    The issue is Arabs, we equally have good good Muslims in Africa, our brother's in Africa are not barbaric as ISIS, let there be distinction between the two, this is not an issue of religion but the people.

  • Dwanfunu 9 years ago

    Africans only know how to kill and destroy fellow African but don't know how to fight common enemies like these. We must revenge now. We must know that the enemy of Africans and attack them as such.

  • Straight talker 9 years ago

    These are known places where blacks are mistreated and yet they continue to go there. Why? Where is the wealth we claim to have? Nothing is more painful than the killing of other africans by South Africans.
