@Lola4eva
Thanks for your contribution. For more than 20 years now there has been repeated and sometimes unprovoked religious disturbances in northern Nigeria.

These murderous riots follow the same patterns year-in, year-out.

Everybody in authority claim not to know what to do, can you imagine a killing rampage in Enugu by catholic youths going on from year to year, directed against other religions?

Can you imagine that the Archbishop or the whoever is incharge would be walking around a freeman, blaming the problems on street-urchins?

No, he would have been in jail long time ago.

Why can't that happen in the north? Which iman has ever been arrested and convicted for for these riots. Probably, NONE.

The Ku Klux Klan (aka KKK) considered themselves to be a Christian movement. They lynched blacks and whites, hated Jews and Catholics, and burnt churches.

It is unchristian to be violent.
It is unChristian to destroy properties.
It is unChristian to kill.

But Christians in Northern Nigeria have run out of cheeks!
They've been pushed to the wall and relegated to second class citizens in their own land.
They have been provoked enough.

I wept when my dad told me how people slaughtered innocent  Muslims in Aba in 2000,an aftermath of the massive killings on Christians in Kaduna.
Up to 100 innocent men,women and children killed for no fault of theirs.
The killing of Muslims in Onitsha followed after another riot in the North where Christians were massacred for the Danish cartoons.
Muslims who made Onitsha their home.
The story had it that folks saw the mangled and mutilated bodies of their loved ones arriving on gwongworo and they lost it and descended on the mallams and their families.

Why can't we live in peace?
Why can't our Muslim northerners be tolerant of their neighbors?
Why can't they preach the peace they claim to believe in?
Why must we go through this yearly?

My family has been a victim of this mayhem in the North.
Members of my family have lived in northern Nigeria since the 1940's
I still have family in Bauchi,Kaduna,Kano,Jos and Maiduguri.
This whole thing just makes me sooooooo sad.
We don't need to have people weeping for their loved ones in the name of religion.

nwando:

But does the Bible condone it?
Did Christ teach that?
That is the difference

davidylan:

the KKK was primarily a racist organisation targetting blacks. To deceitfully include whites is to provide an untenable excuse for muslim violence.

RichyBlacK:

The bombings by the IRA in London and all the skirmishes in the UK & Ireland between Catholics and Protestants is evidence that the Bible can be interpreted to execute hate.

davidylan:

again you wish to deceitfully, dishonestly and falsely use a completely irrelevant occurence to excuse muslim violence. The IRA only happened to be a nationalist organisation fighting primarily for political gain in a nation that just happened to be predominantly catholic.

Please provide us clear evidence that the IRA was motivated primarily by religion before pushing forward such untenable excuses.

the solution to all this mess is the political entity called nigeria. when these things happen, responsible govts will set up a commision to investigate the issue, people have to go to jail, people may even be sentenced to death for this, then it will be a warning to future killers to desist. a kind of deterent. but in naija. . . . no way. it is forgotten after 2 days, until the next time. country wey no fit count himself, wey no fit conduct free and fair election is a country that is doomed.
i'm sorry to say it,
i'm ashamed to say it,
it pains me to say it,
but if i have to say the truth,
then i have to say it,
nigeria as it is today is doomed
and the way the nation is moving. . it is headed for even greater doom.

i look around europe and see the youth of our nation being "wasted" in a foreign land. a country where each time a gov leaves office the Ist thing he does is to run to europe/us to rest. a country where nobody, from the aged to the kids, nobody is talking about lifting the nation high. it is a nation with great men/women yet it is doomed unless there is a new sensitive leadership. so wether you be muslim or xtain, these riots are not just religious, it is part of a sick nation.

most likely, the hoodlums that burnt down the mosgue are unemployed youth, the hoodlums that retaliated may also be umemployed youth,may be even graduates, the kids who may join the riots are probably homeless street kids selling pure water. . . . . classical signs of a sick nation under the covering of religion.

Besteric:

When is Richy Black going to get tired of defending Islam, a religion of Violence, by comparing nationalistic movements who happen to be in predominantly xtain areas to islamic terrorists.
when Muslims say Salam Blah Blah Blah Blah to everybody, i laugh at them because i know that there's nothing peaceful about the religion.
Once again, the terror squads of Field Marshal terrorist Muhammed are on the rampage, May God have mercy on the souls of the victims of islamic terrorism,, ,

This is a very sickening topic; Someone said it best, that "these are borrowed religions" but now we are the defenders of that; am not saying our traditional religions were any better but this is really uncalled for. I really wish that education and common values can prevail so that it will curb this ignorance weakening us. The arabs are happy and the west probably didn't antisipate this but is all good for them. Now we have shunned Sudan all because it is a complicated issue because u also have black africans killing others in the name of religion. I really believe God is so pissed off at Africa after all the the wealth he has given but yet we still remain very foolish and massively ignorant.
