Once again we see the fundamental insecurity of Islamic societies; they can’t stand the presence even of small and powerless minority communities, as that presence threatens the majority. Islamic apologists would respond that there were non-Muslim minorities in Muslim countries for centuries that were not wiped out; likely, however, only modern methods were lacking.
“Sudan Jails 19 Christians on Unfounded Allegations,” Morning Star News, March 24, 2025:
JUBA, South Sudan (Morning Star News) – At least 19 Christians were arrested in Sudan’s city of Madani on various occasions in January and February, area sources said.
Seven Christians were arrested by security personnel associated with the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) on Jan. 21 as the group traveled from Barakat to Madani, capital of Al Jazirah state, according to local reports. They were accused of being supporters of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that has been fighting the SAF since April 2023.
The members of different churches belonging to the Sudan Council of Churches were on their way to a thanksgiving prayer meeting of a body known as the Inter-Church Committee. Madani is 85 miles (136 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Khartoum.
Attorney Shinbago Mugaddam confirmed the arrests, saying the Christians were initially held in the Joint Military Cell on Nile Avenue in Madani, where they were subjected to extensive interrogation for a week before they were transferred to Madani Prison.
He identified the Christians as Akech Otin, Abraham John, Patrice Saeed, Peter Makuei, Rani Andraws, Ammanuel and James. They have all denied being supporters of the RSF.
Church leaders in Sudan said there was no evidence that the arrested Christians had ties with RSF and called for their immediate release.
“A group of Church leaders in the area requested that the Christians be released since they are not supporters of RSF through a letter from the churches in the area, but the Christians remain in prison,” Mugaddam told Morning Star News.
Some 94 kilometers (58 miles) from Madani, 12 Christians have been arrested since January in Wad Rawah, Al Jazirah state, on the pretext of being supporters of the RSF, Mugaddam said. Their whereabouts were unknown, he said.
Christian rights groups described the arrests as a systematic effort to rid Sudan of Christianity.
“This is systematic targeting of Christians who are arrested without taking them to a court of law to get justice,” Mugaddam said….

The fact that Christianity has not “been wiped out,” is not due to the mozlums’ (and others) lack of trying.
Jesus promised that “flesh would be saved,” even in the worst times.
There is no justice in islime. mozlums thrive on hatred, abuse, lying, theft, extortion, rape and murder. No one is immune from the terror when mozlums have even a little majority.
This evil being produced, will have an abundant reaping for those responsible.
