How is asking if you'd care to comment being uptight?

You asked for a link, i was simply asking for a comment.

in which mostly Christians were killed, range from 150 to 450.
to...36 Muslim deaths.
Then I went to find out who is this Christian Berom group and what are they all about...
Christian Berom: Person DB Profile: Oil
And the first word that pops out at me at the top of that page, OIL.

The conflict began in March of this year:
France24 - Christians flee after Nigeria's massacre (http://www.france24.com/en/20100310-christians-flee-after-nigerias-massacre - broken link)

And the media is reporting it as religious based:
Religion-based violence continues in Nigeria « For the Sake of Science

It isn't religion these two groups are in disagreement over, but...oil.

Come back and try again.

Christians are still killing folks for their religion, its that simple. Sure, Muslims are to.

And you're making my point, look at my posts. I said its not the religion that anyone kills over, religion is the excuse used to kill for other reasons.

You know that video years ago when Sarah Palin was holding hands with a Kenyan priest? He's a self proclaimed witch doctor. Just google "Thomas Muthee"

The Muslim/Islamic religion is a cancer to the world. And anyone whom tries to compare Christian crimes to Muslim crimes is an absolute IDIOT!!!!

Do you realize how ironic it is that you have the name "inform" in your screen name?

Good for her. Islam is a religion based on lies and fear.
