The unbelievers among the people of the book, that is, the Jews and Christians who do not become Muslims, are “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). What rights do they have that Muslims must respect?
“Christians who remain in Sudan face grave danger,” by Felipe d’Avillez and Maria Lozano, Aid to the Church In Need, July 27, 2023:
Many Christians who lived in Sudan have fled the country or have at least escaped the cities currently engulfed in violence, a Spanish Comboni missionary told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
Father Jorge Carlos Naranjo was on a biennial holiday in his native Spain when the civil war started, with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), loyal to the vice president, attacking key structures of the government and battling the regular army, which answers to the president. The capital and other important cities immediately became war zones.
Most Catholic missionaries chose to stay in Sudan, to support their faithful. Many lay Christians, however, have gone to safer places, like South Sudan, where the majority of Catholics in Sudan come from. the priest said.
“Most local Sudanese Christians are from the Nuba mountains [in South Sudan]. Some of them went back there, and some remained in El-Obeid. Some also remained in Khartoum. And we have a big Nuba community in Port Sudan, which is peaceful,” said Father Naranjo.
The missionary explained that there is also a large community of Coptic Orthodox Christians. Their roots are in Egypt, but they have been present in Sudan for centuries, and their members are full Sudanese citizens. “Some churches have been attacked by Rapid Support Forces, including the Coptic cathedral of Khartoum, which was occupied and turned into a command centre. The Coptic cathedral of Omdurman was also attacked and looted. Assailants took several cars and threatened the bishop and one of the priests, trying to convert them to Islam.”
Many Coptic workers were also told to convert, but they all refused. Even though they have been in Sudan for at least 100 years, the Copts generally marry each other, and so their skin is lighter than that of most Sudanese people. And the RSF soldiers insulted them, telling them that they were not real Sudanese because of that.”
The priest continued, “The Episcopal Cathedral of All Saints in Khartoum was also attacked by RSF soldiers, and the bishop was sent away. Some of our churches were also looted.” He added that there are many Ethiopian and Eritrean refugees in Sudan, whose lives the war has complicated. Some Ethiopians have managed to return to their country, but others have not, and the Eritreans cannot go home at all….

Read Spencer’s book “Did Muhammad exist?” If the main character was fictional, then anything claimed about him is equally true as false

These areas are pretty much lawless and non-Muslims are either weak or minorities. So Muslims act more “pure” that is as barbaric and violent as the first Muslims were under Mohammad, because they fear no retribution.
The free world needs to unite against Islam. Every other religion/ideology like Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Atheism, etc. are far more superior and civilized than Islam. This is the only ideology on this planet slaughtering people just because they’re from another belief system.
This should be unacceptable for everyone and we simply need to unite and exterminate Islam. Give Muslims a chance to leave this death cult. Those who want to spread it, whether violently or not, need to be put down. At the very least Muslims should be driven into their own lands and kept there.
If they step on non-Muslim soil, then it’s dar-ul-harb for them and us, so mow them down. This will happen in the West too as their numbers grow. This is why they riot and burn cities to weaken non-Muslims for the eventual ‘final’ jihad against us.

I think the West needs to create new laws just for Muslims. Specifically that Islam first must be banned and criminalized.
Then Muslims must be given the option to convert to any other ideology or else to leave the country. This must be enforced by the authorities and monitored by social workers for a few years. Any evidence that they continue to be Muslims is grounds for immediate deportation.
This ‘laissez-faire’ attitude towards Islam only means more non-Muslims will get raped, beaten, tortured and killed by Muslims until we do something about it.
Obviously we cannot do this as individuals, this must occur at the state level. For far too long gov’ts have opted to stay out of this ‘debate’ but it’s clearly not working…Islam must be dealt with hands on…like dealing with an overpopulation of feral pigs on your land.

Are there still any Christians in Sudan? I thought they had all fled to South Sudan
