On May 2, 2010, the “Westboro Baptist Church,” listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, praised a deadly bombing of a mosque in Somalia that resulted in the death of 45 Somali Muslims. The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) praised this killing of Muslims and bombing of a Somalian mosque as part of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) blog “GodSmack.”
On May 2, 2010, the Westboro Baptist Church stated on its blog: “THANK GOD FOR EXPLOSIONS AT SOMALIAN MOSQUE-45 DEAD!” and praised the bombing in Somalia as deserved because “Somalia is Islamic.”

==================
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) urges all Christians to reject and condemn this message of hate from the Westboro Baptist Church. Moreover, we urge all Christians to convey to Christian-named “hate groups” such as the “Westboro Baptist Church” that John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
For all those who hate, R.E.A.L. urges you to
Choose Love, Not Hate.
Love Wins.
