Trend, perhaps. But the wishes and thoughts of eveyone in an entire religion? Absurd. That's why I brought in the abortion killings reference. We know that most Christians are appalled by these actions. But to say that the actions we see on television by the very vocal and insane minority of Muslims is what all Muslims are like is absurd. I'm sure Mohammed Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabar would scoff at that generalization- as do my Muslim friends.

LAGOS, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Islamic militants burned to the ground thirteen churches and several houses in a remote northern Nigerian town after a Christian student was accused of blasphemy, police said on Thursday.

Irate youths torched churches, houses and shops late on Tuesday in Kazaure, some 80 km (50 miles) north of Kano, a northern provincial capital where hundreds have died in religious clashes in the past three years.

The dispute began when a Christian student was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammad and a group of Muslims were not satisfied with the response of school authorities.

Abubakar Sale, police commissioner in the northern Jigawa state, told Reuters that the rioters attempted to invade the school but were repelled by police.
