This "Muslim-Christian violence" is rather predictably one-sided. From AP, with thanks to Peter Rockas:
Suspected Muslim militants armed with guns and bows and arrows killed at least 48 people in an attack on a farming village in central Nigeria. Most of the victims died as they sought refuge in a church, police said. The latest bout of Muslim-Christian violence in the region occurred Tuesday night in Yelwa, a mainly Christian town in Nigeria's Plateau State, police commissioner Innocent Ilozuoke said.Army and police reinforcements helped restore calm, Ilozuoke told a news conference Wednesday in Jos, the state capital.
The killings appeared to be the latest retaliatory attack in a sporadic conflict that has rocked the central region since an outburst of sectarian violence in 2001, pitting Christians against Muslims in once-peaceful Jos. In the initial outburst in Jos more than 1,000 people died in one week.
Since then, several hundreds more have died as rival Muslim-Christian militias attacked isolated villages and towns.

As the terrorist attacks changed our world on 9-11-2001, our immigration policies should follow suit and be changed to accomodate.
No more immigration from Middle Eastern or African nations.....or for that matter, Mexico or South America.....Let these people fend for themselves without our help......maybe lessons can be learned.
