X-post from r/Atheism: Muslim terrorists kill dozens of Kenyans who fail Islam quiz. Note the gender neutral description of the victims; although all who were killed, appear to be men.

Uhm, I'm kind of in support of these gender-neutral descriptions. I don't think it's really important if it's men or women being killed. A person is a person, and a person's death is tragic.

EDIT: I understand that when women are victims of violence, their gender is specified. I'm just saying gender, race, and similar identifiers shouldn't matter.

The widows and daughters are the primary victims of religious war.

I'm always surprised by how aggressive and insulting the people at /r/atheism are. They go out of their way to spit bile on religion and hate anyone that says otherwise. Religion is meant to be a source of morality and culture for the people that follow it. If anything, their behavior makes me support religion more.

I had the same thought process when I first met Radical Feminists. Minorities in both cases just like the religious extremists, I know, but loud and obnoxious none the less. Bottom line is, they are fundamentalists and they are the loudest, cruelest, and most vile.

I haven't heard of any fundamentalists in MRs. I'm sure they flocked to those other groups everyone attributes to MRs, but actually have no relation. Sadly, history has shown that its a matter of time before there are more than we know what to do with.

I'm so royally fucked, I'm Kenyan, half Kikuyu half Indian and I kinda look Somali. Now here is the problem

1) cops have been arresting Somalis a lot recently on made up charges and dropping them in the middle of Somalia which as I'm sure you've seen is a shit hole

2) I'm not Muslim nor do I speak Somali so if I'm caught in of these attacks say good bye me.

demanding to know if the men inside were Muslim and if they spoke Somali.

How is that gender neutral? Reach much?

Militants disembarked and began shooting. At the Breeze View Hotel, the gunmen pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch as they killed them, saying it was what Kenyan troops are doing to Somali men inside Somalia, a police commander said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to share such details of the attack.

Pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch.

Again, reach much?

Pop quiz, hotshot.

I should study up a bit more on the Religion of Peace, just in case.
