Salafists kill Christians in Church as the Christians were praying

2012-01-06

Gunmen have opened fire on worshippers as their eyes were closed in prayer at a Nigerian church, killing six in the latest sectarian attack in Africa's most populous nation.

The attack on the outskirts of the northeastern city of Gombe comes after an ultimatum issued on Sunday by a purported spokesman for Islamist group Boko Haram
Boko Haram (Western learning is forbidden) is the nickname of a group that actually calls itself "People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad"
for Christians to leave the country's mainly Muslim north within three days.
The big media in the US will probably title this, "Religious Violence again strikes Africa".

#3 As in India, the Brits preferred to employ minority muslims in the local army, lest the majority get uppity. When they left Nigeria, the muz ((30%) used their arms to encroach on the South. They forced conversions on 250,000 Christians, Spiritualists and Animists. Christians responded by assassinating a muzlim leader (Saudana), which led the North to set itself against the South. In that context, Biafra province seceded with US approval. However, the Brits and Ruskies chose to support a unitary state. The secession war ended after a forced starvation campaign was implemented. As usual, muzlims came out of the conflict free of blame.

#1 The patience of these Christians is probably running very thin. I suspect that very shortly, a whole lot of Boko Haram are going to end up dead.
