Sinai massacre

Post Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:45 pm

Once again some dickheads took it upon themselves to decide that some other group just wasn't serious enough about their religion.

Last I checked - 305 Sufis killed and 128 injured for the crime of not being Islamic enough.

Words fail me.

Actually I think the main point of the royal engagement announcement is to distract the British public from the complete and utter fuckup the Tory government is making of Brexit.

But yes, I agree that the minimal coverage in the Western media of atrocities in other parts of the world is lamentable.

Well, it was bigger news here in Canada, if that's any consolation. While Canucks love a good royal wedding, we didn't have the added distraction of Thanksgiving to bury it.

It's a terrible thing, and another example of how the first and most often victims of so-called Radical Islamic terrorists are, in fact, followers of Islam.
