Muslim Passengers Throw Christians Overboard on Mediterranean Migrant Ship
Slate ^ | April 16, 2015 | Elliot Hannon

What has already been a particularly lethal week for migrants trying to make their way across the Mediterranean from North Africa to Europe took an even more grisly turn on Thursday, when a religious dispute broke out on a boat traveling from Libya to Italy and ended with a group of Muslim passengers throwing 12 Christian migrants overboard to their deaths.

Because, except for the occasional lone-wolf and the known radicals, most Mohammedans are totally peaceful and respect other peoples’ religions.

I read about that....not surprised though...but Italy sure has a terrible problem with all these immigrants flooding their country....they're crashing their systems in all respects. Thousands 'weekly' arriving...and mostly men.

It wasn’t a ship, it was a rubber raft.

“Diversity is out greatest strength” -worldwide liberals

Does the Italian left claim immigration is the best thing ever?

Arriving with no food, no jobs, rare familes to go to...these characters wouldn't make me feel comfortable no matter how so called "PeacefuL" they would claim to be.

What do you call a refugee ship full of Mohammedans at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea?

More than 5,600 boat migrants rescued off North Africa in past three days in 22 vessels....figure then a month and see what you get....it’s mind-boggling numbers! What are they going to do with all these people???? Most are illiterate and have completely different cultures, often backward in many ways. How can they possibly adapt and leave their culture behind? Not going to happen as I see it..

Around 3,500 are estimated to have drowned ‘last year’...estimated more than 170,000 migrants managed to reach Italy by sea that they know of...not counting those they don’t.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

3)To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2)A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3)A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4)A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5)A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6)A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7)A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8)A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

We know what time it is. Engage.

Some survivors who arrived in Sicily over the weekend told Italian authorities how ‘human traffickers’ threw a migrant’s corpse into the sea to ward off sharks following perilously close to their small boat trying to make it to Italy.

EU has been mulling the setting up of a naval blockade of Libya to stop the immigration....where they say they’re seeing the worst carnage since the fall of Gadaffi.

Islamists definatly have easy access to Libya so there’s no telling how many are crossing over...since thousands are arriving weekly, it would be next to impossible to pick out security threats...and they aren’t doing that because they’re so overwhelmed.

These immigrants/illegals etc. want an improved economic status but few have neither the attitude or aptitude to achieve this for themselves. Few will do so in these countries either once they locate the system.

What if some of these are carrying Ebola? or something else. I see no good coming out of Europe letting all these people in...why haven't they set up refuge camps in Africa and Libya rather than allowing this invasion into Europe? Man of these are African people with no skills or a mindset to adapt to European cultures. It's nasty business no matter how they go about it...and nothing good for their country as I see it. When you look at their home country all you see is disease and filth and lawlessness....and that is what will happen to these country's they're arriving in....convince me otherwise?

In the UK, not only are there more than 85 sharia courts in operation for Muslims, now British courts will be required to recognize sharia law for Muslims in civil cases. How long before non-Muslims will be forced to live under sharia? This is how it begins.

It’s the 90 percent of them that make the other 10 percent look bad.

And they still feel entitled to insert themselves into a forgiving Christian society...to be taken care of.

Italy’s solution is to give them train tickets and point them north. Legalities be damned.

Last I heard Germany has taken in about 500,000 ‘refugees’ in 2014.
