Malian special forces have entered the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali's capital, Bamako, to end a siege by gunmen who had been holding 170 people hostage. The gunmen stormed the US-owned hotel, which is popular with foreign businesses and airline crews, shooting and shouting "God is great!" in Arabic. Malian state TV is reporting that 80 people have now been freed. At least three people are reported to have been killed in the siege that started around 07:00 GMT. Six staff from Turkish Airlines were at the hotel when it was attacked, and a Chinese guest told China's state news agency Xinhua he was among about seven Chinese tourists trapped there. A French presidential source said French citizens were also at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Reuters news agency reports.

    Let us be judgemental. We are dealing with a religion where lying is considered moral, buggering children is 'part of their culture' and murder and war is a way of life. How obvious does Evil have to be before we in the West can say what is self evidently true and call it out?

    There will be no peace between us. Ever. If we, at great expense in blood and treasure, beat them down and force them to submit we will have a short period without violence while they regroup and rearm. We must ban them from our lands, require those already within to assimilate (i.e. convert to a less 'pure' for of Islam that is compatible with civilization) or leave and stop feeding them such that they can afford to breed in such a profligate way so as to keep their numbers under control within their own lands. Yes that means we spend whatever it takes to make the oil under their sand worth roughly the same as the sand atop it.

    Quite right, sir. Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

    Start with the Middle East, make our way to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia and anywhere else these scum reside. Once we've glassed over these violent scum, we can turn our attention to the wetbacks. They're really too close for nuking, so we should just shoot or sterilize them all, don't you think?

    But why stop there? Let's get all the niggers too. And the Jews. Don't forget those filthy Papists, either.

    We sure do have a lot of work to do, don't we jmorris [soylentnews.org]?
