Presbyterians On The Rampage Again
This time with a mass slaughter in Baga, Nigeria.
From the BBC:
Bodies lay strewn on the streets of a key north-eastern Nigerian town following an assault by militant Islamists, officials have told the BBC.The Boko Haram group attacked Baga town on Wednesday, after over-running a military base there on Saturday, they said.
Almost the entire town had been torched and the militants were now raiding nearby areas, they added.
Boko Haram launched a military campaign in 2009 to create an Islamic state.
...Musa Alhaji Bukar, a senior government official in the area, said that fleeing residents told him that Baga, which had a population of about 10,000, was now "virtually non-existent".
...Those who fled reported that they had been unable to bury the dead, and corpses littered the town's streets, he said.
Boko Haram was now in control of Baga and 16 neighbouring towns after the military retreated, Mr Bukar said.
While he raised fears that some 2,000 had been killed in the raids, other reports put the number in the hundreds.
And in France, taking over where Hitler left off, "France's Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Paris Shops, Attack Synagogue," by HuffPo UK's Jessica Elgot.
Those are radicalized Presbyterians not your common everyday peace-loving type.

If there were lots of oil in Nigeria, we'd be all up in that stuff, defendin' freedom and all.

Presbyterians? Nope, I say it was either the Baptists or the Quakers.
Now, those are two groups that you have to keep an eye on - the one group dunks folks under water and the other group wears funny hats while eating oatmeal. Both very dangerous.

Amy, I am becoming very upset about you profiling Presbyterians. I think you need to check your atheist privilege.

Well, y'know, Amy, the tussling between the various branches of the Presbyterian faith can get pretty heated….
DrCos: Nigeria does, in fact, have quite a bit of oil.

Here is Nigeria's OPEC profile page.
I think we're not involved in Nigeria because we're raaaaaaaaacist!

Church ladies have been known to exclaim to each other, "Well, I never...!"

I stand corrected. Maybe it is that other reason...

As a right thinking Lutheran, clearly it is time to put all Presbyterians to the axe!
