Population is almost evenly divided between Christians and Muslims. Looks like a good case for a North and South Nigeria.

Sokoto Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah thanked state governor Aminu Tambuwal for imposing the curfew to quell protests, as well as the security forces for preventing further damage to diocesan facilities.
A mob has attacked a Catholic cathedral in Nigeria amid protests demanding the release of two suspects in the killing of a Christian student.
The Diocese of Sokoto said in a statement that youths targeted Holy Family Catholic Cathedral in Sokoto, north-west Nigeria, after police arrested two students in connection with the murder of Deborah Samuel.
Samuel, a student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, was beaten and burned on May 11 after being accused of posting “blasphemous” statements about Islam in a WhatsApp group.
The Sokoto diocese said: “The Sokoto State Government has declared a 24-hour curfew to help stem the ongoing protests embarked upon by Muslim youth in the state capital today.”
“During the protest, groups of youths led by some adults in the background attacked the Holy Family Catholic Cathedral at Bello Way, destroying church glass windows, those of the Bishop Lawton Secretariat and vandalized a community bus parked within the premises.”
“St. Kevin’s Catholic Church, Gidan Dere, Eastern By-pass, was also attacked and partly burnt; windows of the new hospital complex under construction, in the same premises, were shattered.”
“They were promptly dispersed by a team of mobile policemen before they could do further damage.”
“The hoodlums also attacked the Bakhita Centre located along Aliyu Jodi Road and burnt down a bus within the premises.”

No one even has said what the “blasphemy” was. Probably out of fear of offending mudslimes or insulting their false prophet. I’ll bet it was only something factual, which really gets them going like demons on meth.
When destroying, maiming, raping and killing becomes an accepted form of ‘worship’, this is what it looks like.
I am not saying it is this way for all Muslims, but it is this way for far too many of them.
Christianity has in general, moved on from The Crusades.
That tactic served it’s purpose during that time in civilized history.
Our view of the Crusades is colored by later sensationalized accounts created by enemies of Christendom. It is very enlightening to read balanced accounts by more recent scholars who have examined the actual records and are able to provide more balanced accounts.
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens...”
Ecclesiastes 3
THIS is who we should be arming. Christians to slaughter the Muslim barbarians and even the playing field.
Population is almost evenly divided between Christians and Muslims. Looks like a good case for a North and South Nigeria.
