I'm surprised this made the news. The press is usually much more careful to ignore when Christians are persecuted or slaughtered by Muslims.

Just remember that when the Obama signed additional "hate crime" legislation into law that he did not support that crimes against Christians be included, and it wasn't either.

Religion is already protected under existing hate crime laws, genius.

I had been told it did not. Thanks for the correction, minus the name calling, of course. You could try showing a little class...

I believe you. Right-wing radio doesn't bother to actually verify anything. That would be so elitist!

"Rights activists said the slaughter appeared to be revenge for the January attacks in which mainly Muslims were killed.

"Locals said that the attacks on Sunday were the result of a feud which had been first ignited by a theft of cattle and then fuelled by deadly reprisals."

Do you repeat as fact everything you're "told" that you want to believe?

Nothing. Muslim vs. Christian violence has been ongoing in Nigeria for some time.

Religious infighting? No. No. No. There is a low level muslim insurgency occurring Nigeria. No doubt spurred on by radical imams. A muslim militia, Boko Haram (translated - non islamic education is sin), recently launched attacks against Nigeria police stations across four providences that killed almost as nearly people.

KANO, Dec 29, 2009 (IPS) - Government has again clashed with a religious sect in the state of Bauchi. Just under six months ago, an Islamist sect called Boko Haram launched attacks on police stations across four northern states, and hundreds of lives were lost before the situation was brought under control.

Atiku Yusif Kafur, Bauchi State Police Commissioner, told a press conference that 35 members of an Islamic sect known as Yan Kala-Kato - including its leader Malam Badamasi - were killed on Monday by a joint army and police squad at Zango, about three kilometres from the state capital.

"We have made arrest of twenty people, eleven adults and nine youth and fourteen were injured. We carted away weapons from the group leader's house, including cutlasses and knives," he stated.

Uh oh, you realize those Nigerians are Blacks and not Arabs. Are you okay with stereotyping all Blacks as being Islamic terrorists now too?
