Sudanese government officials are requesting removal from US Blacklist as one of the countries that supports terrorism. That’s possible but not until you show an improvement in human rights, like eliminating an existing law that says Muslims cannot convert to christianity. If you do, its the death penalty or serious jail time.
Omar Hassan Bashir split Sudan so he wouldn’t have to deal with religious or human rights for a majority Christian south. Even though South Sudan took seventy five percent of the oil, Bashir went along with the deal and disregarded objections from major Arab countries like Egypt and economic giant Qatar.
Un-equal treatment of Christians and other religious groups is normal procedure in many predominately Muslim countries. If you don’t believe me, then approach Coptic Christians in nearby Egypt and determine the truth for yourself. Up until a few years ago Muslim mobs burn down entire Christian villages without fear of prosecution if word got out that a muslim woman married a Christian man. In many cases they would accuse him of rape, even after it was proven consent took place. President Abdel el-Sisi ‘kinda sorta’ defended the Copts in public after constant criticism and pressure from the west. In the end he provided much needed security to Christian places of Worship not only in Sinai Peninsular but Southern Egypt also.
Let’s not forget the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Egypt’s El-Sisi once quipped: “they have money like rice.”
The same Saudi Arabia that bans Israelis from entering and where Jews are not allowed to work.
But they’ve always been a closed society, albeit they have finally allowed women to drive. But don’t count on seeing a church or one of it’s symbols like a cross anytime soon, because “Saudi Arabia allows Christians to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practice their faith openly. Because of that Christians generally only worship within private homes. Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are prohibited,” according to http://www.politifact.com.
But when it comes to criticizing the Buddhist government of Myanmar for its harsh treatment of Rohingya Muslims, gulf states including the Saudis are at the forefront. Yes, in 1982 Myanmar, also known as Burma passed a law disallowing Rohingyas to attain citizenship. “Keep in mind this same law, required a person’s ancestors belong to a national race or group present in Myanmar prior to 1823, to become a citizen. The Rohingyas were still classified as illegal immigrants allowed in by British Colonizers,” according to theconversation.com.
Ethnic Cleansing is wrong whether you’re speaking of atrocities committed by the Janjaweed Militias against Darfurians, when nearly half a million were slaughtered and almost 3 million were displaced, to gain access to valuable land that was needed by the government for various reasons, including inserting Arab Tribes. This was undertaken by none other than the notorius Bashir, who has been able to hide from the International Criminal Court for genocide in Darfur.
You didn’t hear any Arabs leaders demanding Bashir, a hardcore Islamist, be turn over to a European Court for the mass deaths of Black African Muslims who didn’t want to become Arabised, and were sick and tired of being marganalized.
Bilad As-Sudan, roughly translated means “Lands of the Blacks”. Yes the Furs were in DARFUR longer than the Arabs, did the Saudis railed against Bashir for his treatment of Black African Muslims, by an Arab dictator. I don’t think so.
But they are heads over heals for the ethnic cleansing of Muslims by Buddhists in Burma, where Buddhism prevails with 88% of the population followed by 6% Christian and 4% Islam. Maybe the gulf states and other Muslim countries would prefer destabalizing Burma, so Islam can gain a major foothole in that country.
