“The organization also reported that systematic targeting of Nuba and other ethnic groups suggests the resurgence of an official policy of ‘Islamization and Arabization.'” Yet remember: opposing “Islamization” is racist, bigoted and hateful. A church was demolished? Pah! Who cares? It was in a “Muslim area”! What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?
“Sudanese Authorities Demolish Church Building in Anti-Christian Campaign,” from Morning Star News, February 20:
JUBA, South Sudan (Morning Star News) – Sudanese authorities on Monday (Feb. 17) demolished a church building in Omdurman without prior notice, area sources said.
In what Sudanese Christians believe is part of a campaign by Islamist President Omar al-Bashir to rid the country of Christianity, bulldozers accompanied by local police and personnel from the National Intelligence and Security Services destroyed the Sudanese Church of Christ building in the Ombada area of Omdurman, across the River Nile from Khartoum, they said.
“The government has confiscated the land where the church was built – please pray for the church to get a place for worship,” a Christian who requested anonymity for security reasons said. “We had not any prior indication from the officials that the church would be destroyed; they have not even warned us.”
Officials gave no reason for the demolition except that, as it was located in a “Muslim area,” the 300-member church was not wanted there, the church member said.
Another source, a church leader, confirmed to Morning Star News that authorities destroyed the building and confiscated the land without warning. “We have orders from above to demolish this church building,” the police officer in charge of the demolition told the church member, sources said. “We do not want any church in this area.”
The orders came from the Ombada locality, or city council, the sources said. Following the secession of South Sudan in July 2011, Sudan since 2012 has expelled foreign Christians and bulldozed church buildings on the pretext that they belonged to South Sudanese, but officials did not offer that basis in this case.
“Generally, the church is not wanted in the area,” the church member said. Leaders of the church have yet to determine a site for worship this Sunday. “Possibly the church will meet in a house of one of their members next week,” the source said.
Harassment, arrests and persecution of Christians have intensified since the secession of South Sudan, when Bashir vowed to adopt a stricter version of sharia (Islamic law) and recognize only Islamic culture and the Arabic language.
Besides raiding Christian bookstores and arresting Christians, authorities threatened to kill South Sudanese Christians who do not leave or cooperate with them in their effort to find other Christians (see Morning Star News, July 12, 2013).
South Sudan’s secession has also served as a pretext for Bashir’s regime to deport Christians based on their ethnicity, sources said. In a report issued in April 2013, Christian Solidarity Worldwide noted an increase in arrests, detentions and deportations of Christians since December 2012.
The organization also reported that systematic targeting of Nuba and other ethnic groups suggests the resurgence of an official policy of “Islamization and Arabization.”…

‘In a Muslim area…’ Now where have we heard that expression? Oh, in LONDON, of course.
F*** off! This is a Muslim area! You can’t have alcohol in a Muslim area. You have to dress modestly in a Muslim area. You can’t show a Bible in a Muslim area. You can’t fix a broken church window in a Muslim area.

We all know how this ends, us or them, so far they are winning on all fronts. Will the civilized world wake up in time? I doubt it, which is why I think some day islam will conquer the globe. This century most of Eurostan, most of Russia, and most of Africa.

To ‘Mohammad” above. A Muslim “Tokyo Rose” or a non-Muslim surrendering to Despair, which is one of the Seven Deadly Sins?
If the latter, I would say: beware of defeatism. What if there is someone lurking here who, if they ‘catch’ the defeatism, will “freeze” and do nothing; who, if not thus paralysed, if encouraged and inspired to act, might have gone on to become a crucial warrior in the Resistance? Remember the proverb, “for want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost, for want of a horse the rider was lost, for want of a rider the battle was lost, for want of a battle the kingdom was lost, and all for the want of a horse-shoe nail”.
*Don’t* forget the ‘nails’.

You are Haaaaaaaaasssssstttttttyyyy.
It is not going to be fear that reverses “Civilizations” civility
towards Islam. It will be outrage and anger and the retribution
will end Islam.

“..so far they are winning on all fronts.”
No, they’re not. Please read the testimony of sheikh Ahmad al Qataani on al Jazeera TV.
Here’s an english/french partial translation of the transcripts. If you can read Arabic, scroll down to the original arabic transcript.

I agree with dumbledoresarmy: Never surrender to despair. WE. SHALL. WIN.

@ Mortimer
The Muslims think they have got everyone in Britain on the run and are well on the way to the Islamisation of Britain, thanks to the Muslim huggers in the Government and Judiciary.
But, Mortimer, there is a wild card in the pack. !!!!
When the Muslims wars in Britain begin, Britain´s Indian and Sikh communities will wash British streets in Muslim blood.
These folk will NEVER accept an Islamic Britain. In fact in the coming war they will be your greatest allies.
John Stefan Obeda says
“God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, You see! Your children are being persecuted. Help them please not only to love your enemies but please rescue them from their enemies, the Islamists, who are killing them and burning down their churches and houses. Please have mercy on your dear children for Whom Your Son died.”

Sudanese authorities demolish church building in “Islamization” campaign
…………………………………….
This should come as no surprise. Sudan has been systematically raping, enslaving, and slaughtering Christians for a very long time now.
This is religious cleansing.

…………………………………….
Of course, South Sudan only seceded because of the Muslim genocide against Christians. But Muslims will use *any* excuse as a pretext for oppression and violence.

Besides raiding Christian bookstores and arresting Christians, authorities threatened to kill South Sudanese Christians who do not leave or cooperate with them in their effort to find other Christians…

Just like in Nazi Germany, where early in the Holocaust Jews were often threatened with death unless they identified other Jews.

South Sudan’s secession has also served as a pretext for Bashir’s regime to deport Christians based on their ethnicity, sources said.

This was very like Arab Muslim countries after the founding of Israel, who deported almost a million Jews over all in 1948.
Genocide and religious cleansing—and yet there is very little coverage of these atrocities in the Western press.
