It's over now. Final toll: 147 dead in Kenyan al-shabab siege.

Absolutely unbelievable.

At first it was reporting as low as ~30 dead.

Seems it was actually far, far worse.

We can expect to see more of this, I'm sure.

Muslim extremists are getting more aggressive and deadly for pretty much every month that goes by.

THIS is religious persecution. Selling a pepperoni pie to a gay guy is not.
