At Last, The Truth About Sudan

I've been reading an awful lot about the ethnic cleansing in Sudan recently, but not a word about the religious cleansing. While the Sudanese Arabs have recently turned their attention to the extermination of all blacks, the slaughter occurring there began not so much Arabs killing blacks as it is Muslims killing Christians. The Washington Post finally said what everybody else was too squeamish to mention, mostly because it gives lie to the claim that Muslims hate us because of our power and would play nice if we disarmed. The Sudanese Christians have no power and few weapons. All the power is in the hand of the Muslims and they are exploiting the advantage.

"Sudan's Islamic and Arab government has a long history of denying humanitarian access to civilians as part of its long war with Christian and animist Africans in the south. It is applying those same tactics to Darfur, whose people, though Islamic, share the southerners' aspiration for regional autonomy."
