Little has been written of the conflict in Sudan, where thousands of men women and children have been slaughtered by government forces backed by a violent militia. Africa is home to numerous civil wars and conflicts, perhaps that is the reason why the conflict in Sudan doesn’t garner much media attention, but then again perhaps the absence of media coverage has more to do with the nature of the war being waged the Dafur region of Sudan.

To call attention to this conflict would scuttle the leftist argument that terror began with the war in Iraq, is directed solely against the US and its Iraq war allies and is a direct result of Bush administration’s policies, all of which are nonsense.

For such a premise to hold water one must discount the countless Islamic terrorist acts that take place everyday that do not involve the US, dating back over 40 years, including the present day conflict in Sudan.

Today, thousands of Islamic radicals, including members of Al Qaeda, are flooding to that impoverished region to wage war. This war pits Muslim Arab Sudanese in the north against Black Africans in Southern Dafur, many of whom are Christian, Animists and other tribal faiths. Groups like the Janjaweed, an Arab militia, have swept through towns eradicating every last vestige of the town’s inhabitants. All in the name of ethnic cleansing. This conflict in Sudan highlights the inescapable reality of a world wide Pan-Islamic movement to wipe out infidels wherever they may be found, whether its on the streets of the United Kingdom, India, Thailand, the Philippines, Russia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, Spain, Sudan, the US or hundreds of other locations. This war is being fought along a 25,000 mile front, a reality the left conveniently ignores as they fight their own personal war against George Bush, regardless of the consequences.
