Religious Crossfire

Taking a boat from North Africa to Europe is very common for families and people who want to escape poverty or war. This journey however is very dangerous and a recent event just showed how dangerous it is. Yesterday twelve christans were thrown overboard by Muslims. Sadly all twelve of them died but luckily none of the other hundred passengers were thrown overboard because they all fought against it and they all went unharmed. An Italian navy vessel came and took all of the other passengers to Europe, and when they got there arrests were made. Local authorities arrested 15 people who they thought might have had something to do with it.

I think that's it's really sad that Muslims and Christains can't get along because I think there would be a lot less violence in this world if those two groups didn't hate each other. I mean God told everyone to love one another and the Muslims don't seem to do that. Now I'm not saying that every Muslim is violent and wants to kill because we all know that that's wrong. I was also shocked to learn how many people die on these trips every year. Since the year 2000, almost 22,000 people have died, and almost ONE THOUSAND people this year have already died. Overall, I think that one of the main steps in getting peace restored in this world is fixing the bad relationship between the Christians and the Muslims and this event just isn't helping.
