Story hereFrom the article:
Muslims who were among migrants trying to get from Libya to Italy in a boat this week threw 12 fellow passengers overboard -- killing them -- because the 12 were Christians, Italian police said Thursday.
Italian authorities have arrested 15 people on suspicion of murdering the Christians at sea, police in Palermo, Sicily, said.

But evidently that is going to remain studiously unnoticed by some people ;shrug:

That doesn't really change what I said in my previous reply, though.

(6,843 posts)It is quite large. Furthermore, it takes a special kind of nutjob to seek assylum and kill others who are also fleeing while you do it because of religious differences. I hope the italians put them back on the boat and send them to Syria.

(13,081 posts)But it doesn't say that they saved other people's lives. It says that they saved their own lives -- "they themselves were spared" -- because the remaining Christians formed a human chain.
Personally, I've learned to wait for the details with these sorts of stories.
