While most U.S. attention has been focused on Iraq and the elections, developments in Sudan should not be overlooked.
While Sudanese rebels are demanding that "Islam be kept out of government in the war-torn region of Darfur" their request has been rejected by government negotiators who insist Sharia law should apply in northern Sudan.
Of course if this were an isolated incident, there would be nothing to fear, but Sharia is on the rise internationally, and will be coming soon to a western democracy near you, a fact well documented at www.jihadwatch.org.
How do we cope with intolerant Islam? As any good postmodern will tell you, just rewrite the history for a safer, gentler Islam.
