Izzit my imagination of do the Muzzies seem emboldened this week? Hmmmmmm.....why now?

[sionnsar]

Act a bit like CA gays...? (No beheadings yet by the latter...)

[Cowboy Bob]

A local journalist told the BBC that Muslim opposition supporters had gone on the rampage when they heard their candidate to head the council had lost.

Sounds a lot like Democrats.

[ronnie raygun]

Will we ever come to realize that this is a world wide problem that has to be delt with quickly and severly, or we will all be victims of it

[nufsed]

We’re too locked into the national model. We have to see it as worldwide.

[skimask]

Now it becomes clear....Democrats and Muzzies have a lot more in common they either group is willing to admit.

[AbeKrieger]

They need to be removed from society and sent back to the third world cesspools that bred them. Given freedom and opportunity they still behave like animals. Some don’t, but those that do represent every single one.

[JamesA]

One shot one kill..end of problem

[RegulatorCountry]

Election riots, election riots ... Thailand, Nigeria, hmmm, I wonder why this is such a popular topic in the news of late?

[nufsed]

LOL. They’re in a third world cesspool.

[Fresh Wind]

Nigeria? Uh, oh, does this mean I won’t be getting that $20 million that I’ve been promised?

[Free ThinkerNY]

Barack Obama's cousin Raila Odinga's followers rioted and killed after he lost the presidential election in Kenya.

[AbeKrieger]

Yes, but I am also referring to the ones that are on our shores. It is not too late.

Excerpt:

"Reacting to the crisis, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the state, Arch Bishop Ignatius Kaigama expressed shock that churches and clergy men became targets over a purely political matter.

Addressing a press conference, yesterday, he called on the state government to come to the aid of those displaced or injured and to bring to book those behind the crisis.

“We are greatly taken aback by the turn of events in Jos. We thought it was a political issue, but, from all indications, it is not so. We are surprised at the way some of our churches and property were attacked and some of our faithful and clergy killed.

“The attacks were carefully planned and executed. The questions that bog our minds are: Why were churches and clergy attacked and killed? Why were politicians and political party offices not attacked, if it was a political conflict? Why were the business premises and property of innocent civilians destroyed? We strongly feel that it was not political but a pre-meditated act under the guise of elections”, CAN said."

Please let us know if any of you hear any mention of this in your church.

It would be interesting to know how often, in these days when Christians all over the world under under greater attack and persecution than they have been for several hundred years, this worldwide phenomenon is discussed by comparison, let us say to such burning questions (so to speak) as whether homosexuals should be ordained.
