Sudan's real problem comes from Islam
December 10, 2006
1 Comment
Rehka Basu's column regarding the brutality in the Sudan is interesting
("We Must Stop Darfur Massacre, Nov. 19). The people of that region have
been under a decade and half of siege, and the world's power structure
has done little to intervene. However, Basu neglected to tell the true
story of life in Sudan and what is developing and where the conflict is
headed.
Basu failed to mention that the primary cause of the problem is Islamic
terrorists, who have driven the feuding warlords from most of the
country. These Islamic extremists have installed Taliban-style rules
with the goal of creating a theocracy in Sudan.
This summer, the United Nations issued a report, which states that Syria
has equipped and trained hundreds of the Islamic fighters and that Iran
has delivered over 1,000 machine guns and grenade launchers and dozens
of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles to Sudan. The Islamic
extremists running the government have already declared that any
intervention to assist the people of Sudan will be declared an act of war.
In addition, the general belief in the region is that the Islamists'
goal is to grab secular territories of Puntland and Somaliland and also
engulf parts of Kenya and Ethiopia.
For the people in this country and the world who do not believe we have
problems with Islamic fundamentalists, wake up and quit looking through
your rose-tinted glasses with the view that this is a religion of peace.
There are many good people who worship within the faith of Islam;
however, until these good people stand up and remove the violent element
from their religion, these types of conflicts will only increase.
