This story is very carefully worded, so that it is not clear that the "religious rioters" who set ten "worship centres" ablaze are Muslims torching churches until we are informed that those fleeing the wrath of the "irate youths" were Christians. Apparently the situation in Nigeria is so delicate that even the facts of the case, simply stated, might enflame murderous passions anew.
"Religious rioters torch 10 buildings in Jigawa," from Nigeria's The Guardian, with thanks to Sky:
NIGERIA once again relapsed into sectarian violence yesterday as a band of irate youths went on rampage in Dutse, Jigawa State capital. They looted and set ablaze 10 worship centres.Although no life was lost, the Police appeared helpless in stopping the rampaging youths.
The anger was said to have been sparked off by an alleged blasphemous comment on Prophet Muhammed by a Christian woman, who reportedly spoke in reaction to a similarly irreverent statement about Jesus Christ by a male Moslem.
As the state capital was thrown into turmoil, Christians and other non-indigenes fled to Police Barracks to escape the wrath of the rampaging youths.
The North-West Zone Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph Hayab, in a telephone call to The Guardian, gave the name of the female Christian as Jummai, a resident of Kaduna.
Hayab expressed surprise that a mere altercation between two people could lead to such wanton destruction in the name of religions.
He said: "This is a heinous crime in the name of religion. Why should some people always think that they have monopoly of violence? At this critical moment in the chequered history of the nation, we need to preach peace and not violence under the guise of defending a religion."....
The Sultan of Sokoto and the spiritual head of Nigerian Moslems, Alhaji Muhammadu Maccido, also decried the use of religion as a tool for violence. He said: "No religion will support violence, harassment, victimisation and all vices, let alone murdering of innocent people. No religion will encourage segregation, discrimination and suppression."
Roger that.

Remind what was the reaction of satan in the film the omen when he was confronted with the cross?
Did the pope show the strength of the cross in his speech?

No religion does. islam is not a religion, it is a death cult.

The careful wording reminds me of the way Muslim violence is reported in India where the press uses the term "communal violence" in order to mask the culprits.

The Sultan of Sokoto ... decried the use of religion as a tool for violence. He said: [insert islamic lie here]....
Right. And we all know that the only "innocent" people are the moslems. The rest of us are to be killed. This muslim spreading islam is lying. He enjoys seeing the infidels burn.
I would like to see the great sultan decry the use of islam as a tool for violence. He won't. Because he is a muslim spreading islam. He has been infected.
What can we expect from a culture that worships a black rock from space.

There in an ongoing religious conflict in Nigeria that has been going on for several years now. The Muslims are trying to take over. They resort to the typical Muslim action of killing and destroying all who refuse to submit. Nigeria has a large Christian populace. The past several years have seen tens of thousands of deaths directly attributable to the Muslims desire to force submission. Muslims from Chad and Niger frequently cross over the border to instigate violence.
Much like Darfur, the world has sadly chosen not to help. The Nigerian Christians have been fighting back, but are poorly armed and poorly supplied.
People say there is no war with Islam, but to me, It certainly appears there is a war and it is with Islam as a religion.

WOW! To me this sounds awfully like what the Pope was saying - religion and violence don't go together.
I am soooooooo confused now!

Gramfan:
Don't be. George Friedman at Stratfor posits that Benedict, who is no fool, knew exactly what he was provoking when he referenced the discourse between the Byzantine emperor and his Persian overlord. He was challenging Muslim leaders to respond rationally and responsibly and it seems that the Sultan of Sokoto has risen to the occasion.

--- the Sultan of Sokoto
Sultan, you gotta be reading these holy scriptures dude:
Killing infidels is a small matter to us.
--- Mohammed talking murder in Tabari 9:69
* 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 *
No religion will encourage segregation, discrimination and suppression.
--- the Sultan of Hell-hole
More scriptures, Sultan:
Gabriel came to Mohammed and said, “If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey's.”
Somebody get on the phone to Kareem Abdul Jabaar and Mohammed Ali. These guys are gonna be pissed when they hear about this outrage. So will the Sultan. But maybe not, maybe the Sultan is a submissive.
After all, the word Islam does translate to Submission.

...Sultan of Sokoto has risen to the occasion.
In what way? I would prefer him to specifically condemn islam as a tool for violence. And his use of the word "innocents" causes me to think he does not mean all people, just muslims.
Muslims will do anything to spread islam. I would not listen to their words. My eyes see much that contradicts the moslems words.
at September 21, 2006 8:32 AM
Once again the "peaceful" ones show that they can't accept the truth, so they act out in the very way they say is not true of their beliefs. Is it any wonder that today, as some 600 years ago, Islam is feared and not well thought of by rational people?

I agree. Therefore, Islam doesn't qualify as a religion by the Sultan's standard, correct?
Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS at September 21, 2006 9:44 AM
Ah, those "youths" again. They certainly get around.
Interesting that there were no Christian "youths" burning "worship centers" over the insult to Jesus Christ.

Somewhere in The Kabbalah, God admits to doing one thing wrong:

The murderous cult known as Islam needs to be outlawed in the USA. It won't happen all at once. Some small Bible-belt communities need to take the initiative with the help of action-committees formed in Churches that coordinate the movement with their local government.
As each new outrage is foisted on us Americans by these cretinous cult-followers, it'll be that much easier to enact nation-wide legislation.
Posted by: Ynkedoodl2 at September 21, 2006 10:13 AM
The Texican brings up an interesting point. Since the "peaceful" ones can't kill over 3000 people on a daily basis as on 9/11 maybe their idea is to kill "only" a few people here and there and nobody will really notice. After all, when most of the post 9/11 attacks the Texican cites took place rarely did the media point out their "religious" nature. Maybe the Islamaniacs intend to wipe us out a little at a time until they finally outnumber us. Ingenius little devils, aren't they?
Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS at September 21, 2006 11:03 AM
Freedom in America is being wagered on peace with islam.
Isn’t the assault more that of a Chinese water torture thing?
With every Moslem immigrant that comes into America, and with every conversion of an American citizen to Islam, we grow a little less free and the Constitution shrinks a few microns.
Drip by drip; Moslem by Moslem; it's all such a slow, torturous, ugly process.

Alarmed Pig Farmer you are spot on again. Do you think if they kill one or two people at a time, and then of course claim they were made mentally ill by upcoming weddings or job loss or Israel, that we will go back to sleep and not realize they ARE actually continuing their jihad? I still can't believe some are still sleeping. How does one sleep with a loud alarm screaming outside your door?

Texican, the list you provided is like an effective pistol in our arsenal -- however, without a link for each item, it's like a pistol without bullets.
at September 21, 2006 1:57 PM
BBC radio had a dispicable report on this.
Their "reporter" described some of the carnage, then concluded with the usual denial that it had anything to do with Islam. He said something close to: 'Although the violence has a "veneer" (yes, veneer; just an appearance or thin outer layer) of religious conflict to it, fundamentally it's the same old story of poor, unemployed youth with nothing better to do.'
Ah yes, those young scamps are at it again, just like in Paris last Spring. If only they had jobs they wouldn't be so bored to engage in such hijinks. Ah to be young again....
Such is the warped, delusional state of the left-wing world media.
