Dozens of armed men attacked the church on Christmas Eve, dragging the pastor out of his home and shooting him to death. Two young men from the choir rehearsing for a late-night carol service also were slain.
The group of about 30 attackers armed with guns and knives also killed two people passing by Victory Baptist Church. The assailants only left after setting the church and pastor's house ablaze.
"I cannot understand these attacks," Akawu said. "Why Christians? Why Christians? The police have failed to protect us."

"I cannot understand these attacks," Akawu said. "Why Christians? Why Christians? The police have failed to protect us." Well, Akawu, there are two main reasons - You aren't muslim, and you didn't kill them first.

“I cannot understand these attacks,”
I understand the attacks. Those savages are brought up to hate all non-savages and are encouraged to attack and kill them.
Savages will always be savages.

“six killed at churches in the country's north by suspected members of a radical Muslim sect.”
How many “radical Muslim sects” are there?
To: BealNoortz
no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists.

One teeny tiny correction to to good folks at AP. Ahem.
THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT KILLED BY "VIOLENCE," THEY WERE KILLED BY MUSLIMS!
Thank you.

Muslim Terrorists do not disagree with moderate Muslims on their objectives - just on tactics.

How many radical Muslim sects are there? One. It is called Islam. Not all members are radicals, but by not speaking out they are all as culpable as the bomb builder or suicide bomber.

Everyone posting on this thread thus far has nailed it and the aiders and abetters in the media know that it’s ISLAM that is the root cause for this violence, yet they can not tell the truth. Somehow, some way we have to find a way to cut off their revenues and let them strangle in their own filth. Sorry, i know i am preaching to the choir, i am just fuming at the level of hostility to truth by the lamestream media.

"Somehow, some way we have to find a way to cut off their revenues."If it were not for oil exports, they would all still be living quietly and invisibly in mud huts and tents. We need American oil and Nuclear power to defund these sub-humans.
To: UnwashedPeasant
Sorry, that is not true. They would still have machetes and would still be sub-human. Oil has only let them spread their evil into the modern first world.
To: george76
I suspect that if you scratch past the surface of this story you will likely find
An Imam at the local Mosque
An Imam who whipped these folk into a killing frenzy
Because that Imam saw the Pastor and his flock cutting into his turf and power base - IWO, his take.
Follow the money/power/resources when violence happens. Because it never happen in a vacuum.

Title should read “Muslim violence...”, this has nothing to do with Christmas.
To: Farmer Dean
Buried way WAY down in this same article is the truth:
The group blamed for the church attacks the radical Muslim sect known as Boko Haram used to be based in Bauchi, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) from the area where the bombs went off. The group is now headquartered in Maiduguri, where the church attacks took place.

Now if Christians replied by killing 3 thousand moslums, a 1000 to one ratio. The moslums might do the math and stop, if not, then another 3000 until they do. Tit for tat don't work. .......................or soon the moslums will apply that matht to US.
