On Thursday, April 16, police in Sicily reported that Muslim migrants hurled 12 Christians overboard during a recent crossing from Libya; another forty-one Christians were believed to have been drowned in a separate incident. The motive was that the victims “professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.” According to the Associated Press:
Palermo police said they had detained 15 people suspected in the high seas assault, which they learned of while interviewing tearful survivors from Nigeria and Ghana who had arrived in Palermo Wednesday morning after being rescued at sea by the ship Ellensborg.
The 15 were accused of multiple homicide aggravated by religious hatred, police said in a statement.
The survivors said they had boarded a rubber boat April 14 on the Libyan coast with 105 passengers aboard, part of the wave of migrants taking advantage of calm seas and warm weather to make the risky crossing from Libya, where most smuggling operations originate.
During the crossing, the migrants from Nigeria and Ghana — believed to be Christians — were threatened with being abandoned at sea by some 15 other passengers from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau.
Eventually the threat was carried out and 12 were pushed overboard. The statement said the motive was that the victims “professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.”
The surviving Christians, the statement said, only managed to stay on board by forming a “human chain” to resist the assault…
Update: A new report says that the reason the Christians were thrown overboard is because a boy was seen praying to the Judeo-Christian God. Muslims commanded him to stop, saying “Here, we only pray to Allah.” Eventually the Muslims “went mad,” in the words of a witness, started screaming “Allahu Akbar,” and began hurling Christians into the sea.
So despite these people allegedly fleeing from a common enemy and needing help. We are still in the same position of Muslims killing Christians. The mayor of the town where they are routinely landed has expressed the view that it is continent shifting. One has to ask the question given the decades of aid and money that has been poured into these countries how many of them are in fact genuine refugees, and how many are simply looking for an easy life. They created heir countries we did not. I know that sounds harsh and unfeeling, but it is the fact of the matter. How long can we go on taking in the literal thousands a week and dispersing from Italy through the rest of the EU. Given that £5,000 US dollars is a great deal of money to the citizens of most of these countries, one also has to ask where are they getting the money to pay these people traffickers? I am inclined to agree with the worthy mayor they are looking for an easy life. At least a percentage of them are. the OAU which was so effective in causing revolutions to throw off the imperial yoke suddenly seems powerless.
All those fleeing moslems are looking for an easy life. They should be sent back from wherever they came.They cause more destruction to the countries they are allowed to live in and are turning the towns, cities and villages of these countries into bomb sites. Where once people lived in peace they (the moslems ) are causing more trouble than has ever been known. The sooner they are got rid of the happier people will be,they are nothing but animals and barbarians……
The Pope is both ignorant of history, and eager to curry favor among the secularists and the rich and powerful. He is the product of a fascist culture (Argentina under the Peronists) and has neither the intellect nor the moral courage to confront evil in the manner that both of his predecessors did. The Catholic Church survived the Borgias, and it will survive this pope as well. God spare the Catholic Faith from this moral midget.
