Extremists attacked a coastal area of Kenya for the second night in a row, killing at least nine people a day after the deaths of nearly 50, an official said Tuesday.

Police spokesman Masoud Mwinyi said that al-Shabab militants attacked Majembeni village. The Somali militant group also claimed responsibility for the Sunday night attack in nearby Mpeketoni that killed 48 people.

The back-to-back attacks underscore the weak security around the Lamu area, which lies just south of the Somali border. Lamu once attracted swarms of foreign visitors but its tourist sector has been suffering in recent years because of increasing violence.

On Sunday night the gunmen went door to door demanding to know if the men inside were Muslim and if they spoke Somali. If the extremists did not like the answers, they opened fire.

Muslim Jihadists are moving through Africa killing Christians as they go. Obama, a self-described Christian in public, will not lift a finger in response.

Yes it is. You would think he would try to help his country of birth, but maybe he just doesn't want to draw attention to it. Or, the Muzzies are killing Christians, in which case, he is cheering for them.

Wake up America...

From the ROP website, the good news is: injuries in 2014 are down from 2013; the bad news? deaths are WAY up.

(note: Jan-June 2014 numbers are doubled for comparison with prior whole years)

This Kenya thing is very important. We need to pay attention since it has already impacted us here in the United States.

How did it impact us? It sent us its most famous Marxist to destroy our freedoms and liberty....OBAMA.
