Muslims gang-rape 13-year Christian girl

Compass Direct reports that Muslim villagers in Mymensingh district eager to rid the area of the Christian work of a local pastor have gang-raped his 13-year-old daughter. Pastor Motilal Das of United Bethany Church said that at around 3 a.m. on Friday (May 2) the villagers sexually assaulted his daughter, Elina Das, and left her unconscious in front of his house in an attempt to drive him and his Christian ministry out of Laksmipur village in Fulbaria sub-district, 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of the capital. Local residents have long been angry with him for his ministry and evangelism, he said, and he has received death threats. I did not pay attention to any of the threats or hindrances I continued evangelical and pastoral activities with prayer, Das told Compass. When nothing stopped me, then they wanted to leave me scarred for life, so that I would be upset and not be able to show my face to the society for shame, and therefore I would leave the village.

Sudanese government continues its attrocities in Darfur

I received this information from Cindy Castano, who serves as a treasurer with Darfur Peace & Development Organization. She is also a filmmaker. Last year we met, and she gave me a trailer from her ongoing project My Slave, My Infidel. The film is a documentary about how Christians are kidnapped by Muslims and sold as slaves to other Muslims. It has some very strong scenes.

This is what she wrote:
I regret to inform you that one of our DPDO schools, Shegekaro, was bombed over the weekend killing 7 students. We are all deeply saddened by this tragic news and our hearts go out to those parents who have lost children. Shegekaro is a Darfur Diaries supported school and Sulliman determined it most prudent to let them handle the official press release. The BBC is already reporting the event here.
