Christian Militia Could Wipe Out Central African Republic's Muslim Population ...

Christian militia taking revenge on the Central African Republic's Muslim population could drive the entire Islamic group out of the country, a human rights group claimed earlier this week.

The anti-balaka ("anti-machete") has increasingly fought back against the country's minority Muslim population since the Muslim Seleka rebel group antagonized the country's Christians.

Human Rights Watch employees in the Central African Republic have claimed to have witnessed anti-balaka forces cutting "the throats of Muslim civilians, publicly lynching, mutilating, and setting their bodies on fire." It also reported attacks where the groups had cut off body parts or hacked Muslims to death.

It pointed to Yaloké, which prior to the arrival of anti-balaka forces boasted an estimated Muslim population of 30,000 and eight mosques. Now, it is reported that the town has only one mosque and 500 Muslims. Many Muslim homes in the area were also looted by members of the Christian militia.

The report also listed four other former "Muslim strongholds" that were now totally devoid of residents and whose shops and business have been looted by anti-balaka forces.

Peter Bouckaert, Emergencies director at HRW, said there is a good chance that such terrors will drive out a Muslim population which has lived for hundreds of years in the region.

"At this rate, if the targeted violence continues, there will be no Muslims left in much of the Central African Republic. People whose families have peacefully lived in the country for centuries are being forced to leave, or are fleeing the very real threat of violence against them," he said in a statement.

What other choice do the Christians have? Well, slavery is an interesting option, or they could submit to being mufrdered sothat some good mussulmans can get their 72 raisins or whatever, or they could become dhimmi and what that entails.

....a Muslim population which has lived for hundreds of years in the region.

A phrasing that delicately overlooks exactly why and how the Muslims set up shop in Central Africa: To wipe out existing African rule to facilitate the international slave trade that they were setting up.

Isn’t this the way that the hypocrite liberal media treat the Israelis? Palestinians can lob thousands of rockets into Israeli towns without so much as a peep in our mainstream media but let the Israelis strike back and the liberal hypocrits are wailing and nashing their teeth.

Murder is murder. It's wrong if Muslims do it, and it's wrong if Christians do it. I understand the impulse, but righteous anger can become murderous atrocity very easily.

What would Christ have to say about this?

I doubt He'd be gleeful.

Enough said.

That's all I need to know. They are taking concrete measures to enhance their own chances of survival.

Drive them out and they will be given asylum and have mosques built for them in Dubuque or Winterhaven.

A population is actually defending itself. Eventually this has to bring down the wrath of the most powerful Moslem in the world.

That wouldn't by any chance, be the Obungler would it?

Sounds like fun. Can anyone play? I like a militia defending itself by using the tactics of it’s enemy.

It's called: Addition by subtraction.

a Muslim population which has lived for hundreds of years in the region

So, a cancer which had been festering for that long, is finally getting eradicated? I see a more healthy patient as a result.

That would be a great contribution to peace in the Central African Republic — driving the Muslims OUT.
