Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - A mob lynched a Muslim on Friday after he fell off a crowded lorry driving thousands of frightened civilians out of the strife-torn capital of the Central African Republic.

A large convoy of lorries and taxis packed with Muslims fleeing Christian vigilantes headed north from Bangui under a slew of insults from angry residents, locals said.

The mob set on the victim after he fell off one of the lorries and hacked to pieces his body, which still lay by the side of the road by late morning, an AFP photographer saw.

Armed Christian "anti-balaka" fighters tried to attack a second vehicle in the convoy, but they dispersed when troops from an African peacekeeping force, MISCA, fired warning shots.

Muslim Central Africans and foreigners have been fleeing Bangui for several months to escape killings, looting and harassment by armed militias drawn from the Christian majority in the city, in defiance of calls for peace by religious leaders.

We'll never truly know the actual circumstances of the event.

However, all things remaining consistent? No further comment required.

One dead Mohammadan garners a big story, while the atrocities they commit against the rest of humanity on a minute-by-minute basis barely registers a blip on the media radar.

These Christians have run out of cheeks to turn. There is nothing unbiblical about defending yourself, your family and your homeland.

Before his crucifixion, Jesus himself advised that his followers living in this wicked world should sell their extra cloak and buy a sword. (Luke 22:36) It’s a good thing to prepare oneself.

Is turnabout, fair play? I’d like to think Christians are more civilized. But as someone already said...don’t know the full story.

Arab oil money ahs been spent all across the globe on buying media through a vast maze of front companies. Remember, all it took to change FOX News take on 9-11 was one phone call from a Saudi prince 3 days after the event.

Maybe the worm has decided to turn and show its fangs. We can only hope it is the first trickle of a tidal wave to come. At least I hope so.

The Christians are vigilantes, the Muslims are insurgents or freedom fighters.

"Muslim Central Africans and foreigners have been fleeing Bangui for several months to escape killings, looting and harassment by armed militias drawn from the Christian majority in the city, in defiance of calls for peace by religious leaders."

One must wonder who the "religious leaders" are.

Anti-balaka means anti machete.

They are rebels against the Seleka Muslims who took over the country last year in a coup.

The coup installed the country’s first Muslim president Michel Djotodia who stepped down early this month.

Djotodia was forced to step down after he lost control of his fighters who then turned into looting, plundering, pillaging, and killing.

Christians felt threatened and formed vigilante groups.

The Christian vigilante groups, especially the Anti-Balaka group has continued to kill even after the Muslim president resigned, and a Christian president Catherine Samba-Panza took his place.

Anti-Balaka militias have transformed from protecting Christians into a lynch mob.

Although they see themselves as a Christian group, they are fortified with charms, amulets, ornaments, and talismans, which they believe will make them indomitable.

Personally I will defend my home, family, country from the unwashed hordes of Islam. I will not instigate. I will not pick some poor soul walking out of the mosque around the corner from my house(it used to be a fundamentalist Christian church...go figure) I will defend myself until the powers that be (on either side of the equation ) declare open warfare....at which point I will take an aggressive rather than defensive posture.

Don’t remember. Please remind me.

What “take” did Fox News take...?

The only alternate “take” on 9/11 is the truther version...

You claiming Fox News became “truthers” ...?
