1,000 Catholics Massacred in Ivory Coast
CatholicVote ^ | 4-4-11 | Thomas Peters

Posted on 04/04/2011 1:22:40 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Please pray for these victims. It’s an underreported story that took place over the weekend. This from Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit:

At least 1,000 Christians were slaughtered this week in the Salesian Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus mission in Duekou, Ivory Coast by Muslim troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara. The state-run media has been slow to report the facts.

The conflict in Ivory Coast began in 2002. The country is divided between the Muslim north and Christian south. This is a conflict that has been brewing for years.

Troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the Muslim opposition leader, moved south this past week. They slaughtered 1,000 civilians in Duekoue last week. The victims were mostly men who were shot as they fled the city.

The Religion of Pieces massacring Christians, and the US media stays silent about it. Are they afraid reporting it might harm Obama?

I LITERALLY could not find this from any major US news source!

Nothing to see here. Move along.
They were only Christians. They must have pissed off some muzzies by praying, or something.

WHERE’S WALDO?????

Where is our leadership’s rage? I’m supposed to respect the Muslim, but am not allowed to expect his in return.

I’m not Catholic, but I’m sure we’ll hear nothing but crickets from the news media.

UNKO, it is apparently now our duty to come to the aid of people being harmed by their “leadership”. IMO, we should come to the aid of these Christians, as a Christian nation which we are, regardless of what El Dopeo in the white house thinks. No boots on the ground though, a few dozen ArcLight raids would be just great. Cut a few swathes through the Mussie hordes, and keep it up as necessary.

Without the burning of a koran, it just ain't news!

sadly there are FReepers who see no difference between this and burning a Koran.

And now the UN is firing on the loyalist troops and aiding the Muslim insurrectionists. There are no good sides here, but I am suspicious of the UN taking sides based upon their assessment of the legitimacy of the Presidential election. This is another civil war - the Muslim North against the Christian South and the mass killing of Christians doesn't seem to get much attention.

Prayers to those killed and their families

And, it is time for those who are attacking Pastor Terry Jones to start waking up.

If you are attacking Terry Jones, you are supporting the faith (Islam) that finds any reason to kill non-believers

While Muslims and their apologists in America decry the burning of a Koran....they say nothing when their fellow Muslims murder 1000 Christians.

I'll admit that that I have some issues with the Catholic church, but I'm with you.

Islam will not stop until everybody is dead or converted.

It doesn’t fit the approved agenda from the Socialist in Chief.

Well of course not. One, Mulsims killing Christians looks bad for the Muslim sympathetic admin. Two, this is another humanitarian crisis that if revealed, then by standards of teh Obama doctrine, we should go in to protect the rest of the Christians.

I read some other articles on this and they are not reporting how many died but just that action is needed. Sadly US media would only be breaking in reporting this if it were muslims or any other religion other than Christianity.

We will lose many skilled members of the military. I personally would not re-up if he was my Commander in Chief.

I guarantee that of those serving under him are constantly queasy.
