Nigeria - Violent Clashes Between Christians and Muslims

17

Posted on : 23-01-2010 | By : admin

A fringe of an armed Islamic group attacked and set on fire the Christian area.

Nigeria is split into two main sides: Muslims dominate the north and in certain towns the Sharia is the valid legislation. In the Southside there are Christians.

Again fundamentalist with usual brutality has assaulted Christian side claiming women should wear Islamic head coverings.

This is just the ultimate fact of a series of actions against the Christian community without any word from the Europe, USA and UN.

Karl Popper wrote that history is not a narration of power, written by a God who does not respect human freedom and has already scripted the ending.

Marxist messianic expectations collapsed and today the Islamic world believes to be the bearer of the future of the world and new society is forecasted in the fundamentalist view similar to previous failed utopias.

Fight or die for a holy war brings happiness promised by God or perhaps by “someone else”.

The wars against civilians are the product of the Illuminism and the First World War has opened the Pandora’s box of violence and hatred.

Died the cold war, the history is opening a new chapter of conflict scattered throughout the world. In an earth, which claims peace and pacifism, war has never been so present and so real. Africa is the great forgotten prey to fundamentalism and illness, first victim of AIDS, first victim of a desire for freedom that led to larger ideological and religious slavery.

We live in a constant intimidation; a subtle threat that lurks beneath the carpet of the East becomes clear more and more.

Death in the name of Allah, whose name used to justify an old hate is the new millennium revenge.

Just for clarity, the “unfounded fear” to which I referred relates only to Muslims in America, not elsewhere where violent Islam is indeed worthy of fear.

And the fear is indeed racially specific — people fear American Muslims that look like Arabs. I don't think anybody is worried about suicide bombers coming from the black American Muslims, Malaysian American Muslims, Somali American Muslims (big group of them in my home town) or, as you point out, Bosnian American Muslims.

> Are they? There is a lot of silent agression between different ideological groups. Seriously. Aggression has always existed between sects of a different religion or other ideologically opposed groups. >Hahaha, what? Okay, you are a troll. Not at all. Refer to the unparalleled slaughters and genocides of the atheists communists in the 20th century. The secular West has slaughtered over a million people in the last few years alone through the genocidal invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. >Yes, on average, they are. I don’t think this is the case. >I see and hear it every day. These things happen because of religion. I highly doubt this. That’s all there is to be said. If their religion wouldn’t persists and they got a scientifically and objective education, this wouldn’t happen. That is hilarious considering Muslims invented the modern Scientific method. >Wow, you are so incredibly stupid, it hurts. Well, as you are a troll, I can’t argue with you, so have fun in your very own delusional, imaginary world. How is it stupid? This is the essence of existential nihilism. There can be no objective moral standard in a careless and indifferent universe. All moral and legal systems would be entirely subjective, arbitrary and irrational human constructs.

Can any of the “investigative journos” of this blog or blog comments find out the contents of the “rabble rousing” speech that the mullah Khan gave that led to communal clashes? If V Gandhi's speech contents can be found and debated, this too can be no?

Thanks.

Barbara,I think that these pictures on your blog are really cruel.It is a controversial issue if violent movies and computer games are causing violent or aggressive behavior by children,but you are right that violent programs should be limited,especially during the day time,when a lot of children have access to television. I personally think that those video games and violent programs can have a harmful effect on children's psyche.

It translates as "I love you infinitely, oh my heart"! Although apparently The Clash had the lyrics translated word for word, so there is some confusion!

But stick with that mate, its a sure hit!

yes that's i found also, they create some fictive stories. seemed they hired to do that.

Christians Please Watch,Bible Witnesses Muhammad Clearly -

1. They took him off the psychotropic drugs, leading to increased delusions (because he was crazy).They gave him asprin (he does suffer from migraines). In addition, they know all about the conspiracy theories (they’re his psychs and have observed him for 2 years) and the whole point is pushing that to the end.

My dad was just bragging on u today and how great u did at the Emmys. He would just fast forward to your parts… Good job!

There's not always any friction between them. Depends on the type of person the employee is, maybe they don't like the way their employer acts towards them.

I have had problems with employers, sometimes they can be very hypocritical so I have argued my case with them and in some circumstances I've walked out.

I like to be able to get on with work without people breathing down my neck and telling me I have to do something a certain way. If my way works and is quicker for me then I should be able to do that as I can then get it done and start on the next thing.

Are you more a rebel or do you take the crap and do what you're told? Just wondering why you posted this question. I am a bit of a rebel, in some ways it's fun.

No, but I think google would be a much better place to find this than Y! Answers. I know a lot of websites on Nigeria itself, but none of them directly adress the roles of women. My main source of information on that subject are actual people from nigeria.
