Christian Militia Could Wipe Out Central African Republic's Muslim Population ...

Christian militia taking revenge on the Central African Republic's Muslim population could drive the entire Islamic group out of the country, a human rights group claimed earlier this week.

The anti-balaka ("anti-machete") has increasingly fought back against the country's minority Muslim population since the Muslim Seleka rebel group antagonized the country's Christians.

Human Rights Watch employees in the Central African Republic have claimed to have witnessed anti-balaka forces cutting "the throats of Muslim civilians, publicly lynching, mutilating, and setting their bodies on fire." It also reported attacks where the groups had cut off body parts or hacked Muslims to death.

It pointed to Yaloké, which prior to the arrival of anti-balaka forces boasted an estimated Muslim population of 30,000 and eight mosques. Now, it is reported that the town has only one mosque and 500 Muslims. Many Muslim homes in the area were also looted by members of the Christian militia.

The report also listed four other former "Muslim strongholds" that were now totally devoid of residents and whose shops and business have been looted by anti-balaka forces.

Peter Bouckaert, Emergencies director at HRW, said there is a good chance that such terrors will drive out a Muslim population which has lived for hundreds of years in the region.

"At this rate, if the targeted violence continues, there will be no Muslims left in much of the Central African Republic. People whose families have peacefully lived in the country for centuries are being forced to leave, or are fleeing the very real threat of violence against them," he said in a statement.

I’m not seeing a problem here, except maybe they haven’t gotten started yet.

Funny these “human right groups” never say anything when Muslims slaughter Christians and burn their churches.

Boo hoo. They can go to Sudan where they will be welcomed by the Islamofascists there. These Muslims were lynching Christians even while their displaced wives and children were given shelter in Christian churches. Enough is enough.

Kick the bums out, and establish a Christian government. Then pi** off Obama by declaring CAR a Christian nation with Christian law.

Oh, well, the Central African Republic’s Muslim population “needs to embrace the suck.” The Christians are long past turning the other cheek, are they not to fight back?

Wow, what a twistedly ass-backwards representation of the truth of Muslim’s slaughtering Christians. And this is from a supposedly Christian source!

Just had an idea... All I’ll say is it’s inspired by the most recent post I read, prior to this one, where some dork was seeking to fund his Chipotle Burrito on Kickstarter. $400+ and the money is still coming in.

Dear Peter, do you at HRW also note the persecution, murder, rape and displacement of Christians in the ME and other countries? If not, piss off.
