"Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)At least 31 people were killed and 72 others injured in a bomb blast in the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola on Tuesday evening, according to Aliyu Maikano, a local Red Cross official."
I am considering whether or not Islam should even be regarded as a legal religion in this country. The decades long track record, and their stated goals for taking down America make this group a threat to our safety.
Freedom of religion is fine. Using the privileges and protections as a means to wage war is a vulnerability that we need to patch.

Not much difference between Christians, Muslims and others in some places.
Doesn't really make sense to single out one group when culture ultimately plays a larger role.
I'm not in favor of the violence reported in these articles, but they are a bit different than the Muslim terrorism going on. Here are a couple of quotes from the Washington Post article about the chaos in the Central African Republic:
Quote:
Christians have also been victims of violence, targeted by Muslims in this complex communal conflict that U.N. and humanitarian officials fear could implode into genocide. Several hundred thousand Christians remain in crowded, squalid camps, unable or too afraid to return home.
But attacks on Muslims in particular are intensifying, aid workers said.
Djotodia’s departure weakened the former Muslim rebels, known as Seleka, who carried out deadly attacks on Christians after they grabbed power in March, prompting the birth of Christian militias called the anti-balaka, or “anti-machete” in the local Sango language. The armed vigilantes have used the power vacuum to step up assaults on Muslims.
In other words, the Christian violence is not simply a case of one group attacking another without any provocation, such as what you're finding with the Muslim groups like Boko Haram.
Quote:
“The French keep trying to say the situation is stabilizing, but it actually isn’t,” Bouckaert said. “The only areas that are stabilizing are areas where all the Muslims are gone.”
So when the Muslims are gone, the area stabilizes. Notice that in other parts of the world, areas that are filled with Muslims tend to be the least stable of any.
They don't really report the news until there's an explosion or an attack.
They've charged a large number of Nigeria''s senior military officers for colluding with Boko Haram. The officers provided arms and counterterrorism intel.
Last year, there were also reports that Boko Haram's kdinapping of EU aid workers were staged by both sides to provide funding for BK.
It seems to be another case like Iraq and Syria where the military purporting to fight terrorism is also aiding terrorists.
