Cannibals are from New Guinea, not from the Congo.
Most Congolese are Catholic; when ‘s the last time you read of any non-Muslim African immigrants causing trouble here ?

Thanks for responding to that - I was about to, and it would not have come out as nicely as yours did. Sometimes I wish FReepers did some basic research on matters ...I've seen some posts (not this one- far worse) that could have come from some DUmmie over at DU.

Actually, the level of Catholic growth in Africa (which has been growing from the late 50s) is so frenetic that there are people being selected to be priests in Europe (where the Church has been declining at such a level that getting new priests is quite difficult).

As for the cannibalism ...I would be good money the location of New Guinea is a mystery to most (and that the response would be the usual 'who cares,' which some feel shows elegant nonchalance when it veritably proves an atrophied, and basely asinine, level of mental acuity and logic incoherence).

The Korowai tribe of south-eastern Papua could be one of the last surviving tribes in the world engaging in cannibalism, although there have been media reports of soldiers/rebels in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia eating body parts to intimidate child soldiers or captives.

I wish FReepers would do some some basic research on these matters.
