Nigerian Muslims Slaughter Christians, Torch 11 Churches
Topics: Understanding Islam
From the BBC - sixteen people have been killed in northern Nigeria during protests by Muslims over cartoons!. A Catholic Priest and 3 children are among the dead!
The AP is reporting that 15 churches were burned in the mainly Muslim region. One group threw a tyre around one man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze," and the rioting Muslims stormed through the streets for three hours before police restored order.
Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the riotersRead the commentary and extended coverage at Gateway Pundit.
Please, someone, explain to me the logic in this insanity! What is it about Islam that conditions some Muslims to be so intolerant of non-Muslims, and to have such a fanatical desire to control everyone both inside and outside of their faith?
This is one non-Muslim that is trying very hard to recognize that there are indeed many peaceful Muslims, but there really seems to be something about the religion of Islam that makes it very damned easy for clerics and political forces in Muslim countries to turn masses of Muslims into mindless, violent animals.
