Italian police: Muslim migrants threw Christians overboard

26. I think this has NOTHING to do with religion as a religion, but who belongs to what religion.

During the Troubles in Ireland some radicals broke into a business run by a Jewish couple, the radicals asked them if they were Catholic or Protestant, the couple replied, they were Jewish, the Radical came back "Catholic Jews or Protestant Jews?'

The sides were organized along religious lines but the dispute was NOT religion itself. Thus a jew could be "Catholic" or "Protestant" depending on which side they supported in that Civil Rights dispute.

It appears to be the same problem here, two groups were on the boat, and the side that happened to be Moslem decided to drop all the Christians over the side. Could it be Religious in causation? Maybe, but why would Moslems who want to kill Christians go to a Catholic Country in search for jobs? It makes no sense.

On the other hand, the Christian population of Sub Sahara Africa has been expanding, and that include most of "Black" Africa. Thus this may be racial in that the Moslems were all from North Africa and/or the Sahara and thus "Dark skin Whites" as oppose to Blacks skinned Africans from south of the Sahara. IN Libya and much of North African, you have a massive discrimination (and to a degree Hatred) of Black skinned Africans. Thus the killings may be of North Africans killing off Blacks from further south, that the North Africans are Moslems and the Black skin Africans are Christian, just an accident. This Christian vs Moslem "dispute" may be something else, but like the troubles of Northern Ireland, the sides tend to follow religious lines even when religion is not a factor in the fight.

Thus before we start talking about how religion can lead to bad things, lets make sure the dispute was religious in nature NOT something else. The Victims were from Nigeria and Ghana and the accused were from Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal. Now, you have to watch the borders of Africa. Most of the borders were drawn up by Bismark in the 1880s. He was viewed "Neutral" in the race for colonies and end up drawing the lines to separate the claims. The problem was Bismark wanted to other countries of Europe to be at each other's neck so in drew the borders to cause Maximum conflict (he used rivers as borders, Rivers are natural highways, thus they tend to UNITE people not separate them, thus by using rivers Bismark knew conflict across that river/border will occur. Bismark also divided tribes, knowling tribes valued what tribe they belong to more then what country they are in. The borders of African are artificial and a recipe for war, which was Bismark's intention when he divided African as a "Favor" to his fellow Europeans.
