I don’t know what news you listen to but, killings in Africa have been in the news regularly. Killings by both Muslim and christian terrorist are happening. Protesting it and trying to rise in support of the people is hard because their governments don’t respond in ways we in the west understand. We don’t have a set way to deal with it. Throwing money at it doesn’t work, sending troops would not be tolerated by Americans or Africans. So what could our response be?

The total number of people in history who have had the right to shoot up cartoonists because they were offended? ZERO. Check back in 50,000 years, it will also be zero. The total number of people in history who have had the right to kidnap girls to sell them into slavery, or to kidnap anybody at all for any ransom at all, OR to impose insane “religious laws” of ANY kind against the will of ANY people? Yeah, you guessed it, the same zero. Check back in 50,000 years for the same zero.

Where you let extreme Islam fester, death is an almost inevitable result, or at the very least, amputation of that limb from the body politic.
