Muslims are the victims and not the aggressors.

Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on Sunday called the “targeting” of the Muslim population in the Central African Republic “heartbreaking.”
“You both have the devastating, heartbreaking, systematic targeting now of the Muslim population. You also have retaliatory attacks against Christians. That is just so painful to see these people suffer, to see parents who have had their children literally killed before their very eyes,” Power told ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.
The United Nations Security Council last week voted unanimously to send 12,000 peacekeepers to the Christian-majority Central African Republic, where Muslims and Christians are slaughtering each other, and where the government and its institutions have broken down.
The religious conflict follows last year’s coup by Muslim rebels, who overthrew the ten-year rule of CAR President Francois Bozize.
According to the BBC, the Muslim rebel leader who replaced Bozize — a Soviet-educated man named Michel Djotodia — “was accused of failing to prevent his forces from raping, torturing and killing civilians, particularly among the country’s Christian majority.”
