An update on this story. The involvement of Arab tribes backed by a militia supported by Khartoum fits all too neatly with Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir’s supremacist plan to impose an Arab identity on the remainder of the country and allow for no law but Sharia to govern the territory. Outsourcing the dirty work to […]
Sudanese president: “Sharia law has always stipulated that one must whip, cut, or kill”
He said it. Is Omar al-Bashir some kind of Islamophobe? No, he is looking forward to using the outcome of southern Sudan’s independence referendum to ramp up Sharia law within the remainder of the country. Religious minorities in the north are rightfully afraid (along with all minorities who will be further marginalized under Bashir’s intended […]
League of Muslim Preachers and Clerics denounces South Sudan independence referendum, calls for Sharia for the whole country
They want Sharia in the entire country “whether citizens of the mainly Christian region of south Sudan like it or not.” Isn’t it great that Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange made Oklahoma safe for Sharia? “Sudan: Fundamentalist Clerics Reject South Sudan Referendum, Demand Islamic Laws,” from the Sudan Tribune, December 25 (thanks to Twostellas): Khartoum — A […]
Sudan: Women are punished with “600,000” lashes a year

Sharia in Sudan: Woman brutally lashed
Good thing Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange made Oklahoma safe for Sharia, eh? The penalty for fornication or sodomy, according to the Shafi’i Sharia manual ‘Umdat al-Salik: If the offender is someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then he or she is stoned to death (def: o12.6), someone with the capacity to remain chaste meaning anyone […]
Sudan: Police aid in Muslim’s effort to take over church land
This story has come out of Sudan. Just days ago, there was a college chapel seized in Pakistan. Wow, did these guys call each other? No. What is most revealing about such stories is how often the same acts of discrimination (if not violence) against non-Muslims occur, geographically far removed from one another, but with […]

Sudanese police arrest models after fashion show
More fashion jihad, although this one seems to be directed more at the mixing of the sexes than at the fashion show itself. What fun they will have in Paris. Sharia Alert: “Police arrest models after fashion show,” from Reuters, June 28 (thanks to Block Ness): KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudanese police briefly detained more than […]
Four Sudanese jihadists, murderers of U.S. envoy, “escape” from prison
Could it be that someone in the prison who sympathized with their point of view made sure this “escape” happened? After all, supporters of the jihad against the U.S. are not exactly thin on the ground in the Sudan. “Sudanese killers of US envoy ‘escape from prison,’” from AFP, June 11: KHARTOUM — Four Sudanese […]
Sudan opposition leader says genocidal violence a “jihad”
I’ve been noting for years that the genocide in southern Sudan and Darfur was identified as a jihad by its perpetrators. But the mainstream media and official Washington have always characterized it as “ethnic violence.” Will they believe Sadiq al-Mahdi? I doubt it. He must be some kind of Islamophobe. “Ex-PM Mahdi blasts Sudan ruling […]
