Sudan's armed forces are doing nothing to halt the activities of the LRA and (at least when I was there) were doing nothing to provide protection for the civilian population.

As referendum time draws near (Jan 2011), watch the LRA to swing back into full action in Western Equatoria State....likely fully armed and fully financed from Khartoum.
