Ramadan Spring: Muslims riot in Kenya after radical Islamist cleric shot dead

(Mombasa) After each and every Islamic terrorist outrage in the West, all we hear from the government, Muslims and the human rights brigade is that this may cause a backlash against Muslims.

However, have you noticed the outrage expressed against non-Muslims when the victim (or victims) is a Muslim?

In Kenya, radical Islamic Mullah Aboud Rogo Mohammed, who is in everybody's books as not a nice person, was shot dead as he drove in a car with his family. Most likely, he was shot dead by followers of his own warped faith. Yet for some strange reason, Muslims in Kenya have gone on the riot attacking churches and killing one person.

The thing is, this behaviour is commonplace when Muslims feel slighted, be it a little 11-year-old girl collecting rubbish in Pakistan, a cartoonist drawing a picture of a primitive paedophile, or even a man walking his dog in a park in Canada. In each and every case, Muslims lash out.

So much for equality then?
