200+ Nigerians Slaughtered With Machedes...

[ChefChiTown]

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) -- The death toll from weekend violence in central Nigeria climbed to more than 200 Monday after members of a machete-wielding Muslim group attacked a mostly Christian town south of the city of Jos, officials said.

More than 200 were dead and 32 injured, according to Choji Gyang, a religious affairs adviser to the head of Plateau state, who said bodies were still being recovered. Sani Shehu, president of the non-governmental agency Civil Rights Congress, put the number of dead at about 485 people.

The attackers stormed the town at 3 a.m. Sunday (9 p.m. Saturday ET) and remained there for 2.5 hours, Pampe said. Buildings were set afire and people were attacked with machetes, Yenlong said.

The violence resembled previous outbreaks of ethno-religious clashes in the west African nation.

Wow, this whole religion thing seems to be working out well for everyone.

Nigeria with its countless ethnicities and clashing religions is Africa's Yugoslavia. The only thing holding the country together is Big Oil.

How bad off is the country when the rest of the world looks at the situation and says, "yeah, I'm not getting involved in that."

Towns being set on fire and people being killed. Is this the f**king Middle Ages?

The muslims have always had a hard on for killing the Christian Ibo.

A couple of weeks ago , it was the other way round , christians murdered plenty muslims in Nigeria

 

[Lonilover]

it's always muslims against christians in so many places in the world. Can they just never live normally and in peace ? seems impossible somehow.

Could you post a link?
That would be very unusual, and I don't recall reading about that happening...
Muslims killing lots of *****s is fairly common, and it may have passed by without being noticed, but Christians slaughtering Muslims by the hundreds is big news.

Anybody who thinks Islam has anything constructive to offer the planet is delusional. A brief overview of that perverted religion shows what a lunatic pedophile Mohammed was. Some 700 or so years after Christianity Mohammed had his first visions and began that wicked religion.
I will give them credit though; anyone who prays five times a day is definitely dedicated.

I hope those "******s" rape you in a dark alley.

How did you surmise that from Philb's post? :dunno:

Precedent mostly. I just don't understand how someone can be so proud and outspoken about it. I knew he was hateful, but I didn't expect him to show his true colors in such a radical way.

Hmmm, you kind of have to be a little imaginative for that word to pop in your head.

Funny....I was just thinking that the only thing missing in this thread is a little bit of racial tension.:helpme:
