But Hollywood is Concerned About Darfur!

Bin Laden wants a jihad against peacekeepers deployed in Sudan:

Osama Bin Laden renewed his call for a holy war against a proposed peacekeeping force in Sudan's wartorn region of Darfur in a message that appeared on Web sites Tuesday.

The audio recording was accompanied by a still picture of the al Qaeda leader, and excerpts were aired Monday by Al-Jazeera television.

Bin Laden called for foreign forces to be driven from Darfur.

"It is the duty of the people of Islam in the Sudan and its environs, especially the Arabian Peninsula, to perform jihad against the Crusader invaders and wage armed rebellion to remove those who let them in," he said, according to a transcript provided by IntelCenter, which monitors extremist Web sites.


Islamists defend the right of the Sudanese government to slaughter black Sudanese?

But George Clooney supports doing something about the horrors of Darfur! Now we find that Darfurians should really start engaging in a self loathing session to understand why al Qaeda hates them!

The thing is, everyone knows that if we intervened in force in Darfur and al Qaeda resisted us, Hollywood would abandon their support for a Darfur rescue mission faster than you can scrape a "Save Darfur" bumper sticker from you sensible Volvo.
