More on Nigeria: The BBC

More on Nigeria: The BBC is reporting that rioting, purportedly linked to the Miss World pageant to be held in that country, has spread to the capital city of Abuja. The rioting began when Muslim youths emerged from Friday prayers at their mosques in Abuja and, “armed with sticks, daggers and knives, set fire to vehicles and attacked anyone they suspected of being Christian.” Apparently they were inspired by Islam’s peaceful message.
