While the Paris attacks were the center point for the Muslim hate propaganda from us westerners, here is some riveting news about Christians killing and hunting down Muslims in Africa were this is much worse.... A must read!!! The Central African Republic is seeing unprecedented violence as Christians hunt down Muslims. In the Central African Republic in the home to massive religious violence right now. Under leader Michael Djotodia, the country’s first Muslim leader, violence against Christians became scarily problematic: Christians have also been victims of violence, targeted by Muslims in this complex communal conflict that U.N. and humanitarian officials fear could implode into genocide.
