Allahu Akbar. The Arab League is actually doing something constructive. Za’3rito ya niswan. Well okay, actually (some) diplomats from the Arab League and other Muslim countries are doing something constructive. They met Pope Benedict.
Pope Benedict XVI told Muslim diplomats Monday that “our future” depends on good relations between followers of both faiths as he sought to put to rest anger over his recent remarks about Islam and violence.
…Addressing the diplomats, he did say that Christians and Muslims must work together to “guard against all forms of intolerance and to oppose all manifestations of violence.”
…Saudi Arabia does not have diplomatic relations with the Holy See.
Among predominantly Muslim nations with diplomatic relations to the Vatican, only Sudan did not participate in the meeting.
Yaaaaaay! But on a serious note why didn’t the SPLM send someone? That Salva Kiir dude is too laid back in my opinion. Busy swallowing oil money secretly is he? John Garang is sorry was so much more charismatic. Ah, how I miss him. Who killed him again? Ya, it was the damn CIA. You bloody freaking oil junkie Americans. I hate you!

Drima, just curious. Does Sudan have any “Peacemakers,” similar to Somalia’s Hadraawi? Is there any Sudanese artist/poet/musician activist who could take the lead in this?
