Clash of the Worlds: Sudan

"Clash of the Worlds" series special on the Muslim revolt in Sudan.
The same picture we see in every country, every religion and every government: Oppression.

19th century British victorians aspired to bring "light" to the "Dark continent" (Africa).
They wanted to abolish slavery and impose on foreign governmental and moral affairs. All while profiting from monetary gain and self-righteousness.
Seen as savages for refusing Christianity, the Muslims revolted against British rule.
Causing holy wars for years to come.


This happens all too often. Religious oppression has, and always will be a factor of human nature. We tend to ostracize those who worship differently than we do. We tend to kill others in the name of our god, to show our god that we are loyal.


We all have a different idea of what our god is. Most of the world will scoff at other religions and label them as archaic or unstructured. We all have an "insight" or a strong opinion on most world religions. We all judge or put labels on certain actions. What makes us cross the line and commit murder for our god?
