A powerfully honest documentary about the islamisation of Sudan, taped in 1993. Keeping in mind the millions who have died there since then, the central question of the film "Is the rise of islamic movements something the west should be worried about?" ... now answers itself.

The Sudanese Islamic Courts use the most brutal of means to convert Southerners to Islam. A young boy shuffles down the road in chains, another is brutally whipped by several men. A highly shocking report uncovering the worst side of Islam.
Sudan’s leadership discusses the West’s fears about the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism.
Includes the famous ‘boy in chains’ sequence at a Koranic school. Hundreds of armed women fighters illustrate the fundamentalist theme. Inside the notorious Kober Prison guards show where prisoners are routinely hanged. For lesser crimes Islamic Shariah Courts may impose flogging or amputation. Survivors of secret torture prisons (‘Ghost Houses’) tell their story. The government is accused of using unethical means to induce Southerners to convert to Islam. Near Khartoum 1.8 million war-displaced Southerners live disadvantaged lives. For three years the authorities have bulldozed homes and forced these disPlaced out into the desert. We speak to Sudan’s Minister of Housing - more appropriately ‘the Minister of Demolition’. We profile harsh conditions in a Koranic school where children are forced to memorise the Koran or spend years chained up. The reality of Sudan’s worst face of Islam is revealed in this comprehensive documentary. Nominated for Amnesty International Press Awards.

An Interview with Tidiane N´Diaye - Translated by Galliawatch
In May 2001 the French Parliament passed a law that came to be called Taubira's Law after its sponsor, Christiane Taubira, the socialist deputy from Guiana. I posted an English translation of the law in May 2006. The first part of the law qualifies both slavery and the transatlantic and Indian Ocean slave trades as crimes against humanity, but does not mention the Arab-Muslim slave trade. Madame Taubira is quoted as having said in 2006 that the Negro slave trade practiced by Arab-Muslims must not be brought up too often so that "young Arabs do not bear on their shoulders all the weight of the heritage of Arab misdeeds."

Now a book published in France by Gallimard, entitled Le Génocide Voilé ("Veiled Genocide"), exposes the cover-up of the Arab-Muslim slave trade, denounces the attempt to place all of the blame for slavery on the backs of Western countries, and goes so far as to qualify the atrocities committed by Arabs to Africans as "genocide."

The author is Tidiane N'Diaye (photo), a Senegalese Muslim, anthropologist, economist, and researcher at INSEE (National Institute of Economic Studies). The following interview with the author is posted at Evene.

Le Génocide Voilé is an inquiry into the Arab-Muslim slave trade. Why should we be interested in this subject today?

Because the misery, the poverty, the long demographic stagnation and the current developmental delays of the black continent, are not merely the consequences of the transatlantic slave trade, as many imagine. The transatlantic drain is well known and has been debated for decades. Studies and syntheses on this slave trade are legion. And yet, even though one cannot speak of degrees of horror or a monopoly on cruelty, it is possible to declare that the Negro slave trade and the wars provoked by the Arab-Muslims were, for black Africa through the centuries, much more devastating than the transatlantic trade. Likewise the Islamization of many Negro-African peoples and all that it engendered, such as jihad, were no less the source of innumerable implosions. But to this day, only the genocide of black peoples by the Arab-Muslim nations has not been clearly acknowledged by those who research the responsible parties. Even though this crime is historically, juridically and morally forbidden.

When did it begin and in what region(s)?

In the 7th century A.D., the Arabs, having conquered Egypt, proceeded to enslave numerous peoples of Nubia, Somalia, Mozambique, and elsewhere, during the first Islamic expansion. The Nubians had been harshly dealt with in the fierce attacks by Arab forces. They defended themselves courageously, but faced with superior numbers and the determination of the soldiers of the jihad and the repeated assaults by Arab jihadists, the Nubians preferred to negotiate peace, concluding in 652 the treaty known as Bakht. This treaty committed the vanquished African monarch to turn over annually a supply of 360 captives to become slaves in the Arab-Muslim world. Thus it was that a large-scale Negro slave trade was for the first time invented by Arab-Muslims. I use the term Arab-Muslim because after the Bakht, this trade became trans-Saharan and Eastern, implicating more and more peoples and regions and extending far beyond the Arab world. The traders who took part were also Berbers from the Maghreb, Turks of the Ottoman Empire and Iranians, hence Persians. Many African captives were sold by the Arabs as far away as India, since the king of Bengal possessed about 8000 slaves in the 15th century. The majority of men deported at the start of this trade came from the population of Darfur. It all began there, and apparently it has never ceased.

What were the specific forms and motivations of this slave trade compared with the transatlantic trade?

In the Arab world - the Wahhabi system (Saudi Arabia) for example - did not favor economic and social development through the hard work of its inhabitants. It condemned them to an endless need for servile labor furnished by the Negro trade. Moreover, for an Arab of those times, a man is never poor so long as his neighbor possesses something. The Holy War came in handy, if you wanted to become rich. Since every believer had the obligation to lead a jihad, they said, it was imperative to subject and enslave the non-converted. They took the Koran abusively as a pretext to stage raids on their infidel neighbors, stripping them of all they possessed. And so it was that with a clear conscience and using methods that were convenient as well as blessed, most of these converted Arab tribes ended up not living from their own resources. Thus the permanence of the plague of the Negro slave trade and of Arab-Muslim slavery in Africa was due to the traditions of these peoples dating from a time when they could not, out of debauchery and laziness, do without servile men to infuse strength and new blood into them. For example, in the middle of the 19th century, one third of the population of Oman was African or of African origin. In Arab societies, Africans played a central role. They had no specific function but they took part in a great many common activities.

You speak of massive castration...

Before the terrible castrations there were first sudden raids and massacres. For example, in the Holy War led by that Sudanese Arab chieftain, a mystic, enlightened, who considered himself a Mahdi (descendant of the Prophet), the whole of Sudan from the ocean to Egypt, taking in all the plateaux of Africa - from the Nile to the Zambezi - was subject to manhunts and the sale of captives. This space was twice the size of Europe, and certain explorers estimated its population to be around 100 million in the the 19th century. To have an idea of the evil, you must realize that these same observers stated that to hunt down and carry off 500,000 individuals, it was necessary to kill almost two million others (who resisted or tried to flee). So if births had ceased at the time, then, in less than a half-century, the interior of Africa would be nothing but a desolate wasteland today.

You also speak of genocide. Do you think there was a desire to annihilate the African Negro populations?

I do indeed find the word "genocide" suitable for this unprecedented enterprise. It must be stated that the disdain of the Arabs towards Africans was also a catalyst. The famous Arab historian of the 14th century, Ibn-Khaldum, wrote: "The only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, because of an inferior degree of humanity, their place being closer to the level of animals." The question then was: how to see to it that these "animals" did not reproduce in Arab-Muslim lands. For from the outset of the slave trade, the traders wanted to prevent them from becoming rooted. Since there was nothing metaphysical about it, castration appeared to be a practical solution. And so, in this effort to abase human beings, if the Arabs sent most black women to harems, they mutilated the men, using rudimentary procedures that caused a terrifying mortality. The figures on this slave trade are quite simply harrowing. (...)

In the second part of the interview, of which I will quote one excerpt only, he discusses critically the work of Olivier Pétré-Grenouilleau, who also exposed the Arab-Muslim slave trade. He comments on the current situation in Darfur and reveals the truth about Zulu hero Chaka Zulu. His most interesting remarks deal with what he sees as the Stockholm syndrome African-style:

Very numerous are those who would like to see the Arab-Muslim slave trade forever veiled in oblivion, often in the name of a certain religious, or even ideological solidarity. It is in fact a virtual pact signed and sealed between the descendants of the victims and those of the executioners, that leads to this denial. Because in this sort of "Stockholm syndrome African-style," all of these fine people agree to place everything on the shoulders of the West. The selective silence surrounding the Arab-Muslim crimes against black peoples and this effort to minimize it, so as to better point the projectors solely at the transatlantic trade, is a cement being used to bring about a fusion of Arabs and Negro-African peoples - who have long been " fellow victims" of Western colonialism. That Arab-Muslim writers and other intellectuals attempt to make even the simplest memory of this infamy disappear, as if it had never existed, is easily understood.

On the other hand, what is harder to grasp is the attitude of many researchers, and even of African Americans who are converting more and more to Islam. This attitude is not always healthy and is strongly influenced by a sort of self-censorship. As if evoking the slave trading past of Arab-Muslims is in some way tantamount to minimizing the transatlantic trade. (...)

This film deals with the militant madrassas in Sudan often inhabited by the orphans of the jihad in southern Sudan, Darfur, Nigeria and Chad. Here, the men are usually enslaved or killed; the women, if not killed, are taken north and sold after enduring sadistic rapes. But the children are often kidnapped and deported to terrorist training camps, where they are brainwashed into the Islamic ideology of hate and trained for military warfare against non-Muslims and the west. When they finish their schooling they are sent back home or abroad to establish sleeper cells and await orders from religious leaders.





This strategy of child deportation and indoctrination has been documented in other wars on innocent non-Muslims and seems to be a jihadi tradition. At least, it carries the distinctive mark of the Islamic strategy: feed off the enemy while you fight him. Within this field Islamic teachings really are highly developed and innovative, applying hundreds and hundreds of often complicated schemes and rackets to bleed the dragon. In fact, "terror" seems to be one such scheme. The creativity behind these traditions of jihad, is so downright evil it boggles the mind, but when one understands the true implications of a doctrine of permanent war one realises a neccessity at work and begin to find these vicious systems of exploitation feeding off non-muslim societies time and time again. A kind of ancient jihad economics is in play, in which the kafirs figure as nothing but a natural resource.

The documentary contains original footage from these child terrorist camps which was sent to thousands of Muslims in the West to raise alms for jihad. In the video we are told that "these are the children the West fails to see, the children the West fears the most." "Each one of them has been trained with an AK-47 assault rifle and will do their duty to Allah and the Ummah when called upon to do so"

What this "duty" is, and how many of the "youths" of the West actually stayed in extremist madrassas before being welcomed as de facto refugees, "unaccompanied minors. asylum seekers, and immigrants we have yet to see. But human trafficking being yet another branch of jihad economics, one has to hope for the best but expect the worst.

The implications of this activity are of course immense, especially for Europe, due to the welcoming policies towards "unaccompanied minors", who has been let in, in the hundreds of thousands in the past decades. In most cases without authorities having any idea of their name, history, relatives or country of origin.
The above film contains the only material I have been able to find on this important issue, and I have therefore made a shorter excerpt of the fundraising video, which I urge reasders to forward.

Witnesses testified about the slavery and brutality against Christians in southern Sudan. They focused on the atrocities committed against these people and the condition of the slaves. They also focused on the efforts of some U.S. groups to educate Americans about the atrocities and their efforts to free the Sudanese slaves. They also encouraged Congress to do more to help the slaves and fund rehabilitation programs for freed slaves.

Heartbreaking testimonies by the sudanese victims begins around 45 minutes into the broadcast.
Note! This program aired in 1999 during the Clinton-administration.

Simon Deng - on Arab enslavement of black africans and the slaughter of millions of Christians and Animists in Sudan.
I excerptet his answers from this interesting program exposing chinas involvement in darfur

Here is a transcript of a speech held by Simon Deng at UN in Geneva back in 2005
(Thanks to Hodja)

I wish to open my remarks by expressing my profound gratitude to the International Humanist and Ethical Union, the Association for World Education, and the Association of World Citizens for their invitation to me to address this conference at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. A symposium on "Victims of Jihad" could not be more important or urgent. Let me be very clear: this meeting is addressing the worst evil presently confronting the world. Jihad is on the march across the globe, and the people of the Sudan have experienced its cruelty more than any other group on earth. It is also fitting, if only in the most blackly comic way, that this conference coincides with the meeting of the 61st Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights, a body whose purpose is to uphold the rights and dignity of all people, and yet it has among its members some of the most inhumane regimes on earth, among them the genocidal slave jihadists of Khartoum.

I thank you for giving me this opportunity to address you, and not only or primarily on my own behalf, but far more importantly on behalf of my people, the Southern Sudanese victims of Islamization, Arabization and enslavement at the hands of the tiny Arab minority in my country. Through my presence here you have given voice to millions of voiceless victims; you have made the invisible visible; you have helped me break the silence that has surrounded the destruction of my people.
My name is Simon Aban Deng. I am from Sudan. I am a Shiluk by tribe. I am a Christian by religion. I belong to a people who have been subjected to mass murder, slavery, systematic rape, religious persecution, enforced starvation, dislocation, exile. We are the victims of genocide, both physical and cultural. We have been targeted for annihilation as human beings and as members of a culture. These miseries did not fall upon us from the sky; we have been and remain the victims of the radical jihadist regime in Khartoum.
The scale of our losses has been enormous in the two genocides perpetrated by the Islamists - two, not one. Starting in 1955, the year before independence was granted by the British, up until 1973, 1.5 million Southern Sudanese Christians were slaughtered by the Arab/Muslim dominated government in Khartoum. From 1983 until just 3 months ago when a peace treaty was brokered by the United States, we Southern Sudanese lost 2 million more to what Khartoum calls a holy war against the infidels. Yes, I am an infidel according to their definition. I think many of you are as well. We black "infidels" in the South, Christians and other non-Muslims, refused to be ruled by Islam, and we refused to be Arabized.
Our only offense was our determination to remain faithful to our religion and to honor our African cultures. For these "crimes" The National Islamic Front regime has committed genocide against us. Not only has that genocide produced the largest body-count of murdered innocents since the Nazis and the work of Joseph Stalin's followers, but it has also produced the largest population of refugees anywhere on earth since the Second World War.

I am standing before you today, ladies and gentlemen, a victim of Sudanese Arab enslavement in Sudan. I was a slave. I am not ashamed to say it. When I was nine year's old, my village was raided by Arab troops in the pay of Khartoum. As we ran into the bush to escape I watched as childhood friends were shot dead and the old and the weak who were unable to run were burned alive in their huts. I was abducted and given to an Arab family as a "gift." A "gift," ladies and gentlemen. When you look at me, do you see a gift? Do I look like an object or a commodity? I am a human being, a person created in the image of God, a simple truth the jihadists did not and can not recognize.
As a child, I lived as a slave for several years. I was beaten time and time again for no reason at all - even the whim of my "master's" children could produce these beatings. I was subjected to harsh labor and indignities of every sort. A beloved child in my own loving family, I had to become accustomed to sleeping next to the animals and to clean the ground where I slept. I became accustomed to awakening first in the household to begin my labor, eating the leftovers from the plates of my "master's" and going to sleep last - only after every bit of heavy work had been performed. I will not dwell on this time in my life. I speak of it because you need to understand that if you take my experience as a child slave and multiply hundreds of thousands of times only then can you begin to understand the nightmare of the African peoples of Sudan at the hands of the jihadists.
While the life of a slave is like hell, there is no shame in being a slave; it is not a choice. There is only shame in being a "master." If any one is to feel shame for the suffering of the people of the Sudan who have lost 3.5 million lives at the hands of a barbarous regime, it is the radical Muslims in Khartoum and their Islamist allies throughout Sudan and across the whole of the Islamic world.
It is important to bear in mind that by definition the African Christians of the Southern Sudan are the victims of jihad Islamism. The war against us (I should add that the word "war" is misleading because it has not been conventional war we have experienced but a genocidal war of extinction) has been and is being conducted in the name of jihad. According to the murderers, rapists and slavers - they are engaged in a holy war in the name of Allah. The Sudanese jihadists have a simple-minded, cruel, binary worldview. If you are not a Muslim you are a khoufar, an infidel, an enemy, a human being with no right to life who may be treated with terrible inhumanity. The jihadists in Khartoum have a great challenge in Sudan, the Land of the Blacks. Those Arabs and Sudanese who have chosen to be culturally Arab are so comparatively few - and the blacks are so many. Still, they have done their work with great efficiency. They have been well-armed by their friends in the Arab world. They committed genocide against us in the South and they got away with it: the world simply looked away. Now they have turned their attention west, to Darfur. Some are watching; most are not.

When millions of African blacks were being slaughtered and hundreds of thousands of Southern Sudanese children were and are being enslaved, the world was indifferent. Perhaps worst of all - the UN turned its back.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are very painful questions which must be asked, and I will ask them. How long will mass murder, slavery, religious persecution, systematic rape, enforced starvation, and "ethnic and religious cleansing" be allowed to go on? When will those with the power to act to stop these crimes stand up and say enough is enough?

Not long ago - only yesterday in historical terms - after the Nazis slaughtered millions of innocent Jews, the UN was created. At that time, standing on the ashes of the victims of Auschwitz and the other places of torture and mass-murder, the world said, "Never Again." The words seemed to mean something at that time; they seemed filled with purpose and power. It appeared as though a brave new world was coming into being in which such atrocious evil would never again be permitted by civilized nations. When Pol Pot slaughtered his own people in Cambodia we returned to that phrase and once more said, "Never again." But in Sudan, when 1.5 million were lost in a genocide perpetrated by the Islamists, nobody said anything at all. Then Rwanda came, and even though no one lifted a finger to save the 800,000 so horribly slaughtered, yet again, everybody said "Never Again". In Sudan, in the second genocide in the South, 2 million were being slaughtered up until two months ago in the name of jihad by the Islamic government in Khartoum. Once more, there was a deathly silence.

When are we going to say "Never Again" with respect to the people of Sudan? And more to the point, when - at long last - will the international community act on the meaning of those words?

But perhaps this is not the right question. I have begun to think that the right question to ask the so-called civilized world is to stop saying "Never Again" since those words carry no meaning. Why bother repeating the phrase when you know in your heart you do not mean it? That is the question I leave you with today. If we live in a world in which simple moral understanding is dead, perhaps we should at least have the decency to speak that truth. Lest us bury the empty words. It is an act of indecency to the victims to permit these words to have lost all meaning. Let us bury them along with the bodies of the innocent.

I ask this question as a victim of enslavement in Sudan; I ask it for my fellow Southern Sudanese who are always asking this question. My voice is their voice. We can not stop wondering why no one cares about our fate, why nobody does anything about it. We have been victimized by the Arabs in the name of the ideology of jihad, but no one seems to care. We have endured and are enduring the most systematic destruction of a people since the Nazi Holocaust, but our fate seems largely invisible to the world.

It is very painful to say this, but we Sudanese victims can not avoid uttering the truth, at least among ourselves: we are black, and therefore nobody cares about us. We are the ultimate victims of a global racism that continues even in the new millennium. We also have the great misfortune to be the victims of Arabs who slaughter and enslave us in the name of jihad. And everyone sitting here surely knows that when it comes to the ideology of jihad, open discourse at the Commission for Human Rights is muted. People refuse to speak the truth because no one wishes to be seen as anti-Islamic, especially not at the UN.

Finally, let me turn to address Muslim believers. Surely you know the enslavement and slaughter of millions of people is evil. Does your religion condone these crimes against humanity? If it does not, why don't you speak up to condemn these crimes, these sins? The genocide and slavery perpetrated by the government of Khartoum is done in the name of the ideology of jihad. Thus, these crimes appear to be committed, by implication, in your name, in the name of the religion you hold sacred.

If you are silent, I can not help but think you condone these crimes against humanity. If any religion, condones mass murder, slavery, religious persecution, systematic rape, forced starvation, and ethnic cleansing, what can be said about the peaceful, beneficent character of that religion?

I speak with an angry voice because I am a victim. I am a victim of the great evil of slavery. I have witnessed the slaughter of my people - the death of 3.5 million innocent human beings created in the image of God. My enslavement, the murder of my people - these crimes were often committed in the name of jihad. Muslims: if you believe your religion does not condone these crimes against humanity, shouldn't you collectively say it is wrong here at the UN?

As a child in Southern Sudan, I witnessed my people being slaughtered with my own eyes; I witnessed young girls and women being raped. As you surely know, the rape of black women in Sudan counts for nothing because the Arab regime of Khartoum sends its soldiers in the field to rape and murder because black African infidels are not judged to be entitled to human rights as defined by the international instruments. The ideology of jihad places infidels outside the law. No religious authority or system of justice holds the perpetrators responsible because their crimes are a matter of government policy and are sanctioned by the state religion, a religion that pretends to be universal but that slaughters the "other" without mercy.

In the Sudan I witnessed my people who escaped slaughter in the South become refugees. I assume all of you know how the Khartoum government deals with black African refugees: it denies food to the needy, water to the thirsting. To receive humane treatment as a refugee you must become a Muslim. Thus even the system of relief to needy refugees is part of a process of forced conversion.

There are 2-3 million Southern Sudanese refugees in another part of Sudan where they are treated like dogs; they are not even considered citizens because in Sudan citizenship is based on religion, and only Muslims qualify. The laws relating to citizenship rights place the nation's black African Christians at the bottom, in legal limbo without status or rights. Muslim men are first-class citizens. The second-class citizens of the Sudan are Arab Muslim men from any other Islamic country, and the third-class citizens are the Arab Muslim women. The infidel Africans of that nation are not considered by jihadists to be full citizens; this despite the fact that nearly 90% of the population is black African.

Let me draw to a close. In conclusion, I repeat the question that never stops troubling me and my fellow Sudanese who have suffered so terribly: how long will the world be silent? How long will the world let my so-called "infidel" people be slaughtered and enslaved in the name of the ideology of jihad? How long will the world silence moral judgment in a pointless effort not to offend the murderers and slavers and the supporters of murder and slavery? Is the sacrifice of ethical principle more important than not offending violent jihadists?

While the world watches on the sidelines, the government of Sudan wages its war of jihad against the black African people of the land, the true indigenous people of Sudan, focusing now on Darfur. Because the world has failed to act decisively millions have died, hundreds of thousands have been enslaved, hundreds of thousands have been raped, and millions more have traveled the painful path of exile. To be silent is to condone. The international community must accept responsibility for every evil that it could end yet chooses not to.

I direct these last words principally to the United Nations. Do you stand for all human rights? Do you stand for all human liberties? Do you care about the dignity of all of the people of the world, including those branded by jihadists as infidels? The questions I have asked are repeated every single day by millions of black Sudanese. Can you answer me?

The failure of the United Nations to guarantee the basic rights of the slaves of Sudan and other black African "infidels" is shameful beyond my ability to express.

Thank you very much.

An interview of Sudanese ex-slave Simon Deng, conducted at Stanford University, while he was there for a speaking engagement

Thanks to Smoothcriminal for uploading this powerfully honest documentary about the islamisation of Sudan. This was taped in 1993. Keeping in mind the millions who have died there since then, the central question of the film "Is the rise of islamic movements something the west should be worried about?" ... now answers itself.

The Sudanese Islamic Courts use the most brutal of means to convert Southerners to Islam. A young boy shuffles down the road in chains, another is brutally whipped by several men. A highly shocking report uncovering the worst side of Islam.
Sudan’s leadership discusses the West’s fears about the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism.
Includes the famous ‘boy in chains’ sequence at a Koranic school. Hundreds of armed women fighters illustrate the fundamentalist theme. Inside the notorious Kober Prison guards show where prisoners are routinely hanged. For lesser crimes Islamic Shariah Courts may impose flogging or amputation. Survivors of secret torture prisons (‘Ghost Houses’) tell their story. The government is accused of using unethical means to induce Southerners to convert to Islam. Near Khartoum 1.8 million war-displaced Southerners live disadvantaged lives. For three years the authorities have bulldozed homes and forced these disPlaced out into the desert. We speak to Sudan’s Minister of Housing - more appropriately ‘the Minister of Demolition’. We profile harsh conditions in a Koranic school where children are forced to memorise the Koran or spend years chained up. The reality of Sudan’s worst face of Islam is revealed in this comprehensive documentary. Nominated for Amnesty International Press Awards.

Sculpture: Nuba Survival

Watch it here


The UN aid programme in Sudan may have saved two million lives in the South from starvation. But in the remote Nuba mountains, the hungry claim that UN aid is being used as a weapon of war.

In this exclusive report we enter the Nuba Mountains that have been closed to outsiders for over a decade. Only a few aid agencies beat the government blockade to ship food in to a population hovering precariously on the verge of famine. The Nuba mountains are on the border of Muslim North Sudan and the Christian and animist South Sudan, but the Nuba people have always allied themselves with the Southern Sudanese SPLA rebels putting themselves in the firing line of the Islamic extremist government. They used to farm the plains but since government troops burnt and looted their villages most are scratching a living on the Mountains thin, rocky soils. When famine struck last year in Southern Sudan UN food aid was distributed to everybody expect the Nuba. Naima Kuku lost her husband to war then lost her child to the famine. "There was massive starvation, I was dehydrated and had no milk for my child." A local resistance commander reports 20 government attacks this year. 3000 civilians have been captured and taken to so-called Peace Camps. "They're not peaceful, " Nuba leader Youssef Khor tells us, "boys are taken to be trained as soldiers, the girls to be wives for the soldiers." Escapees recount tales of torture. Lined out in the sun, the rebels display their very own 200 POWs. About half are Nuba boys who were sent back by the government to fight their own. Many Nuba claim that the UN's aid Programme in Sudan has been manipulated by the ruling National Islamic Front to accelerate the regime's Programme of ethnic cleansing of the Nuba Mountains. UN food aid has been used to bring starving people into the notorious Government-run peace camps

About 3 centuries ago sudan had a phase of uncontrolled immigration of muslims from the arab peninsula. They have paid the price for this carelesness ever since, notleast in the last two decades where around 2 million people have died as a consequence of the gradual arabisation and islamisation. Nowhere is the double faced nature of islamic fascism more obvious than in sudan. Islamic jihad against other believers followed by a racist arab supremacism. 

Aug 2006
After centuries of persecution, Christians in Southern Sudan are desperate for their own state. But many question if the government in Khartoum will ever let the oil rich South go.
According to the peace accord, a referendum will be held to determine the South's future in 2011. The mostly Christian locals are pushing for independence from the Muslim North so that they can practice their faith in peace. In the North, they're banned from wearing crucifixes or speaking in local dialects. But with 75% of the oilfields located in the South, few expect Khartoum to relinquish control. "The North will to everything in its power to keep us second class citizens", predicts priest John Dingi Martino

This is an excellent documentary on the arab-african slavetrade produced by french ARTE dubbed in german and now at last, translated and subtitled into english. The translation is from the hand of VH, who always delivers excellent contributions to the counterjihad internet enlightenment. The subtitles were applied by vladtepesblog which I have already praised innumerous times for their great efforts. Also StopShariaLAw deserves special thanks for insisting that this documentary simply SCREAMS for a wider audience among the english speaking people.

- An instant classic, that belongs up there with all my other cherry-picks, so please take the time to watch it.
This documentary pierces through the whole web of lies and deceit surrounding black slavery. Spread throughout the free world by hostile communist and islamic ideologues. Contemplating the thousands of books dealing with the enslavement of africans is it not peculiar that only a handfull deals with the essential question - "who actually caught and enslaved the free black africans?".
According to this documentary it was in most cases either muslims or black-africans themselves. The europeans mainly bought the slaves from muslims trading their "kafirs" to the highest bidder.
Now, how about that! Why didn´t anybody care to tell us about this?
Contemplating all the Muhammad Alis, Malcolm Xs, black Panthers and the generations of wannabees following in their footsteps, adapting muslim names and carrying an awful grudge against all things white. - Don´t they have a right to know, that their ancestors were actually not "slaves of allah," but rather "slaves of muslims"? Muslim masters, who put them in chains, after killing their family, raping their women, burning and looting their villages. All done in order to fulfill the religious duty to subdue Kafirs in the path of Allah.
- The very same god the black militants of the 70s turned to worship.
The implications are mindboggling

"Even gods fight in vain against ignorance"... Apparently some Gods don´t care to fight it, they feast on it.

Slavery in Sudan is condemning thousands to a life in bondage.

Out of the bush emerge a line of 328 ragged Dinka men, women and children. They walk in silence behind their master -- a northern Sudanese slave trader. Slavery here is a tool of war. Raiders from the Islamic north come to raze the villages of the Christian south, from where the SPLA guerrillas mount their counter attacks. Into the equation have arrived Western NGOs. One of the most controversial is Christian Solidarity. Under the gaze of the slaves CS's John Eibner hands over £10,000 for their freedom. Once the Transaction is complete the freed slaves break into applause. Picking up a discarded bicycle wheel, Alek, whose feet have been chained for two years, runs off to play. Modern slavery has ravaged a whole generation of Dinka. Many of the former slaves' homes have been destroyed. And many more have been so disturbed by their experiences they cannot imagine a future. Alim was raped by her master and his friends, "I don't have the courage to carry on living," she says. The pressure to end the abhorrent practice is driving more charities to buy slaves freedom, but intervening may well be perpetuating the trade.

Robert spencer published an article on slavery as part of islamic ideology and practice in sudanhere

snatched from Dmartyrs #1 counter-jihad channel.

Islam institutionalized slavery. Muhammad began to take slaves after he moved to Medina, and had power. Slaves were usually taken in raids on nearby Arab tribes, or war, either through offensive or defensive actions. Islam allows the taking of slaves as "booty", or reward for fighting. This has led to numerous "jihads" by Muslim states and tribes to attack other non-Muslim groups and obtai More..n slaves. Islamic jurisprudence laid down regulations for the proper treatment of slaves. However, abuses have occurred throughout history.

The West is familiar with the history of slavery in the new world. It was sinful and terrible, and it lasted for several hundred years. And it was abolished mainly through the efforts of Christians in England (Wilberforce, Clarkson) and America (the Abolitionists, primarily Protestant).

However, few people in the west know about Islam and slavery. Most would be surprised that Islam authorizes the taking of slaves as spoils of war. From the days that Muhammad drew his sword to rob and conquer non-Muslims to this very day, Muslims have been taking non-Muslims, and even other black Muslims, as slaves.

Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they had conquered. Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go into inland to capture slaves, they were already waiting there, courtesy of some Muslim ruler, and/or slave broker! In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be enslaved by Arabs, or kept by other black Muslims as slaves.

Two years ago, Al Arabiya producer Nabil Kassem was asked to put together a documentary film on Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in this film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But 'Jihad on Horseback' never made it across the airwaves. Watch part 1 of the film to see perhaps the most provocative Arab documentary ever made.


***********

(upd. Europenews dug up this interview with Nabil Kassem)

Nabil Kassem on Arab media Darfur silence

Two years on, Nabil Kassem is still profoundly affected by his experiences in Sudan. Back in 2005, the documentary film maker was given the job of producing a $50,000 film for Al Arabiya about the crisis in Darfur.

What he witnessed there, and recorded in his film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But such was the indictment his film made on the Sudanese government and Arab Janjaweed militias, the final cut of Jihad on Horseback (Jihad ala Al Jiyad) never made it across the airwaves.

In this highly charged interview with Co-Editor and Publisher Lawrence Pintak, Kassem speaks of how with the help of a telephone Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir prevented the broadcast of perhaps the most provocative documentary film ever made by an Arab director.


Pintak: The documentary has been very controversial. Why is that? What is so controversial about covering Darfur for an Arab media outfit?

Kassem: I think it was the testimonies I got in Chad from the refugees. I found a woman holding a baby, she’d been raped. And the baby belonged to one of the Arabic attackers. She told me that this son’s father was from the Janjaweed. I found too many pregnant women who’d been raped from the Janjaweed.

Controversial—I don’t think it’s controversial. I think the Arab countries, especially the Sudanese, who are following the government now, they’re not ready to see the truth. What’s going on there—it is the truth. You know why? Because if you are an American, and two million of your people are sent away and thrown in the desert with no food and no water, I think there is a problem.

You have to feel. You have to see. You have to say no.

Most of the Arabic—Sudan is Arabic—they are living and denying what is going on in Sudan for the African tribals, and they are Sudanese also.

Pintak: What about Arabs, what about Arab governments and Arab media?

Kassem: They’re living in denial also. They don’t want to see. I think they thought the conflict is between the African and Arabs there in Darfur. I think they have to know that the conflict is between one people who hold one identity—all of them are Muslim—and sharing the same religion. The African tribes are Sudanese and they have their Sudanese identity and passports, and the Arab tribes they are also Sudanese.

I think it’s a war of race. When I interviewed the ministers there in Sudan and Musa Hilal (the United Nations says he’s responsible for genocide there in Darfur), I think they’re looking in a way that’s not that equal to the Africans, to the Sudanese Africans. So far in the Arab world they don’t know that it’s our race. It’s not an Arab conflict with another African conflict, it’s with Arab and African sharing the same land.

There was a genocide there—I saw too many graves. There were so many people who have been buried there.

I saw one million children, old women and men just like this on the desert. You don’t know why. And there are no Arabic organizations looking after them. Just Médecins Sans Frontières—a French organization—that is looking after them.

I thought then that maybe there is no justice in the world, I don’t know, maybe there is no God in that land. How come you throw a million people like this, like this, like this—whomever you ask why you are doing this, they told you, “Ahh this is not our conflict, this is an American and Israeli conflict, they want I don’t know what—there is diamonds here in Darfur, and there is fuel here and petrol and I don’t know what.” It’s ridiculous. I couldn’t believe this. Musa Hilal—you heard about Musa Hilal? Musa Hilal he told me, “But the government gave me guns to defend our lands.” But I thought, “How is he defending the land by throwing over a million people in the desert and in Chad?” He told me, “You know I have 20 million Arabs under my control?” I told him, “Why don’t you go and make yourself a president of Sudan?” He told me, “I’m thinking of doing this.” And imagine that a criminal like Musa Hilal would be the president of Sudan? They are liars and they are assassins. This is my personal view. This is not related to my station or to me as a journalist, this is my personal view.

Pintak: There’s a terrible line, statement in American newsrooms when African crises come up: “It’s just more flies on black faces,” meaning that it’s only Africans, who cares, it all looks the same. Is part of that what’s going on in the Arab media?

Kassem: I think so, I think so, I think so. Yes. The Arab media—I don’t know why they are denying this crisis as if it doesn’t exist. Omar Al Bashir, when he heard about my movie he started to call the king. I shouldn’t say this—you will publish this. He started to call too many weighty people to just stop this documentary. Because this documentary has testimonies, maybe he will fall down after if they publish it.

After all, after two years after Jihad on Horseback, everybody has started to know that we shouldn’t stand up and just turn our face like there is nothing going on. They have to do something, not analyzing all the time about petrol, about Israel, about America, about invasions from the West. I can’t see now that this is the problem.

The Sudanese government, Omar Hassan Bashir, threw these people on the land, they burned their villages, they raped and killed them for I don’t know what—what is the real reason.

Yes, most of the people in the Arab media are looking—this is just another African lost in the desert.

Pintak: Is there a defensiveness that Arabs might be doing this so we don’t want to talk about it?

Kassem: Yes I think so, I think so.

But you know this is ridiculous, because the other parties, the Africans, they are Muslims and they live on their lands, it’s Dar Al Fur, the land of Al Fur—do you know the real meaning of “Darfur”? “Dar” it means in Arabic, “home”, of Al Fur—Al Fur it’s the biggest black tribe in Darfur. So this is their lands—it’s named after them.

Pintak: Tell me what happened with the documentary. You produced it, and then?

Kassem: I did direct it and produce it, and then they didn’t air it because of too much pressure we cannot resist. We couldn’t resist that much pressure on us. So Omar Bashir he told me that because of me I did something not balanced, but you can’t be balanced with more than one million people have been thrown away, you can’t be balanced. And I always asked Musa Hilal and this interior minister and I don’t know who in Khartoum, “Please give me some documents that proves the Africans did that to the Arabs—burned their villages, killed Arab people, raped Arabic people from your tribe,” and they didn’t give me. But the African gave me all what they got. All of the documents and the show-real and you can see this in the documentary—you can see with your eyes the proof, the evidence about what the Arab people did to them. And because of this it is not balanced. Because he didn’t provide me documents. And he just refused. He’s always saying, this is what I know, and this is what I’m telling you and this is the truth. But prove it!

If it is a truth how come there is more than 1 million outside their villages—how come?

Why I didn’t find one Arabic from their tribe in the camp? In Chad or in Darfur? Why? Why there is not one Arabic in any camps, of the camps I visited. I visited all the camps in Chad. Why there is not one Arabic person? Why?

Where are they? Where are they? These Arabic people who the government says that the African expelled them out of their villages? Where are they? Where the graves of these dead people or where the women who have been raped by the African? You can’t see. They will not tell you or they don’t exist. They’re still in their villages. How come there are two million African outside, and there is not one from the Arabic tribe in a camp? Think about this!

Two million in front of zero from the Sudanese Arabic. How come? This is unfair. You can’t believe this. This is out of logic I think? No, don’t you think so?

You’ve been there? Ok, go and see.

If you see can see one Christian or one Sudanese Arabic there come and tell me. You will not find. All of them are African and Muslims. And there is nobody from the Arabic tribes in the camps or outside their villages.

Pintak: You’re very emotional about it obviously.

Kassem: It’s not “emotional”. When you see two million—most of them are children and nude. What, you’ll start to laugh. What will you do?

Pintak: Is it possible for journalists in that situation to remain detached?

Kassem: I cried when I see a group of very small children, some of them were girls and were trying to hide—because they were naked. And they looked at me and just tried to cover this area there. Yes I cried. I cried as a person. But you cannot be not emotional. You cannot be careless when you see people suffering like this. It was raining heavily, and they were sleeping under the rain and I was hiding in the car. So you will start to make a telephone call and to laugh or to what? You will cry, or you will be impressed, or you will be sad or something. At the end of the day we are human. Even I’m a journalist—we are human. When you see somebody in a group, hundreds of thousands of people, they are suffering—they are suffering and they are too sad. And they suffer from hunger and I don’t know what. Maybe it’s a conspiracy I don’t know what. But the fact is there is two million people outside their villages they are lost in the desert or in the camps. And they are raped. Most of them. Too many of them, of the women are raped. And I saw too many cases—and in Chad. Not in Sudan. You will not know the truth if you go to Sudan. You have to go to Chad. You have to visit the refugee camps in Chad. Not in Sudan, it’s worthless. Or you have to go to the liberated part of Darfur who is under the opposition control.

Don’t listen to these journalists who went to Al Fashir. The camps in Sudan and the government controls are very strict. Nobody dares to speak there. You cannot hear the misery. You can see it in the eyes. But the refuges couldn’t tell because they will beat them, or I don’t know stop supplying food to them or something like this. If you want to know the truth just go to Adri in Chad, see these camps, what’s gong on there. The diseases, the malaria, the hunger, and the children. Who can afford to see children naked?

Pintak: Do you have any hope that it’s going to change in terms of Arab attitudes?

Kassem: No I don’t have any hope about the Sudanese government because they close it with the Christian in the north, they open in Darfur—they want to be under the spots in any situation. I don’t think there is a hope with the current regime in Khartoum—they have to be dragged to the court.

Pintak: What about Arab pressure. King Abdullah just started talking about Darfur, the Prime Minister of Malaysia was there just the other day as we take this…

Kassem: It’s unbearable. Because you know it’s a shame when we see Tony Blair stand up or George Bush and say, “Stop this massacre now!” And we are the Arabs, and they are our people turning our face. You cannot hide the whole time—you cannot just turn your face and you don’t want to listen, or to hear or to see. There are two million people. I’m always speaking about my personal experience, take it as Nabil Kassem not as from Al Arabiya TV and don’t mention my TV. This is my personal view. Because of this I think I’m Darfurian now. Yes. Because there is people who are suffering, and if you can help them by speaking it would be good. And if there were, I don’t know, the Philippines who were suffering it would be our job as human beings to tell the truth. To tell what we saw.

I filmed my documentary—it’s great, it’s cinematic, there are too many testimonies in it. And you can check all that’s been undershot is the truth.

You cannot believe three people—the ministry of the interior or the intelligence ministry in Sudan. Or the President of Sudan and I don’t know what. Three people—Musa Hilal. You cannot believe them and say that two million people, they are lying.

Pintak: Nabil Kassem, producer and director of Jihad on Horseback, than you very much.

Heartbreaking documentary on the genocide in Darfur. It shows how the radical islamic government of Khartoum through a web of lies, alliances and deceit, have succeded in halting and postponing intervention from UN troops to stop the large scale genocide, still going on this very minute. When dealing with these people one should not even listen to what they say, but simply assume that they are practicing the age-old islamic "virtue" of al-taqiyya i.e. lying for the benefit of islam. Among the reasons they succeded in stalling international intervention, was (correct me if I am wrong): 1. Oil deals with china and support from the arab league in the UN 2. Ethnic cleansing of more moderate black muslims, alongside the expulsion and killings of all the non-muslims. This made the ethnic cleansing "unclean" in the eyes of the UN, with evergrowing demands of "evidence" from the arab league, supporting the case for a "clean" ethnic cleansing instead of a "mere" civil war. 3. Arming the paramilitant sadist arab looters of janjaweed, thereby diverting attention from the islamic government as such. This is a typical trick of many islamic and terrorist organisations to avoid blame. It is especially appalling to see how sudanese immigrants even here in the US are plantet at conferences, to shed doubt upon the obvious in order to prevent intervention. If you have the opportunity, please recommend this documentary to your friends and family.

Providing an in-depth look at modern, radical Islamic groups, JIHAD: THE MEN AND IDEAS BEHIND AL QAEDA explores the ideas and beliefs that inspire them, along with the challenges they pose for governments in the Middle East and the West.

With previously unseen footage and first-hand testimony from those who fought, planned, argued, met or lived with them, this is the inside story of Al Qaeda's three leaders: Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the recently killed leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi.
This film examines how the blood-soaked careers of these three men were driven by an evolving ideology of violence and hatred towards the West.

From the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1940s to Islamic organizations today, the film offers insightful perspectives of Islam from Western and Middle Eastern journalists, U.S. intelligence experts on the frontlines of the fight against Al Qaeda, and friends and contemporaries of Osama bin Laden and his lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahiri.

It is also the story of how the peaceful and noble religion of Islam was distorted by Islamist terrorists in the name of jihad.

Two years in the making, JIHAD: THE MEN AND IDEAS BEHIND AL QAEDA was filmed on location in the Middle East, Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, America and Britain.

Based on extensive original research, the film presents the story of the birth and evolution of Al Qaeda, not through the second-hand reporting of Western journalists, but through powerful testimony from first-hand witnesses.
