Quote:Christian militias in Central African Republic have carried out ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population during the country's ongoing civil war, but there is no proof there was genocidal intent, a United Nations commission of inquiry has said.
"Thousands of people died as a result of the conflict. Human rights violations and abuses were committed by all parties. The Seleka coalition and the anti-balaka are also responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity," the inquiry said on Thursday.
"Although the commission cannot conclude that there was genocide, ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population by the anti-balaka constitutes a crime against humanity," the report said. Interactive: The war across the river
The final report of the inquiry, which was submitted to the UN Security Council on December 19, said up to 6,000 people had been killed though it "considers that such estimates fail to capture the full magnitude of the killings that occurred".
The mostly Christian or animist "anti-balaka" militia took up arms in 2013 in response to months of looting and killing by mostly Muslim Seleka rebels who had toppled President Francois Bozize and seized power in March the same year.
The UN Security Council established the commission of inquiry in December 2013. Is it time to ban religion? There is a big difference between killing in the name of religion, and a religious person killing for a purpose. Had that Muslim cop in Paris shot the terrorist last week before they could kill him, it would have been a Muslim killing people for a purpose, but it would not be killing in the name of a religion. Yes the person killing is religious, but their religion is completely irrelevant. It is just a cop doing his job.Read the highlighted part. It wasn't just Christians involved, and the killing happened in retaliation to previous attacks. The retaliations were also many small attacks over a period of time, not just one big slaughter. Their religion is irrelevant to the actions. It was self preservation by a mixture of religions coming under attack by Muslims over a long period of time, and especially over the last couple of years. that doesn't make any sense. Take religion out of the equation and that is one less reason to kill another. It makes perfect sense. There are many times when killing happens that has nothing to do with religion. The person killing may be religious, but their killing of another has nothing to do with their religion. If a cop shoots a terrorist, does it matter that the cop may be Christian, Muslims, atheist, etc? Of course not. It has nothing to do with why they shot the terrorist. If a Muslims man shoots his neighbour because his neighbour raped his 5 year old daughter, then that has nothing to do with Islam. However, if a Muslims man shoots his neighbour because his neighbour is an atheist and his lifestyle disrespects Allah, then that has everything to do with Islam.
