“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Sudan conflict: Five injured in attack on Omdurman church; warring sides blame each other,” by Harshit Sabarwal, WION, May 15, 2023:
In a statement, Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said the paramilitary forces fired bullets at Christian worshippers at the Mar Girgis (St George) Church in Omdurman, the news agency AFP reported.
The RSF, meanwhile, blamed the army for the attack “that caused serious injuries among worshippers.”
Worshippers were attacked in a church during mass on Sunday (May 14) as the fighting between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been going on for a month.
Five people were injured including a priest, and the warring factions blamed each other for the attack on the Mar Girgis (St George) Church in Omdurman.
In a statement, Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said the paramilitary forces fired bullets at Christian worshippers at the church, the news agency AFP reported.
The RSF, meanwhile, blamed the army for the attack “that caused serious injuries among worshippers.”
In a statement, the RSF said that an extremist group affiliated with the army was responsible.
Christians in Sudan have suffered decades of persecution under Omar al-Bashir’s regime, and several high-ranking officials of which returned to power following a coup in 2021.
According to government figures, Christians represent only three per cent of Sudan’s population. However, Christian leaders have said the figure is much higher….

The ongoing attack on Christianity is pervasive and world-wide. Whether it is Muslims acting barbarically against Christians as they have for centuries (so much for the People of the Book ruse perpetrated by Muslims and ignorant and compliant dhimmis), a scumbag like Biden and the US federal bureaucracy pushing all kinds of false narratives (e.g., that Christian, white supremacist nationalism is the greatest threat to America today), China pursuing an internal war upon Christians, or the now loathsome MSM which has pushed a falsity as truth (e.g., the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia) and a truth as a falsity (e.g., the Hunter Biden laptop “story”), the net result in all of these highly destructive mendacities and barbarities is that, presently, it seems like the bad guys are still winning, so powerful can lies be compared to veracity.
Well, lies better not be in the long run because the optimal fate of mankind, as always, resides in truth and truth nowadays is as precious and as scarce as it has ever been. But, sadly, the liars are still winning and this is dispositive of just how both truth and real civilization are indeed very fragile and require constant vigilance. So, don’t count on the fools aplenty now leading the West—like Biden, Trudeau, Pope Francis, the EU, et al. Doing so would be, yes, very foolish. As for Muzzies being Muzzies, just expect the worst and plan accordingly.

Sadly, Wellington, it is going to get worse before it gets better. But, better it will get. We just have to hang in and keep telling that Truth about which you write. We can’t afford to give up…the loss would be too great, and life is too precious..
