someone is fishing.
With warming water temperatures fish activity should increase this week. Hybrid striped bass should become active along the north shore between Seller’s Point and Watkins Island in four to eight feet of water. Try using chicken livers fished on the bottom or suspended under a bobber. Crappie and channel catfish are moving into more shallow water and the channels as the water temperature increases. Use small jigs or minnows to catch crappie in channel openings and around lily pad stems. Some saugeye are being caught, use jigs tipped with a minnow or crankbaits fished near the bottom. Saugeye must be 15 inches or longer to harvest. |

A little basic reading of what is going on instead of jumping straight on the islamaphobe bandwagon, which is as justifiable as blaming Christianity for the LRA.

'fraid I haven't kept notes on that one.
He doesn't talk specifically about Sudan, but Francis Cardinal Arinze is well worth listening to on the tensions between Muslims and Christians more generally. As a Nigerian Archbishop he knows first up what he is talking about and as the one time head of Catholic relations with other faiths has researched and thought through the issue properly including, no doubt, speaking to the Catholic bishops in Sudan, some of whom are on Khartoum's "shoot on sight" list.

Reps: 153,935,300,636,062,560 (power: 153,935,300,636,073) | | To date, Sudanese Armed Forces have destroyed 10 churchs, 17 mosques, 73 villages and 48 schools, resulting in an estimated 185,000 refugees fleeing from South Kordofan and the Blue Nile states into South Sudan and Ethiopia; the U.N. estimates the conflict has created nearly 400,000 refugees, most of them in danger of starvation. Sudan Forces Its Christians Out Posted on: 2012-03-22 03:28:42 by Joseph DeCaro, Worthy News Correspondent
KHARTOUM, SUDAN (Worthy News)-- Thousands of Christians stripped of their citizenship are now being forced out of Sudan in the wake of the South's secession back in January 2011.
Christians have until April 8 to either leave the Islamic northern state, or be treated as foreigners under a regime that is openly hostile to non-Arabs and non-Muslims. Good information Faith Man. Thank you! | | |
