Do you think Jesse Jackson will be denouncing this violence against his fellow black Christian brothers?

Anyone else tired of rampaging muslims?

It doesn't matter what the skin color, nationality, or language is - this sorry excuse for a religion is a cancer on our species.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt for years. Shame on me.

Is anybody else put off by the slant of this article?

Muslims rampaging to avenge the slaughter of hundreds of Muslims by Christians...

Christians cowering in barracks and police stations...

What the article fails to mention (at least in the lead section, which was all I could stomach) was that the Christian's "slaughter" of Muslims was preemptive as the same group of Muslims had been slaughtering another Christian town.
