No one in American halls of power care about Christian children. Which is all too apparent in the spaz attacks over a handful of muslims dying at Assad’s hands.

Did Boku Haram step on the Fulani tribe’s toes up there? Both groups attack Christians but they may not be each other’s friends.

Many of the high ranking officers are Fulani, the north is Muslim territory.

I don’t think this is the army stopping a terrorist group as much as it is Islamic civil war.

The accounts may or may not be true but four month old babies aren’t combattants.

What the heck is going on at Free Republic today?

Two posts urging Freepers to support radical violent Muslims.

First in Yemen.

Now in Nigeria.

I haven’t seen any post urging free burst to support radical violent muslims. Where did you see these posts?

The nigerian army is reported to be killing all of the BOKO Haram, including children. If this is true, isn’t it the equivalent of Army exterminating Native tribes? I thought I was clear, in the face of an enemy that sees war as all against all, instead of soldier against soldier, it is understandable to kill all to eliminate the future threat.

I am not judging either way, it has been the standard for centuries. Only they used to enslave the women instead of killing them, to make babies that would be the children of the winners.

We American soldiers never exterminated tribes in any war, and that isn’t the way it is done.

If you notice the Germans and Japanese seem to be doing fine.

We did a mighty find job of taking out Indian villages, not all the time but enough. Then we put them into reservations.

It was centuries before Indians were given vast reservations to live on after the world started arriving here, and very few Indians were killed in combat with the American army.

Re: "I haven't seen any post urging free burst to support radical violent Muslims."

I will re-phrase my original sentence...

Original: "Two posts urging Freepers to support radical violent Muslims."

Revision: One post urging Freepers not to oppose radical violent Muslims.

Revision: One post urging Freepers to believe the statements of radical violent Muslims.

I’m not offended, I’m just trying to correct your bizarre and cruel ideas about war and American history.
