'All Muslims leave... we only want to kill non-Muslims': Gunmen massacre at least 22 in Kenyan shop






Gunmen massacre at least 22 in Kenyan shopping mall after releasing anyone who could prove they were Islamic by reciting a prayer

At least two dozen people, wounded and dead, were wheeled out on stretchers and in shopping trolleys by security guards, while others were seen walking out of the building, clutching bloodied clothing around their injuries.

Locals and tourists who were out shopping on the sunny Saturday in Kenya ran screaming from the building and cars were left abandoned as attackers threw grenades and fired AK47s.

Over the course of an hour people streamed from the building, at least half a dozen covered in blood and clutching small children to them.

1. OMG

Just plain evil.

[pscot]

2. Ah yes. A religion of Peace

[cali]

3. please. yes, this is awful.

but there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who don't do this shit or support it.

[dionysus]

4. this is DU cali.. it's acceptable to be bigoted against any and all religions here.

[cali]

8. so sadly true. ironic, because those who are so hateful about religion

are mirroring the very intolerance they decry.

[dionysus]

11. tis true. i think religion is a fairy tale, but i shall not denigrate anyone who peacefully follows

one.

[pscot]

6. What are they doing to end the violence?

[uppityperson]

9. Who is "they"? Many people who are muslim are working for peace and tolerance. Who is "they"?

[LittleBlue]

13. Individual acts, collective responsibility

A great tactic to smear a whole group.

[furious]

17. That's really unfair to the Islam religion.

The ratio of peaceful Muslims to Jihadists is far off the chart.
There are hundreds of millions of Muslims trying to counter the image of Islam that these Jihadists are trying to portray to the world.
The Jihadists are a miniscule part of Islam, and they are not true Muslims.

21. No true Scotsman fallacy...

who are you to say that they are not true Muslims? Anyone can be assholes, doesn't mean they aren't part of their respective groups.

Islam, like any religion, has many absurdities and evil shit in it, and some people act that shit out, because they think they are following the "true path" whatever that is, but what do you expect from having holy texts that are subject to interpretation, Christians do the same thing, as do those of every other religion.

[furious]

22. I didn't say they weren't Muslims,

I said they weren't true Muslims.

[snagglepuss]

7. I have come to the conclusion that the meaning of this oft quoted statement

is that peace refers to a peaceful state of mind, a mind not anxious which is the main selling point of of complete submission. Peace is not reconciliation with enemies but the removal of them and of those who threaten the drug-like bliss of submission.

[pscot]

10. Careful!

Someone might call you a bigot.

[dionysus]

12. if the shoe fits... wear it. christianity and islam have both been used for terrible violence

throughout history.

in the case of Ireland, it was Christians killing Christians with bombs and guns. schoolkids even.

[FarCenter]

23. In Syria, it is Muslims killing Muslims

Of course in both cases, it was true believers killing heretics.

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius

[Skip Intro]

16. I think you might be onto something there. n/t

[sarisataka]

18. Just as we see

Christians in this country who believe they are good examples of their religion even though they treat some major parts of the Bible as optional; there are Muslims who are the same about the Koran.

In neither case do they represent all, or even the majority of the members of the religion.

[MoonRiver]

5. Horrifying!

May those poor victims rest in peace.

[adavid]

14. What if you found out that

the group that did this, did it because of our high-tech terrorism (drones) that killed his wife and kids, and that this was blowback.

[snagglepuss]

15. Two wrongs don't make a right and what do Kenyans have to do with US drone attacks?

[furious]

20. I will still condemn it.

2 wrongs don't make a right, and these terrorists deliberately targeted innocent civilians.

[maddezmom]

24. Blowback maybe but they have been at this terrorist game a while

19. You're quoting the Daily Mail?

What a sad day in Kenya regardless of who is responsible
