All these ***barred word*** are from Zongo Community, bunch of LAZY People and COWARDS. They should be prosecuted and sentence to prison not less than 25years.
Are these guys not ashamed of themselves ,they are a disgrace to Islam and I wonder if they were born into it. Why would you do things that will bring disgrace and ridicule to your religion and community? is kidnapping in the Q'uran? and do they even read the Q'uran? just a week after Ramadan and you do this heinous krime? I love Islam but the krime some unscrupulous people are attaching to it make it scary!the people I trust most are Muslims from the middle East they are very honest and hardworking people, apart from the terrorist activities which has made them monsters there is nothing wrong with them, like armed robbery, fighting on the street or thuggish activities which is rampant with Zongo boys ! It is about time I think they learn from them and promote Islam as an attractive religion and stop that African muslims it's one religion! It's disgusting for these boys to do that!
