The babes are gone, the riots go on...

Or as Ummah News puts it: Dozens dead in Nigeria riots after newspaper abuses Prophet
Riots raged on in the northern Nigerian city Kaduna after violence there forced beauty pageant organisers to abandon plans to stage Miss World in Nigeria. Fighting which began as protest by Muslim thugs youths against a newspaper article on the pageant has now degenerated into a bloody street war between Muslims and Christians. An AFP journalist was forced to join around a 1,000 refugees hiding in the Kronenbourg brewery in the south of the city near the main road to Abuja, protected by troops and an armoured car. "We had to run for our lives. They came to my house in two cars and tried to burn it. We really don't know what is happening," 20-year-old Julie Adabo told AFP.
Allow us to explain...
Another woman said that a gang came to kill her after burning her home and only let her live when she lied and claimed to be a Muslim. One man said he had seen his brother cut down before him. As she spoke, gunfire could be heard from the Trikania district around the plant and several buildings could be seen in flames. Rioting in Kaduna on Thursday claimed at least 100 lives. Many more are since thought to have perished. "Fighting continued until 11.30 pm (2230) GMT in this area. It started again at 6.30 am. We hear gunfire permanently," said the plant's French manager Regis Bouffartigue. "The soldiers shoot and the demonstrators return fire. According to the soldiers, the demonstrators even have AK47s (assault rifles)."
Y'see, AK47s are one of those things you get issued when you become a wahhabi. And once you've got a large enough Muslim population in an area, you take those AK47s out and start waging your holy war. Once all the infidels have been killed, run out of the neighborhood, or forcibly converted, you can move on to the next area. That's because Muslims need their lebensraum...

#2  First they rioted against beauty. Since the beauties are leaving, they must be rioting against ugliness. Gotta make that jehad.

#1  Interesting. This is part of a post I made at IMAO earlier..."OR, perhaps they have just not attained "critical mass" yet. I note the increasing problems some of the EUnuch nations are beginning to have and it makes me wonder if they are still too much of a minority here (and, as others noted above, their neighbors are too well armed) to feel safe indulging in "proper" behavior..."

Is this a case of great minds thinking alike?
