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.

"The hoodlums then mobilised and went into town where they started looting and burning people's property," Sale said by phone from Dutse, the state capital.

"Thirteen churches were burnt, several houses and shops were torched, but there were no deaths," said Keirian Dudari, assistant inspector general of police in Kano.

Police said the town was calm on Thursday after reinforcements were deployed to quell the riots.

The violence came after three students were killed and more than 30 injured in fighting between Muslims and Christians at a university in northeastern city of Maiduguri earlier this month.

More than 5,000 people have been killed in religious violence in northern Nigeria in the past four years since the introduction of Islamic sharia law in 12 states.

* Waits for the lefties to come up with 'appropriate' excuses for this savage behaviour and to assign blame to Israel or George Bush or some other ridiculous reason *

Is there any doubt that Christianity is now under a all out ATTACK ? Guess we all better re- read Revelation and pack our bags!!

[RightOnline]

Gee golly. I'm just sure it's the Christians' fault. No way the Muslims would ever resort to this unless severely provoked or attacked.

Ahem............

Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism. All under attack the world over by one group: Islam. We made a big mistake allowing them to come over here with free roam and build their mosques. I wonder what would be the reaction if someone where to post this article over at that Democratic Underground site? Would such an article ever be posted there? Those types seem to turn a convenient blind eye to this sort of thing.

Didn't they hear that we pray to the same God??

Apparently they were unaware. This should correct everything:

One can only imagine in the wildest nightmares what would happen in America if these people ever came to power here.

Don't say that by their actions they haven't given us fair warning!

"Religion Of Peace", my @$$!

[Aquinasfan]

Islam,religion of tolerance.

And peace. Although someone told me that the primary meaning of "Islam" is "submission." But that can't be because the media tells me that it's a religion of peace.

And they want to teach Islam in our public schools??

Want too? They ARE!! My 12 year old had to do a report on it!!! And guess what she is studying right now? BUddism!!(care less if I spelled it right!)

Thought we were a Christian nation. Oh I am sure they will IN PASSING get to Christianity. Can't WAIT to hear the protests of parent objecting to THAT.

I know that he wants me bad…I know that he wants me bad

I'm only 8 years old…he's still got it, I'm told
In just one year I'm gonna be his

Although I still am flat...he'll call me pussy cat
That I'm too young is nobody's biz

That is what I really want to be
When I am Mohammed's girl…I am Mohammed's girl
I know he will take good care of me

All of his wives are hags…they've turned into old bags
I am so fresh and very nubile

On me he's had his eye…he is my kind of guy
I'll be the next one he will defile

I will be Mohammed's girl…I will be Mohammed's girl
That is what I really want to be
When I am Mohammed's girl…I am Mohammed's girl
I know he will take good care of me
