Such a friendly lot, these muslim migrants. CNN reports on a trip from North Africa to Italy, Muslims on a boat threw overboard twelve Christians on the boat with them.
The original group of 105 people left Libya on Tuesday in a rubber boat. Sometime during the trip north across the Mediterranean Sea, the alleged assailants — Muslims from the Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal — threw the 12 overboard, police said.UPDATE: This CNN piece was circulating all over Twitter yesterday and I did not realize that it is actually from 8 months ago. But, in digging into it, it is worth noting that 8 months later there appear to be no convictions.
Other people on the voyage told police that they themselves were spared “because they strongly opposed the drowning attempt and formed a human chain,” Palermo police said.
