Dunno what you mean. If it's reported someone will bring it up. Speaking of which:

Reuters news agency reports that the gunmen attacking the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali's capital Mali have released some hostages including those able to recite verses of the Koran.That's according to their security source.AFP news agency also reports that Mali security forces have escorted two women from the hotel.

Would lend support to the idea it's Islamic extremists.

It also states:

"The security source has told Reuters that some hostages, including those able to recite verses of the Koran, are being freed."

This is what both ISIS do in Lybia and what Al Shabab did in the Kenya mall massacre.
But I dont understand...every liberal I talk to keeps telling me that islam is the religion of peace.

Idk, its almost like they're wrong.:mmm:

That's getting really old now. At least start being original.


Anyway, I wonder if people will now be changing their facebook profile pictures to that of the Mali flag :rolleyes:
I'm surprised, if it's Isis, that they are letting other Muslims go, they seem to spend so much if their time killing fellow Muslims I'm shocked.
