"This is an act of terrorism perpetrated by a cruel person or group who are enemies of the country," Kikwete said in a statement on Monday.

Gotta love that Obama and his brethren’s outreach program.

Makes me sick that we have a Ghazi in OUR White House.

The President of Tanzania wasted no time in calling this a terrorist act. Could we please trade Presidents? I know ours is Kenyan, but they’re next-door neighbors and that’s close enough/s;)

Arusha is a lovely hamlet town, been there. It has a wonderful meerschaum mine from which lovely polished white pipes are made.It is also home to the Calabash model of pipe made famous by the character Sherlock Holmes.

Why these Saudi effing camel humpers would want to kill the peaceful black Christians living there is beyond me.ALL Saudi nationals should be banned from entry to every nation in which they perpetrate terror.

I saw a small report about this (in the WSJ) and I thought at the time that this was the first time I’d seen anything about Tanzania.

The Muslims won’t rest until all of Africa is in flames and Islamic. The Arabs in particular have a long tradition of coming down there for this purpose. Or to capture slaves.

What’s it going to take for the world to see that Islam and civilization are incompatible?

Many thanks for those informative details about Arusha. It sounds like a wonderful, peaceful community - now set upon by extremists.
