Kenyan Muslims shield Christians in Mandera bus attack
BBC ^

Posted on 12/21/2015 1:13:14 PM PST by bigdaddy45

A group of Kenyan Muslims travelling on a bus ambushed by Islamist gunmen protected Christian passengers by refusing to be split into groups, according to eyewitnesses.

They told the militants "to kill them together or leave them alone", a local governor told Kenyan media.

At least two people were killed in the attack, near the north-eastern village of El Wak on the Somali border.

The Somali based al-Shabab group says it carried out the attack.

Some Muslims policemen were injured/killed trying to rescue people in the Westgate Mall attack as well IIRC (when the late rescue teams thought they were attackers); I remember an interview with one, and he couldn’t care less what religion the attackers or victims were. A decent man...

Maybe their dislike for Somalis overruled their Religious tendencies.

I’m sure this won’t be a popular thread... but you know, sometimes props are due.

...

Can we trade our Kenyan Muslim for one of theirs?

if true, then why are those muslims different when all muslims worship from the same book? Any muslim that believes only parts of the Koran ought to denounce their murderous faith.

Kenya is mostly Christian.

There are a number of mixed families.

What divides there is more tribe then religion.

The issue is clear: they have no doctrinal support for doing what they did. Which means they are ignorant of their religions teachings, and responded instead from the general revelation God gives to all. (Romans Ch 1)

I have my doubts as to how this actually occurred. After all, muzzies are told to lie to the infidels. And what a good opportunity to garner sympathy, rather than hatred. Did any Christian verify this?

“if true, then why are those muslims different when all muslims worship from the same book?”

I think the arab sons of Ishmael are more murderous. It is in their genes.

When I was there my best friend's dad was a former mohammedan who became a Christian pastor.

Although his Dad has refused to speak to him since the father did not prohibit his mother or sisters from keeping close ties with him and his family. This would be unheard of in most countries.

Kenya looks odd to outsiders until you realize that the tribe or family is everything. Religion, politics, finances all take a back seat to tribe. And they are moving in the direction of the tribe being "Kenya".

It is also the reason they dislike Obama. He does not take care of his family. Disgraceful!

I’ve said many times here there are moderate Muslims, that is, Muslims who only moderately believe in Islam, and are not fundamentalists or fanatics. Many are born into Islam, and just want to live peaceful lives. But there is no moderate Islam. At it’s core it’s a totalitarian, religious and political ideology. The more “devout” they become, the more they inevitably are forced towards jihadism. And nobody ever converts to Islam for good reasons.

So how often is this happening in Israel these days?

Lots of knife attacks to stop, or at least assist the victim(s). Have ANY Muslim Arabs done anything like this?

If any have, I haven't heard about it; which makes me a bit suspicious about this story.

Props to the muslims on that bus. Wonder why they behaved so differently?

Because they are not true-to-the-Qur'an Muslims, and are as deserving of death as the infidels.
