Nigerian Christian Churches Burned - 15 Killed

[jimbeaux]

This is the doings of an ill-educated lot being controlled by a few manipulators I am sure. However, it is way past time that the "good" Muslims step up and clean their house before the perception is irreversable. This is the first time I have heard that Chritians were directly attacked. This could be a part of the "Bounty" thread, but I feel it is an escalation of a different type, therefore, I began this thread. If you mods feel I am incorrect, please do your thing.

Wonder if this has got anything to do with those Cartoons ?

Apparently so, as if the Nigerians had anything to do with it. By attacking Christian churches, they just made it a Christian / Muslim thing. It was just a matter of time

This kind of thing happens often in places like Indonesia and the Philippines (just two places i know of, im sure there are more).

they are trying to make it a christian vs muslim thing, and not doing a very good job to be honest.

i don't believe for a minute that these are muslims. they are just a group of thugs within a larger peaceful protest.

I agree. This could be engineered by the same small group of Mullahs that drew up the worst of the cartoons themselves just to stir more $hite

Since when has logic got in the way of a good crusade?

These muslim radicals are just using the cartoons as an excuse to push their agenda the same way that the Bush Administration used September the 11th as a subconciously link to WMD in Iraq and terrorism thus construing it as a threat and creating an excuse to invade Iraq for whatever their own reasons were. (I know they didn't specifically say Iraq had anything to do with 11/9 but most Americans seem to associate the two in their heads nonetheless).

A lot of the large wars and blooshed in history has been caused by similar situations.

Having been in a rather worrying situation stood between two drunken geordies and 30 nigerians I can understand this having very little to do with religion at all. At the risk of generalising, life is cheap in Nigeria, no matter who you are.

I was going to say similar, some of those Nigerians are nutters. Lagos is a pretty scary place imo
