Summary

70 decapitated bodies were found in a Protestant church in Kasanga, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), reportedly the work of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist group linked to ISIS.

The victims were believed to have been taken hostage before being executed.

Authorities are investigating, and international Christian organizations have condemned the attack.

The DRC has faced decades of conflict, with violence surging due to armed groups like ADF and M23.

    I know that Wien has a long history with Turkish invasion, but you appear to be skirting the line for Islamophobia or just general Xenophobia. I’d rather not have you defending my comments here, as I think it muddies the water.

      it literally is their Quran’s law that they have to stone-to-death any person who left Islam, & won’t return to it in 3 days.

      As Germany has noticed, immigrants from specific Muslim countries are … iirc … 100,000x as likely as normal Germans to gang-rape.

      It was that kind of statistic that caused me to understand that having the same penalty for the same crime,

      when specific subcultures are MASSIVELY more-likely to commit specific crimes, is incompetence/insanity:

      the correction for the crime needs to be calibrated both to the crime AND to the probability-of-committing-it.

      Notice that I’m not saying that Muslims are the only religion which has culture-specific crimes…

      there was a book, & movie, some years ago, about the Catholic molestation-by-priests regime, where they protected the molesters…

      an insight given in that work ( it was the Boston Globe who cracked the actual case, iirc ) is that when celibacy is required of people who never grew-up-in-real-relationship, it retards their growing-up, & significantly-increases their pedophelia…

      I don’t care what the “religion” or “ideology” or “prejudice” in-question is!

      IF a specific demographic is massively-more-likely to be committing any specific kind of crime, THEN the deterrent/correction has to be jacked to counterbalance that, adaptively.

      IF that means that Republican Electorates get massively-higher sentencing for corruption, then So Be It, see?

      Make the correction correct the societal-problems that different cultures create, & no pretending that no culture creates any problems, no matter how “politically incorrect” actual-fact is, nowadays, on either side of the political spectrum.
