The world has acquiesced shamefully in the Darfur genocide, perhaps because 320,000 deaths this year (a best-case projection from the U.S. Agency for International Development) seems like one more boring statistic. Worst of all, has been the virtual SILENCE by the so-called "Muslim" Arabists. We see a state of the Ummah where the actions of any nation can be criticized, where Islam exists as a vibrant and political force... Unless, of course, the oppressor being spoken out against are Arabs or otherwise culturally nominal "Muslims" who in fact do not follow "Islam" but "Arabism." This is not to say such is the case with ALL Arabs, but according to the Ahl'ul-Bayt (as) - foretelling this age of oppression - it is the case with MOST.

In response to the question "How many of those who will accompany Al-Qa'im are `Arabs" Ja'far (عليه سلام) said "Very few (shay'un yasir)," then someone said, "But numerous are the `Arabs who profess this Cause," and Ja'far replied "People will inevitably be chosen, separated, sifted through; many are those who will fall through the sifter."

Late last year the Sudanese government resolved to crush a rebellion in Darfur, a region the size of France in western Sudan. Sudan armed and paid a militia of Arab raiders, the Janjaweed, and authorized them to slaughter and drive out members of the Zaghawa, Masalit and Fur tribes.

On March 12, our innocent Muslim SISTER Magboula Muhammad Khattar, a 24-year-old widow, was performing her Salat'ul-Fajr about 4 a.m. when a Sudanese government Antonov aircraft started dropping bombs on Ab-Layha, which is made up of Zaghawa tribespeople. Moments later, more than 1,000 Janjaweed attackers rode into the village on horses and camels, backed by Sudanese government troops in trucks.

"The Janjaweed shouted: `We will not allow blacks here. We will not let Zaghawa here. This land is only for Arabs,' " our SISTER Khattar recalled.

SISTER Khattar grabbed her children, and, as shots and flames raged around her, raced for a nearby forest. But her father and mother tried to protect their animals — they were yelling, "Don't take our livestock." They were both shot dead.

The attack was part of a deliberate strategy to ensure that the village would be forever uninhabitable, that the Zaghawa could never live there again. The Janjaweed poisoned wells by stuffing them with the corpses of people and donkeys. They also blew up a dam that supplied water to the farms, destroyed seven hand pumps in the village and burned all the homes and even the village school, the clinic and the mosque.

By most accounts, about 100 people were massacred that day in Ab-Layha, and a particular effort was made to exterminate all men and boys, even the very young. Women and girls were sometimes allowed to flee, but the prettiest were kidnapped.

Most of those raped don't want to talk about it. But Zahra Abd'ul-Karim, a 30-year-old woman, told me how in the same attack on Ab-Layha, the Janjaweed shot to death her husband, Adam, and 7-year-old son, Rahshid, as well as three of her brothers. Then they grabbed her 4-year-old son, Rasheed, from her arms and cut his throat.

The Janjaweed took her and her two sisters away on horses and gang-raped them, she said. The troops shot one sister, Kuttuma, and cut the throat of the other, Fatima, and they discussed how to mutilate her. (Sexual humiliation has been part of the Sudanese strategy to drive out the African tribespeople. The Janjaweed routinely add to the stigma by branding or scarring the women they rape.)

"One Janjaweed said: `You belong to me. You are a slave to the Arabs, and this is the sign of a slave,' " she recalled. He slashed her leg with a sword before letting her hobble away, stark naked. Other villagers confirmed that they had found her naked and bleeding, and she showed me the scar on her leg.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'id narrated from Ahmad ibn Yusuf ibn Ya'qub al-Ju'fi from Isma'il ibn Mihran from al-Hassan ibn `Ali ibn Abu Hamza from his father from Abu Basir that Abu `Abd'ullah as-Sadiq (عليه سلام) had said:

"When our man (al-Qa'im) rises, then the corner and the temple being paid homage to rule over the people with a new method. He will be sever with the `Arabs. Woe unto the `Arabs from a soon evil."

Behind the closed door of a classroom, in the school compound where she has been living for the last two months, 35 year-old rape-victim Khadija, spoke of her ordeal.

"The Janjaweed arrived one evening in February in our village near Kaileck, they had guns," she says in a quiet voice.

"They followed us when we tried to escape. The group of people I was with was forced back to Kaileck. They had surrounded the whole town."

"They separated men and women. Then the Janjaweed selected the prettiest women."

"Four men raped me for 10 days."

"Every day, women were picked up, taken to the bush where they were raped and brought back to Kaileck. The next day it would start again."

In the religion of Islam, for the Shi'a, the partisans of the Ahl'ul-Bayt (عليهم سلام), one must not merely do the typical "five pillars" of Islam, but ALSO take part in the STRUGGLE (Jihad), ALSO "Enjoin what is right" and "Forbid what is evil." WHERE is the so-called "Muslim" outrage? Where in Palestine or Iraq are there death tolls even REMOTELY approaching these? Why are the Arab OPPRESSORS allowed a free pass to RAPE and MURDER our Muslim Brothers and Sisters in the Sudan?

Our solution is not only for ourselves, for our personal spiritual liberation, but also for the world. These oppressors have one choice: CHANGE OR DIE. Should ANYONE provide members of the Taliy'ah al-Mahdi with funding in the way of 5 Million dollars, we offer to deal vigilantly with these genocidal Arab kuffar just the same as our offer stands to deal with the Taliban and their head kafir, the so-called "Mulla" Umar.

We will do what we can, not only by spreading the word about this OPPRESSION (Jihad of the tongue), but should we be provided with the MEANS, we will wage Jihad by other more direct means against the Arab OPPRESSORS of our MUSLIM brothers and sisters in the Sudan.

There is no room in Islam for silent outrage, or for sitting on one's hands whilst hundreds of thousands of innocent lives are lost annual in the genocide.

Do not ask any longer why our Brothers and Sisters in the Sudan are dying. While rich nominal Muslims donate unimaginable chunks of wealth to fund the Taliban and Wahhabi, throat-slitting terrorists, we are READY, WILLING and ABLE to destroy these oppressors in the Sudan. If they continue to die, it is ONLY because the means are being REFUSED to be directed to the small force of Mujahidin, rising from the West, who can stop them.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’id narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Mufadhdhal ibn Ibrahim from Muhammad ibn `Abd'ullah ibn Zurara from Al-Harith ibn Al-Mughira and Thurayh al-Muharibi that Abu `Abd'ullah as-Sadiq (عليه سلام) had said:

“Nothing remains between us and the `Arabs except slaughter.”

May Allah hasten the end of suffering through the Imam's Rise!

P.S. Shouldn’t Khums be going to Sudan ?
