Thousands seek refuge at Central African airport

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Thousands of Christian civilians sought refuge at an airport guarded by French soldiers Friday, fleeing from the mostly Muslim ex-rebels with machetes and guns who rule the country a day after the worst violence to hit the chaotic capital in nine months.

When several French helicopters landed at the airport, people sang with joy as they banged on plastic buckets and waved rags into the air in celebration.

Outside the barbed wire fences of the airport, bodies lay decomposing along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses. Thursday's clashes left at least 280 dead, according to national radio, and have raised fears that waves of retaliatory attacks could soon follow.
"They are slaughtering us like chickens," said Appolinaire Donoboy, a Christian whose family remained in hiding.

what is wrong on that land mass? same problem else where in that area? or is it deeper than that.

<crickets>... enlightenment and tolerance only extends to those that would kill you... it's a test of leftist faith.

Another reason for us to get rid of despicable, bloodthirsty religious crapola once and for all!

Ostensibly, Islam and Christianity and Judaism, claims belief in the Old Testament, and all three of these alleged god-worshipping cesspools of spiritual suicide push for grace, helping others, courtesy, respect, honesty kindness and the promotion of peace.

Instead of spreading harmony, these three bloodthirsty cults have been and are the most destructive cultural element in human history.

To those of us who understand the folly, it's clear that if God exists, He or She is totally inept and incapable of promoting peace, love or respect.

Marx was wrong. Religion isn't the "opium" of the people -- it's the cyanide of the people!
