Kenya Terror Attack: Gunmen Killed Christians, Spared Muslims
AP ^ | June 16, 2014 | TOM ODULA

Dozens of extremists attacked a Kenyan coastal town for hours, killing those who weren't Muslim and those who didn't know the Somali language, officials and witnesses said Monday. At least 48 people were killed and two hotels were set on fire... lasted until early Monday, with little resistance put up by Kenya's security forces.

...

Like the gunmen who attacked Nairobi's Westgate Mall last year, the Mpeketoni attackers gave life-or-death religious assessment, a witness said, killing those who were not Muslim.

"They came to our house at around 8 p.m. and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims. My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest

Obama wants to know if this will affect next golf outing or fund raiser?

Is there an online fully-compiled daily-updated list of the THOUSANDS of atrocities committed ANNUALLY by Muslims. I know it would be a HUGE amount of work to keep it up — Muslims being the busy little atrocity beavers that they are — but I wonder if someone is doing it anyway.

Needless to say, the kenyan in the white house didn’t express outrage over the killings of Christians.

Well, hats off to the Associated Press.

They usually self-censor every fact that indicates Muslims are murdering Christians.

But, even their headline states that fact!

I read a first report about this on Sunday.

I can't recall which news source.

They blamed the murders on criminal gangs.

Before reading this, I assumed it had something to do with the piracy and kidnapping business in that part of the world.

In the days long before the EU, or Communism, or even before the United states existed, there was a 17th century bible commentator named Matthew Henry. Henry speculated that the armies of the antichrist described in the Book of Revelation, with their breastplates of gold and headdresses, were the combined armies of islam, pouring out of the east to destroy civilization.

I remember reading the commentaries back in the eighties, and at the time, much of the Christian World seemed to be convinced that the antichrist would be the king of a huge European coalition.

Islam has been an issue for 1400 years. Even in Shakespeare’s plays, the muslims show up as bad guys in the plot (Especially Othello, a Christian Moor who becomes a war hero in Venice for defeating muslim pirates). Our own history reflects our conflict with muslim pirates in the Marine Hymn!

Those who do not discern that islam has been History’s adversary for nearly two millenia are deluding themselves.

Of course, those of us who believe the Bible realize that we are not battling a “Flesh and Blood” enemy, and that there is a far more sinister presence behind this whole thing.

That is why seemingly disparate forces (islam, atheism, homosexualism, liberalism, communism, fascism, etc) form an unholy alliance that we “normal” people can’t seem to understand. There is so much more to it than meets the eye.

Re: “Is there an online fully-compiled daily-updated list of the THOUSANDS of atrocities committed ANNUALLY by Muslims.”

Scroll around cnsnews.com.

They have a lot of coverage on that issue.

Perhaps they have an archive.

Also, MEMRI.org, which translates Arabic news sources, covers that issue in depth.

And, there is an international organization that documents violence against Christians, but I can't recall their name at the moment.

There is something i don’t understand... When violence occurs... the perpetrators are almost always from the same demographic.
In America, (not counting hispanic drug murders), it is almost always black males (until they get too old to fight). Globally - its ALWAYS young muslim males (until they get too old to fight). Everyone knows it. So i ask:

Why the censorship? Why does the media protect them?

Oh, yes: "We were disarmed, so we weren't able to shoot the mohammedan bastards first ..."

That’s an excellent point.

I’ll speculate that one reason is because Blacks and Muslims in America and Europe vote 90% for the Socialist Left.

If they were murdering in defense of Free Enterprise Capitalism and Constitutional Literalism, I don’t think the MSM would be quite so protective.
