From the names released, I can see that the majority of the people involved were Muslims. Therefore I ask the question, what is the true motive of the group Boko Haram? Muslims that are still supporting such sect should desist from such act. I pray anybody that has information on these people to release such information to the right authorities because at the end your loved ones may also be affected notwithstanding if you are a Muslim or Christians. These group are just some mental re.tards and bas.tards used by politicians in their bid to make us believe that our president is clueless while the only clueless people here are the Boko Harams, their financiers and their supporters. May the souls of the deceased rest in perfect peace. Amen |

^^^ You are right though, but the point still remains that the BOMB is not a respecter of religion, it just goes BOOM!!!! taking everybody in its way |
Re: UN Releases Names Of Abuja Bombing Victims by SouthEast1: 11:47pm On Sep 14, 2011 |
Perhaps the bombers believed muslims do not work with the UN such that the muslim victims were unexpected collateral damage; hence they claimed they bombed cos the UN and the US were marginalizing Nigerian muslims |

It was a mindless and cruel act. I'll like to see the barons, patrons and supporters of this wicked Boko Haram sect uprooted, disgraced, and sentenced to death. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. |

@South-East Not to pick an argument, but please the majority of the victims are not muslims 7/11 appear to be non-muslims Agreed that the victims are a mixture of all people as expected in a UN set up, but muslims around Nigeria have suffered at least equally and probably more by the evil of Boko Haram and the killings of their loved ones. NL prefer to ignore that and blame all muslims for the terrorism of a few in a misguided sect. |
