Omdurman - How They Used To Deal With Jihadists

A classic scene from the movie Young Winston. A good demonstration of how the British and Egyptian militaries dealt with the victorian Isis!!!!!Some people writing comments seem to be very misinformed about the history of this conflict. The British did not have control of the Sudan. It was under Egyptian control. The Mahdi called a jihad to destroy all muslims that opposed his self proposed righteousness. He believed himself to be the reborn prophet Mohammed. He intended to invade the whole of northern Africa, the middle east and the Ottoman empire. He would slowly purge everyone who did not worship him.Upon completion of this task, he intended to purge europe, asia and the world of all the non islam heathens as well. All ready facing invasion by the Mahdi and his literally millions of sycophantic followers. Egypt asked for Great Britain's help to stop the Mahdi's horde before it could threaten southern Egypt and Cairo itself. Realizing that the Jihadist horde taking Cairo would cost Britain it's most vital trade root through the Suez Canal and the potential threat to the stability of the region as a whole, the British government agreed to send military assistance.And so a MUSLIM nation & a CHRISTIAN nation defeated the hardline, bloodthirsty and barbaric horde of the Mahdi TOGETHER.
