#1 I can't say for certain, but I'd bet money the Ijaw are primarily Muslims. While I have great sympathy for their desires for more of the wealth being generated among them, I'd think their best bet would be to learn what's necessary to EARN some of it. In the meantime, a nice object lesson needs to be visited upon these nutjobs - a couple of carrier air crews using their "homeland" as a bombing range for a couple of weeks. As long as they're allowed to get away with this crap, they'll continue to do this. I'm tired of the manipulation of the oil market as a way of hurting the United States. I think it's time to do some hurting back - in spades. Either get along, or get snuffed.

#3 According to Wikipedia, the Ijaw are mostly Christian, not Muslim.
