10 killed in religious clashes in Nigeria | |||
2006-02-21 | |||
KANO: Ten people died on Monday and more than 40 injured in the northern Nigerian city of Bauchi following clashes between Muslims and Christians over the supposed desecration of the Koran, a Red Cross official said. The official however pointed out that the violence was not linked to SaturdayÂ’s riots in northern Nigeria over the publication of cartoons of Prophet Mohammed by a Danish newspaper which claimed at least 24 lives.

#2 Let's be clear about this. The Muslims started to burn some 30 churches after a local paper published pictures of the pedophile for prophet. These current riots are simply the Christians fighting back. Good for them. |

#1 Well, "no big deal", if I may (horribly) say so. Right after 9/11, the Nigeria deathtoll of inter-religious-non-specified-violences(tm) was about 10 000, with hamlets attacked by crowds brandishing portraits of UBL, like in Indonesia right after the NYC attacks... most of them deaders were christian minorities living in muslim north, of course... Since 2001, there was the Miss world riots, more ethnic cleasing, more sharia, more arabization, more burnt churches... one of the unreported bloody frontiers of the ROP... ah, if only they could be paleostinians, then perhaps this would make international news. Anyway, the *usual* numbers of christians killed for their faith around the world is about 8000-10 000 a month. No need to say which other revealed religion is the most responsible for theses persecutions, I guess. |
