Being concerned for those around the world

You'd think genocide would be beyond us in these modern times, but instead its actually been more prevelant these last fifty years than it was before. The current problem is in Sudan where the government and militas have been wiping out the ethnic population or destroying the infrastructure for nearly one million people.

While these people are primarily Muslim, they do not deserve this type of destruction and a future of little hope, starvation and lingering death. As a Christian I am commanded to love all people (as Christ did), and to win converts by example and by love, not wipe them off the face of the earth old testament style. One also needs to remember that there are far more muslim than christians in the world, and we ignore these events at our own peril as extremist muslims could easily use this event to fan the flames of hate against us (as if they needed any more ammunition).

I pray that attention continues to be directed on the attacks and plight of these people and that they survive this dangerous time.
