JOS, Nigeria – More than 200 bodies — many of them women and children — lay in the streets of a central Nigerian town after a renewed spate of Christian-Muslim violence, witnesses said Sunday, just months after religious violence tore through a nearby city and left hundreds dead.

It’s such a pieceful religion.

[NativeNewYorker]

The legacy of eight years of failure. That’s the template, right?

“Christian-Muslim” violence?

So who did the violence? The Christians or the Muslims? Or all they all one now?

Christian-Muslim violence

That should read: "Muslim-on-Christian violence".

I wonder when the Christian anti-jihad is going to start?

I guess this is really not that important in most of Africa.
Looks like as long as they can slaughter anyone they are just fine. Today they Kill because of christ, tomorow because of Mohammed, then because of the tribe... and finally they start all over again. Most of Africa is just lost.

I’m wondering just how long it’s going to take before someone starts taking out these murder mobs en mass. It’s the only thing that’s gonna stop them.

[Persevero]

I’m going to stick my neck out and say that I don’t think it’s the evangelical Christians doing the killing.

I sincerely doubt that members in good standing of Bible believing churches are running about killing women and children with machetes.

I do believe the Christians can be involved in warfare with the Muslim military. More power to them as far as I am concerned.

[darkside321]

unfortunately i would not bet on this.
Remember this is africa. For example ever heard of the LRA Lords liberation Army? They are responsible for many crimes against humanity. Only because someone calls himself christian does not nessersary mean that they behave like that. Just as example even the Nazi soldiers had “Gott mit uns” (God with us) on their uniforms.

[Persevero]

Anyone can “call” themselves a Christian.

I said a member of a Bible believing church.

There is a difference in accountability, there.

Muslims in their Koran are instructed to kill infidels.

Christians in their Bible are instructed to love their enemies.

There are such things as a just war, easily proven; but the point is, a Bible believing Christian, or a Torah believing Jew, could not justify killing women and children like that.

Muslims can easily justify it.

I don’t like Islam being made equivalent to every other belief system in the world. It is uniquely not.
