Murdering in the name of god. [View all]


NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunmen from Somalia’s Islamist insurgent group, the Shabab, attacked a bus in northeastern Kenya on Saturday and killed 28 people after singling out those aboard the vehicle who were not Muslims, the Kenyan police said.

The Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack through the group’s radio station in Somalia, saying it was in retaliation for recent raids by Kenyan forces on four mosques in Mombasa.

Nineteen men and nine women were killed after being removed from the bus, said the inspector general of the Kenyan police, David Kimaiyo.

(Reuters) - Islamic State militants have killed at least 25 members of a Sunni Muslim tribe in a village on the eastern edge of the provincial capital Ramadi, local officials said on Saturday, in apparent revenge for tribal opposition to the radical Islamists.

They said the bodies of the men from the Albu Fahd tribe were discovered by the Iraqi army when it launched a counter-offensive on Saturday against Islamic State near Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province.

Luckily these murders were conducted by people with sincerely held religious beliefs, not by delusional psychotic mass murderers. Anyone who claims otherwise is a big meenie.
