#1 Found some biblio on Ahmad:
On the political history of Sudan from independence to the end of multiparty democracy in the late 1980.

Here is another take:
''Ahmed, prominent Islamist journalist and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, had reviewed an old Islamic manuscript written more than 500 years ago, which casts doubt over the parentage of the Muslim Prophet.

The manuscript entitled ''The Unknown in the Life of the Prophet'' by Maqreezi, a well-known Islamist historian, says that the prophet Mohammed's father was not Abdullah, as Muslims believe.''

Something does not add up. MB has never been in vogue with Arab governments, they've always considered it a threat to their power structure.

Of course, MB's are no angels. They may be 'pro-democracy' at the present as that would enable them to get some political capital. Once the goal would be achieved, democracy would be replaced by more 'just' system, uber-sharia.

In the light of some wide sweeps on MB in Egypt lately, maybe the same is planned in Sudan. Accuse someone of apostasy and link to MB, and viola, causus belli!

#2 Lol - whom should I root for, heh.

Hell, if it's the ''law'', well, then so be it. This might be the only time I'll ever find myself thinking the ''Sudanese Govt'' is doing a good thing. So fry 'im up, then eat your Drano, like good little genocidal asstards.

Popcorn goes so well with asshat-on-asshat displays.
