80 children massacred in Kenyan church

"Kenya edged closer to tribal warfare last night after more than 100 people – at least 80 of them children – burned to death as the church they had fled to for refuge was set alight. More than 200 people, mainly Kikuyus, the same tribe as President Mwai Kibaki, were sheltering for safety in the Kenya Assemblies of God church five miles outside Eldoret in the Rift Valley. An armed gang of young men drawn from the Kalenjin, Luhya and Luo tribes – ethnic groups which backed the beaten presidential candidate Raila Odinga – stormed the church compound yesterday morning and set it alight."

Seems that Kenya's Christians have totally gone insane. But, notice how the emphasis is placed on "tribal" differences. The fact that the Kenyans are predominately Christian is never mentioned even though this atrocity happened in a church. Imagine what the headlines would be like if this were an Islamic country and the perpetrators were Muslims.

Kenya church fire kills 15 who fled mob

A man admitted with serious burns lies covered in ointment at the Coast General Hospital, in Mombasa, Kenya, Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2008. Youths protesting against the outcome of the Dec. 27, 2007 presidential elections set him on fire. Kenyans ventured warily out in search of food on Tuesday after the post-election violence that had convulsed the country for four days generally calmed, but many shops remained shuttered and sporadic tribal violence continued.

"A mob torched a church sheltering hundreds of Kenyans fleeing election violence on Tuesday, and at least 15 people burned to death, police and a witness said as the president came under increasing pressure over the disputed vote."

The Christian Kenyans are really running amok. And, all because of a stolen election. One could get the impression that fanatics and extremists exist is ALL religions ~ not only among Muslims.

Kenya killings soar to 251

"AT least 66 bodies have been discovered in Kenya following another night of police raids and tribal killings, bringing the toll for five days of post-election bloodshed to 251."

And, I thought things were bad in "Islamic" Pakistan ~ looks like the "Christian" Kenyans have gone buck wild.
