Mosque-Burning in Bangui

Non-Muslim residents of Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, were upset when they discovered machetes and AK-47s inside a local mosque. Believing that the mosque’s congregation were supporters of the Seleka rebels, the angry mob set the mosque ablaze.

  1. Well would you look at that, someone is defending themselves for once instead of falling on their sword of PC and no offending the islamic savages at all cost. Hopefully we see alt more of this.

  3. Call me crazy, but I would bet $10,000 (of my own money, I’m not from the 47%, a congressman or the POTUS) that at least one mosque in the USA has weapons cached in it. Same for UK, France, etc, etc. The uninformed, the delusional, the ‘willfully blind’ can disagree all they want. Hell is about to break loose. Religion of piece my schnoodle.
