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.

There are Muslims who are good, but they are not good Muslims.

These countries have to start arming civilian populations to fight against such cowardly swine. They only attack unarmed civilians.

There was also the Muslim worker in the kosher market in Paris who protected Jewish customers and workers.

I am acquainted with Christian missionaries who served in Kenya. These people did yeoman’s work there. That could be the basis.
Also, a couple years ago when that shopping mall was attacked in Nairobi by Somali muslims, a few young muslim men fought back to protect non muslim women and children.
This is taken from a Wikipedia story about the attack. Going by the names, the two brothers were muslims.
” Abdul Yusuf Haji, son of former Defence Minister of Kenya Mohamed Yusuf Haji, on receiving text messages from his brother, an undercover anti-terrorism agent who was stuck inside the shopping center, travelled to the mall with his handgun and entered with other civilian rescuers. He helped rescue a mother and her three daughters, providing cover with other armed rescuers.[24] Tomasevic’s photographs of the rescue efforts by civilians were beamed all around the world.

These Moslems were brave, honourable and deserving of the highest praise.

the thing is that Moslems are people at the end of the day - good and bad. What is EVIL is the philosophy of islam.

I assume you, Salvavida mean
The issue is clear: they (the Moslems who saved Christians) 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)

Yeah...I wouldn’t be too sure of that.
Look at it this way: Not every rabid animals attacks, but they’re still rabid.

They be Muslims in name only, like Kennedy Catholics, there are plenty of those. They obviously don’t hold to Muslim doctrine or they’d have helped butcher the Christians.

One of the reasons I stopped going to church was that some the biggest, immoral ahole sh*tbags used to sit up front. Like that would absolve them.

Last year, around 5,000 new churches were formed in people’s homes. Wonder why? Well, no you don’t : )

Remember “Lone Survivor”? Marcus Lutrell was hidden from the Taliban psychopaths by other Muslims.
There’s good and bad in all people.
We just get used to hearing the bad all the time, because there’s so much of it.
