Mohamed the Teddy Bear and Genocide

The Sudanese regime has a long blood splattered track record. 
Without generating much attention, let alone condemnation,
in the West, they waged a war of anihilation against the Animists 
and Christians in the South of the country. Why?So as to ram
sharia law down their throats.It is only when they decide to wipe
out the black muslim Darfuris that they get a bit of tut-tutting
and hand-wringing from round the world. Seizing the opportunity
of the teddy bear affaire, I, in my Colonel Blimp from Seven Oaks
mode,dashed off the following letter to the Times.
To my delight and surprise, it was printed today.
letter
Sir,The grotesque prosecution of Gillian Gibbons
( report, Nov 29 ) is charactaristic of a regime in Khartoum
that sedulously pursues one of the most violent interpretations
of Islam. In its efforts to impose Sharia*, it has over 20 years
killed about two million Southern Sudanese Animists and
Christians. This murderous jihad included mass rapes,
enslavements and forced  conversions. The recent and
continuing racist atrocities and land grabs committed
against its black African co-religionists in Darfur
are common knowledge. Protected by the energy
hungry China and honoured by the UN with membership,
of all things, of its Commission on Human Rights,
Khartoum has come to beleive it is free to take any action it
wants, including, most worryingly, the resumption of its assault
on Southern Sudan.

The very least that the UK and the civilised world can
do is to press for the indictment before the International
Court of Human Rights of those identified responsible members
of the Khartoum ruling elite.

*In my original letter I had written;
... in its efforts to impose the delights of Sharia law...
I guess being sarcastic about Sharia is not yet
permissible even in the Times.
Oh, well.
