September 22, 2006 Churches Burned as Muslims Riot in Nigeria Over Pope Remarks
The Religion of Free Speech and Freedom of Religion in Africa. Blasphemy against the 'Prophet' Mohammed is a capital offense under Islamic law.
Reuters:
Nigerian authorities have imposed a night curfew on the northern town of Dutse after Muslim mobs burned 11 churches over what they said was blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammad by a Christian woman, police said on Thursday.
Scores of houses and shops owned by Christians were also torched in the capital of remote Jigawa state during a riot on Wednesday sparked by a disagreement between a Muslim man and a Christian woman, police spokesman Haz Iwendi said.
No one was killed in the riot but up to seven people were injured, Iwendi said.
"Eleven churches and so many houses and shops were burned. The house of the Anglican bishop was also ransacked," he said, adding that hundreds of Christians fled their homes to military and police barracks fearing further attacks.
Religion of peace my arse BUMP!
With zero calls to, in the very least, pray for our brothers and sisters slaughtered by our very enemy.
And Muslims continue to prove what is a UNIVERSAL TRUTH!
Your "Prophet" was a violent madman, and you continue his traditions.
You do not practice a religion, but a pathology of violence and death.
Yep. Just the list in Kosovo would fill up this thread.
Ah, the religion of PEACE, strikes again!
No, they burned 11 churches, as far as I have been able to glean from the many articles I have read about this, because one Christian women responded to remarks made to her by a muslim that slandered Jesus Christ. It was ok for the muslim to critisize Christ but not for the Christian to critisize islam.
Ahh, islam the religion of peace and fairness./HUGE SAR
This is only the beginning. All of Europe will suffer the same. It will be terrible.

What can you do with people like these? No one is safe as long as Muslims roam the earth.
This picture not only confirms what the Pope has said, but as I have said, terrorism is the fruit of the root, called Islam.
I am convinced that they worship the devil.
Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers in the world.
This may not be about the Pope at all. This may have more to do with causing unrest in hopes of taking over the country and seizing the oil fields.
