Darfur refugee hails al-Bashir warrant - 04 Mar 09

In New York, hundreds of refugees from Darfur welcomed the move by the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president.

Al Jazeera met one such refugee who was among those who clashed with supporters of al-Bashir outside the Sudanese mission to the United Nations on Wednesday.

He has settled in Brooklyn's Kensington neighborhood, a haven for refugees who've fled Darfur. Here is his story in his own words.

Prison isn't enough for Al Bashir, even if you break the geneva conventions, there just is never enough to make him feel the pain darfuris feel. I hope that when he is arrested he remains in prison.

Sudan is not an Island, remember Yugoslavia? time. Is not about religion, but about respect for human dignity, which most African leaders do not understand. Charles Taylor and his American son learnt this in a hard way, Mugabe too and his cohort will if he's still alive for pay back.

Assalamu Alaikkum bro, kamajiboy is a spam and deliberately provoking and is pointless explaining since his video uploads says such.

Let s pray for these people.

Whoever God guides none can misguide , whoever been misguided none can guide.

For some God increase their narrowness and evil deeds , as some men and ginn are fuels for jahannam. ( i dont assert we are chosen people but on that Day it s the wholesome heart)

these people will never understand islam and the beauty of spirituality .

When we say 54 year old Muhammad had sex with 9 year old child, Muslims brush it away and bring all sorts of excuses to justify this shameful act. This is the nature of blind faith and cognitive dissonance. Maybe by visualizing it, some of them will would come to their senses and realize how evil this fiend they call prophet, was. There is not a single proof that this man was a prophet while there are tons of evidences that he was an evil man.

But proof that he wasnt abusive in any way came when the entire city of Mecca acused this girl of cheating [she had grown up by then] on the Prophet. If he were abusive, would he not have hurt her or even killed her then? no one would have stopped him. But he didn't. He didn't so much as say an unkind word to her. Any other man would have went ballistic! This man that u accuse of being pedo and abusive was everything to her from the start: a father and a husband. She was thankful, and lucky.

[OhEmGeeitszHend]

oo so u kno since u got ur facts right and everything, why didn't the nine year old speak ill of him when he died? Why didn't she tell the world he was a rapist and abusive? Her father died, Muhammed died, everyone who would have stopped her died, and yet she said only great things about him. She was one of the most knowledgeable abt Islam, even the men came to her. But, you might say she was brainwashed right?

mohammed was a pedophile who raped a 9 year old girl - he was a sick perverted criminal

[OhEmGeeitszHend]

excuse me. you don't know anything about islam to judge it. you go out and look @ all the people who kill and rape in the name of it and decide "o those dam muslims" but we don't do the same 4 christians

Our religion is a peaceful religion. If some people do something, doesnt mean we're all like that

Do some research. Jesus talked about our prophet and spoke of him so respectfully that he would be ashamed if he heard u right now. Its in the bible.

There is no cure to Africas woes because they have an average IQ of 70, which basically means half the people in Africa are retarded. You cant do anything in such a position, there is no way to get rich or progress. Africa is an eternal hellhole. No matter what leaders they elect, what policies they implement, how they criticize themselves, what they do, Africa is doomed to be a hell on Earth.

So it's okay to kill and murder children as long as you're not an imperialist. Gotcha. Nice logic you've got there.
