Sudanese Rapper, Emmanuel Jal

Thanks Rob for pointing this out. Good stuff. Glad to see Southern Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal getting big.
Emmanuel Jal was eight when he was handed an AK-47 and told to fight for the southern Sudanese rebels of the SPLA. He escaped Sudan in a bag, smuggled out by Emma McCune, a British aid worker, on […]

Conundrum

If God can do everything, can He create a stone which He Himself cannot roll?

Government Inflaming Things by Randomly Arresting Darfurians In Khartoum

WTF? This is so stupid. They’re pouring more fuel into the fire. I’m telling you, if the sectarian monster gets unleashed within Khartoum, we are going to have some very bad times ahead.
I like the SLM leader’s wise language in this one.
“The Sudanese regime should stop arresting people according to their skin color because this […]

Awww, Look at the Lovely Arab League

The Arab League has come to the rescue and even called the JEM a terrorist group!
May 11, 2008 (CAIRO) — Arab League Council at the ministerial level in a meeting held today condemned the “terrorist” attack yesterday in Khartoum by the rebel Justice and Equality Movement in order to destabilize the Sudan.
Gosh, you guys are […]

Obama Had Racist Wright, McCain Has Loony Theocrat Parsley

Say hello to Rod Parsley, McCain’s theocrat and good friend. Watch the video. The Pastor’s sermon is just, oh, so full of love and compassion:
Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends, through violence, to conquer the world.
The fact is that America was founded — I am going to stagger you right now — America was […]

WHAT? WHEN? WHO?

Gitmo and Khartoum’s Hypocrisy

Alright, that’s it. I’ve had enough of this garbage. The conversation I had with one Sudanese guy a while ago was the tipping point.
You know, I’m happy that Sami is finally reunited with his son and all but seriously, the way the government has been trying to portray itself heroically is just so damn stinking […]

Hezbollah’s “Peaceful” Protest

Oh yeah, like totally peaceful.

Daniel Pipes On Islam and Democracy

I’ve always appreciated that Daniel Pipes - unlike Robert Spencer - takes the time and effort to differentiate between Islam and what is usually termed Islamism, the political ideology of groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Given that Pipes is a staunchly right-wing figure, I found this article of his refreshing in substance. I don’t […]

BREAKING: Sami al-Hajj Released

I’ve held a very simple position on this matter. Give the man a fair trial, and if he’s found guilty, lock him up behind bars for as long as possible. If he is found innocent, release him as soon as possible. That’s it. Full stop. Is that too much to ask?
For more than six years […]
