BANGUI, Central African Republic — Peacekeepers in Central African Republic opened fire on a crowd in the capital on Friday to disrupt anti-Muslim violence, injuring six people including four who were under 16, witnesses and officials said.

The incident began when a Muslim man tried to carry out a transaction at a bank but was attacked by an angry mob.

...

On Thursday, Navi Pillay, the U.N.’s top human rights official, warned Thursday that hatred between Muslim and Christian communities in Central African Republic was “at a terrifying level” and that the country remained in a state of near-anarchy, meaning even those caught carrying bloody machetes and holding severed body parts are not arrested.

Are you mad? Insane? Fire on sainted Muslims? Absurd!

It’s simple. It’s only Christians. They are interfering with the UN mandate for a Muslim dominated world. Why on earth would you think that UN troops, commanded and empowered by leftist governments, would do such a thing?

Of course that said, if Christians would stop empowering leftists, our brethren in other countries might not get shot by the people we give power.

Just a thought...Nah...That’s even CRAZIER talk...

Gee, I can’t understand why Christians might not be fully accepting of those that practice “THE” religion of peace.

The UN is a force for evil in the world.

IOW, they aren’t peacekeepers. They should be reassigned to border areas to interdict infiltration by and on behalf of jihadists, and CAR’s Christians should be armed. That would take care of the “terrifying” level of violence.

Thanks Pan_Yan.

That should read "hatred in the Muslim community in Central African Republic is at a terrifying level”.

~Central African Republic descended into chaos one year ago when a mostly Muslim rebel coalition overthrew the president and committed widespread atrocities. Since the rebels’ leader, Michel Djotodia, left power under immense international pressure in January, the Muslim minority population has been targeted in retaliatory violence.~

I wonder if my give-a-damn meter malfunctioned or what?
