Sudan: Muslims burn down two Christian churches in the past month

Mar 24, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“Two Churches Burned Down in Sudan Amidst Changes,” International Christian Concern, March 19, 2020:

03/19/2020 Sudan (International Christian Concern) – According to Radio Dabanga, two churches have been burned down by arsonists over the past month. Radio Dabanga received a report from a local lawyer and human rights defender named Dimas Marajan. Marajan said that though there have been some changes in Sudan since the fall of Bashir, violence against Christian communities has continued.

He said that the first attack took place on February 29 in Omdurman, Khartoums [sic] twin city across the river. The building belonged to the often persecuted Sudanese Church of Christ. The second burning took place on March 9 when militants burned down a church in Bout village of Blue Nile State. The church belonged to the Presbyterian Evangelical Church. These attacks followed just a couple of months after three churches being burned down in South Eastern Sudan.

In April 2019, Omar al-Bashir, the longtime dictator of Sudan, was ousted in a coup d’état. With this overthrow, there was a lot of hope for persecuted religious minorities to gain freedom. Now, almost a year later, changes seem to be taking place at the government level, but many people are resistant to them. So far, the new government in Sudan has promised to return all church properties, disbanded all committees established by Bashir to oversee churches, placed multiple Christians in high level positions and is returning control of church affairs to church leaders. Despite this, there is still much scrutiny over the changes and the idea that Christians will have freedom any time soon….

    Sudan: Muslims burn down two Christian churches in the past month
    ……………….

    There aren’t many Christians left in Sudan–most have left for South Sudan. But Muslims are happy to persecute any Christians who still remain under their heel.

    God, I hate Islam.

    I am afraid that this is simply what Muslims do, at least if they are devout and follow their prophet Muhammad in words and deeds.

    But nobody appears to take notice apart from fringe Islamophobic websites which indulge in conspiracy theories.

    The pope is supposed to take an interest in shepherding all Christians as he claims to be their head irrespective of their denominations, is more interested in keeping friendly relations with the leaders of Islam!

    Why is he doing that? The Roman Catholic church must have sufficient resources to know that Islam as a “religion” was started and can only live on the basis of its hatred of Christians and Jews who must be exploited, humiliated and ultimately killed. In other words peace would obliterate Islam as it would amount to its surrender. And the Roman Catholic church must know that Islam and it’s Allah have absolutely nothing in common with Christianity. So why?

      I think it is because he still thinks that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. The scales have not yet fallen from his eyes so that he can see the difference. He truly is a blind guide — and if he’s not, he is something far worse.

        I am afraid that it is worse and that the Roman Catholic church is on a path to create a one world religion. Why else would it allow Koran chanting in its churches? The chanting is at the minimum a curse of Christians and Jews if it is not direct blasphemy of Jesus Christ.

      Why would anyone expect anything different when this pope is a Jesuit? Jesuits have always represented the evil related to Roman Catholicism!

        No, it wasn’t Jesuits who burned down these churches–it was Muslims. The problem with the current pontiff is not that he is Jesuit, but that he is a “politically correct” fool in denial over the threat of Islam.

    The fact that they have “placed multiple Christians in high level positions” is a sign of good faith and hopefully a sign that a secular constitution will ensue. If not, there will be a return of the Islamists sooner, rather than later.

    These terrorist acts are useless if the terrorists wish a speedy return to power. It will enrage their opponents to go after them.

    I am sure the Islamists will be sore losers. God save the Sudanese from them.

    Only two? You’re slipping, Buttlims.
