Central African Republic: Muslim group threw 13 people into disused fuel tank and left them to die

Feb 15, 2014 8:54 am By Robert Spencer

central-african-re_2758919bAs far as the mainstream media is concerned, Christians in the Central African Republic are gratuitously targeting innocent Muslims. This story, however, will get little play. And they never mention how Muslims murdered 1,000 Christians over a two-day period. Or how 450,000 Christians fled their homes in the face of Muslim attacks. All that is fine; it’s only when Christians fight back that it becomes news: “humanitarian catastrophe — Muslims suffering in the CAR.”

“13 bodies found in former rebel camp in Bangui,” from the Oman Tribune, February 15 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

BANGUI Thirteen decomposing corpses have been discovered in a camp housing ex-rebels in the strife-torn Central African Republic, a prosecutor said on Friday.

The corpses, some mere skeletons, were found in a disused fuel tank at a camp of former fighters of the mostly Muslim Seleka rebel group whose coup a year ago sparked the country’s descent into chaos.

Killings and pillaging by ex-Seleka rebels following the coup led to the formation of mainly Christians, whose attacks in recent weeks have led many minority Muslims to flee the country.

The bodies “were found in different places in the tank, which suggests that the people were thrown in there alive and struggled to get out,” Ghislain Grezenguet, lead prosecutor in the capital Bangui, said.

They were found by international peacekeepers whose suspicions were aroused by the nauseating stench coming from the site, he said.

Some of the victims, whose identities have not yet been established, are thought to have died between a week and 10 days ago.

The commander of the camp, Aboubakar Mahamat, said that he had “said everything to the investigators.”

Amnesty International this week warned that violence in Central Africa has grown into an “ethnic cleansing” campaign, while the UN refugee agency has described the situation as “a humanitarian catastrophe of unspeakable proportions”.

The UN children’s agency on Friday said it was horrified at how children are being maimed and killed, including by beheadings, in the country.

“There is no future for a country where adults can viciously target innocent children with impunity,” said Manuel Fontaine, Unicef regional director for west and central Africa.

Unicef officials in the region “are horrified by the cruelty and impunity with which children are being killed and mutilated” and are “increasingly targeted because of their religion, or because of their community”, the organisation said in a statement.

At least 133 children have been killed and maimed, some of them in horrific ways, in the past two months and Unicef has verified cases of children intentionally beheaded and mutilated. “Impunity must end,” Fontaine said….

    At 11.30pm on BBC News last night in the UK, I heard the reporter describe “the poor, embattled Muslims”, and “this ithat taste of what muslims can expect – a mosque that has been demolished by a Christian mob”.

    We know what side the Dhimmified BBC is on. Muslims killing Christians = nothing to see here. Christians reacting to that = appalling savages. That’s the narrative.

      Yes, the BBC is a disgrace.
      The strange thing is that the BBC is full of homosexuals, who perversely are great supporters of Islam.

      Anyone who gives George ‘Mad Mullah’ Galloway a dawah slot is bound to be pro-muslim.

        “The strange thing is that the BBC is full of homosexuals, who perversely are great supporters of Islam.”

        Nothing strange here, they are both but tools in the hands of the same enemy: Satan!
        Abortion is another tool.
        The real fight is not between the Western Civilization and Islam, it’s between the followers of God and the followers of Satan. Between us and them.

        Do you know why these homosexuals & other perverts are the biggest supporters of islam??
        Because generally these people themselves are cowards & mentally skewed and islam is made of cowards, immoral, corrupt & violent people.
        No sane person would ever convert to islam or support their ideology, and unfortunately if one is born in that religion and lacks these traits he/she would strive to leave this ideology behind. If he/she is not leaving islam then we can conclude that either that person is too coward or endorses the vile ideology.

    NPR is selling CAR as an anti-Christianity, anti-“religion” story. And its listeners are buying. See the story and the comments beneath the story.

      NPR did mention some of the early attacks on Christians but only as an afterthought.
      NPR framed their coverage by reporting the attacks on Christians within a context about how this could lead to a Civil War in the Central African Republic.
      That’s it!, every time they mentioned it, they sanitized Islam as if it were some mysterious intangible unknown that just happened to wander by.

      It is no secret that NPR is now smugly smirking while tucked in bed with Al-Jazeera

    My local newspaper describes it as the Christians are on a rampage and ethnic cleansing of muslims is taking place. Not one syllable as to why the Christians are “rampaging” Not one word. As Christians are truly being “ethnically cleansed” in the ME not one syllable does our news say about this. It appears France is sending troops to defend satans own the muslims as well. If you are not muslim and you defend yourself from the muslims you will be put down. Satan has been unloosed on the world.

    when you are persecuted and systematically slaughtered, you have to fight back. just as brutally.
    im not condoning violence, i never will. but this does not surprise me. its unimaginable to picture what they have been through, to strike back so hard.

      What other avenue of resistance is open besides violence? What is the point of endless hudna treaties that are only amount to temporizing on the part of islam0fascists everywhere? What inevitably happens to the recalcitrant kaffir when islam takes power? Lebanon was once a peaceful Christian country and Beirut called the Paris of the Mid-East, look at what it has become now.

        Feb 16, 2014 at 12:02 am

        And when the Lebanese Christians fought back against the Jihad the world’s media condemned them, too (and, I suspect, eagerly swallowed all Muslim tales of “Christian” atrocities carried out against Muslims, without once trying to fact-check, whilst muting or refusing to carry stories of Muslim atrocities upon Christians, of which there were many – one notable case being the Muslim butchery of the Christians of Damour).

        The same pattern manifested in the Balkan war of the 1990s: culturally-Christian Serbs were represented as the worst offenders, whereas Muslim atrocities against non-Muslims (of any background) were muted, excused/ justified, or not reported at all.

        The same happens (and happened) in India, from Partiition onward: Hindu response to Muslim aggression is represented as beyond the pale, whereas Muslim aggression is concealed or represented as justifiable.

        And we are seeing the same paradigm coming into play in Myanmar: Buddhists are, it seems, expected to quietly endure all Muslim aggression (or pretend it isn’t happening), and if they respond it will be reported as if *they* are the initiators of the violence and the Muslims are poor, persecuted little lambs.

        Muslims are past masters at initiating, provoking and maintaining continual and indeed genocidal-in-intent aggression against non-Muslims whilst somehow managing to pose as victims of aggression.

    dear RObert

    seems the Christian world has more important issues to consider than a few hundred thousand dead, tortured, forceably converted Christians

    besides the issue of gay clergy and gay marriage, there is always the usual villains

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/14/zionism-unsetttled_n_4789002.html

    the Presbyterian Church (USA) that rejects the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

    “Zionism Unsettled,” a study guide published last month by the Israel/Palestine Mission Network, a group chartered by the church, writes of the “pathology” of Zionism, the movement undergirding the founding of Israel as a Jewish homeland.

    The booklet describes Zionism as inherently discriminatory toward non-Jews. It calls on Christians to see the conflict through the lens of Palestinian Christians who have declared Zionism “heretical” and “a doctrine that promotes death rather than life.”

    “The fundamental assumption of this study is that no exceptionalist claims can be justified in our interconnected, pluralistic world,” the booklet states.
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,

    no Christian denomination has ever criticized the islamic treatment od Christians as they have demonized and demeaned and condemned Jews

    Seems like mussies have license to kill non mussie. But when non mussies react to the wrongs against them, it’s a big news and the Muhammadans are the grave victims in the Western media houses.

    Robert you are talking about a majority Christian nation CAR

    Don’t the Hindus complain about the same in majority Hindu nation India?

    Change the word Christians for Hindus in India and Buddhists in Burma and you have the same result.

    Are Muslims always the victims?
