Kenya bus killings claimed by Somali group al-Shabab (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-30157581)

Gunmen from the Somali militant group al-Shabab say they have attacked a bus in northern Kenya, killing 28 people.

The bus was travelling to the capital, Nairobi, when it was stopped in Mandera county, not far from the Somali border.

Gunmen separated out non-Muslims by asking passengers to read from the Koran, officials and witnesses said. Those who failed were then shot in the head.

Al-Shabab has carried out a series of attacks in Kenya since 2011.

A statement on a website linked to the Islamist group carried a statement saying the attack was carried out in retaliation for security raids on mosques in the coastal city of Mombasa earlier this week.

Kenya's interior ministry said on its Twitter feed that a camp belonging to the attackers had been destroyed by Kenyan military helicopters and jets, with "many killed".

You want to talk about it?

I wonder how they would have reacted if a Muslim recited a verse but not in Arabic?

Why not? It's a world event of importance.
They probably would have killed them anyway as it has to be in Arabic.

Not really. Heinous things happen over there every so often.

This is bad event by ignorant people. But I see people dont speak about others terrorists. Last week Palestinian Communists attack Synagogue and killed four civilian people. They werent ignorant and they know what they did. Why there isnt a thread about them? Because this wasnt Muslim attack?

I didn't know that...
And I don't think it is as much about non-Muslims committing it, but Jews being the victims.

This is significant due to numbers having died.

ISIS and Boko Haram seem to be doing similar acts of horrific kilings. The new 'Axis of Evil'.

There is Jewish forum members here. I think they didnt start a thread because assaulters arent Islamists,
And people can be happy because Jews die.

I don't recall Jewish members besides AngloJew making these sort of threads, perhaps maybe that's the reason there's no thread yet, we were all expecting him to make one, but he seems to be inactive lately.

Too many assumptions. You could have started the thread.

This is normal you didnt know about it. Media talk a lot when Hamas attacks Israeli army. But not so much when Communists kill Jews inside a Synagogue.
