Somali militants who murdered 48 people in a Kenyan village as they watched the World Cup went door to door asking residents if they were Muslim or spoke Somali - and shot them dead if either answer was 'no', witnesses revealed today.

The attack on the coastal village of Mpeketoni, about 30-miles southwest of the tourist centre of Lamu, came at the end of a weekend of bloodshed that has exposed the world to the shocking depravity of terrorists, apparently emboldened by each other's acts.

Witnesses told how about 30 gunmen - believed to be members of Somali terror group al-Shabaab - arrived in the town in minibuses at 8pm yesterday before bursting into residents homes, shooting dead any man they thought was not Muslim.

'They came to our house at around 8pm and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims,' said Anne Gathigi. 'My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest.'

Another resident, John Waweru, said his two brothers were killed because the attackers did not like that the brothers did not speak Somali.

'My brothers who stay next door to me were killed as I watched. I was peeping from my window and I clearly heard them speak to my brothers in Somali and it seems since my brothers did not meet their expectations, they sprayed them with bullets and moved on,' said Waweru.

In Kenya, dozens of extremists attacked a Kenyan coastal town for hours, killing those who weren't Muslim and those who didn't know the Somali language, officials and witnesses said today. At least 48 people were killed and two hotels were set on fire.

Stock up on bacon grease. If you don’t want to use it in your hollow points, just shoot it in their eyes!

Don’t you all just love how great the UN is when it comes to protecting Religious freedoms......

(crickets)

If I were the president of the US I would cut all funding for ANY country that has a policy of punishing apostates of any religious or political group or who punishes any religious group.

I would save a damn bundle of money in the process as all islamic countries would be immediately cut off, heck i would take 1/2 the money saved and send it to Israel just to spite these backward savages.

Could I Taylor Pork Roll in heaven forever, instead?

EU has much more to fear from an Obama Presidency than Americans. I lived in South America throughout the years, and have had a bizarre sense of Deja Vu with Obama. Americans are concerned about Socialism, but the reality is it is about money and control. The cartels are in charge, they’re powerfull, and they have MANY unholy alliances. This article truly connects the dots in ways that I believe most journalist are afraid to.

The Christians will LIVE forever in Heaven. Not so for the unbelievers.
And you shall take...the long lobe of the liver...and burn them on the altar.

I knew a Lebanese Druze. They knew the names of the various militia leaders for the various sects. He could duplicate any accent. He told a story about when he was much smaller during the Civil War. Suddenly the group of cars they were traveling with were stopped. Men held guns on them while others went down the line. The gunmen would ask the driver a question, then drag the people out and shoot them. The driver, his older brother and a doctor told him, “Don’t say a word. The way you talk will give us away. I’ll do the talking.” When the shooter got to his window he asked, “Who are you?” His brother snorted a laugh and said, “We’re on our way to Mohamed xxxx (militia leader) in (name of village along the route.)” The shooter smiled and greeted him. He stood back and motioned them around. The others moved the corpses out of the way so they could drive on.

Answering, “I’m Christian,” is just plain stupid.
