Muslims shield Christians when Al-Shabaab attacks bus in Kenya

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/22/africa/kenya-bus-attack-al-shabaab-muslim-christians/index.html

(CNN)Their M.O. is a tried and terrifying one: Launch a raid, single out Christians, and then spray them with bullets.

But when Al-Shabaab militants ambushed a bus Monday, things didn't go according to plan.

The Muslim passengers, who were mostly women, told the Islamic militants to kill them all or leave them alone, witnesses said.
