A bullet with her name on it
2006-09-18
Sister Leonella, a nun who devoted her life to helping the sick in volatile regions of Africa, used to joke that there was a bullet with her name engraved on it in Somalia. When the bullet came, she used her last breaths to forgive those responsible....Sister Leonella, whose birth name was Rosa Sgorbati, had lived and worked in Kenya and Somalia for 38 years, her family said.

She was shot as she left the Austrian-run S.O.S. hospital Sunday. Her bodyguard also was slain. The two had been walking the 10 meters (30 feet) from the Mogadishu hospital to the sister's home, where three other nuns were waiting to have lunch with her.

"She had no chance," Huber added. "It was like an execution."
This kind of faith and courage always astonishes me, always surprises me.

#6  Cut to the chase, guys.

From my linky above....

"The reactions of the media in general were predictable, with many newspapers being singularly outspoken. The Citizen of Azania had this to say on June 26:

Non-violence in many ways is being practised by the (Name your movement). I asked one of their commanders, X, what they actually do in Y, and he said they're not doing much fighting, except when they are fired upon, or when the Y defence forces find them and try to run them out.

"Basically what they are doing is moving around the villages and conducting political seminars and singing songs."

So says Mr. ABC, XYZ Ambassador to the United Nations, in a recent interview with the DEFHIJ.

This weekend, in the worst atrocity committed against white civilians in the history of Y's six-year war, terrorists of (Name that Name)'s National Liberation Army hacked and battered to death almost the entire white staff and their families at the Elim Pentacostal Mission in the Eastern border mountains.

Mr. Young is asked: "Does Mr. ZYX strike you as a violent man?"

He replies: "Not at all, he's a very gentle man. In fact, one of the ironies of the whole struggle is that I can't imagine XYZ, or ZYX, ever pulling the trigger on a gun to kill anyone".


Taquiya from true kaffirs of Islam.

Kissinger/Thatcher/Colloughan, (sp),/Royal British Family /self-interests at heart. Laissez-faire passive killers, on good pensions, I bet.

I dont want to say I knew it all along, but I was asked about my agenda a while back. May this be allegorical, and the future of life of what happens when the aforementioned c*ck-suckers give up the war for hot toddies and slippers, with a nice speaking tour thrown in.

ST. PAUL'S MASSACRE, MUSAMI
During the night of February 7, 1977, seven white Roman Catholic missionaries were murdered by terrorists. They included four nuns. A newspaper report set out the story as follows: In what the sole survivor described as a senseless, insane and brutal act, nationalist guerrillas last night gunned down seven white Roman Catholic missionaries, including four nuns. Father Dunstan Myerscough, who is 65, said today that he had escaped by throwing himself to the ground as the guerrillas opened fire from five yards range. Father Myerscough said he was in no doubt that the killers were nationalist guerrillas, although they had uttered hardly a word before shooting the helpless missionaries.

MORE of story at link. Link also describes a long hidtory murder of missionaries in Rhodesia.

#3  Musami Massacre a few years back, 1977, when the war on terror was appeased for PC thinking in its pot-smoking, dhimmi-thinking infancy. Anyone with two eyes would have seen this coming to bite the western arse. Still pisses me off.

Kaffirs/Arabs/Pakisatanis, they all look the same to me, and I can tell one at a thousand yards.

Watch my tracer.
