Religion of Peace Update: The BBC reports on an interview with Isioma Daniel, the Nigerian fashion reporter who was the subject of a fatwa after she wrote that Mohammed might have wanted to marry one of the Miss World contestants. Her article in a local newspaper was the excuse for rioting by Muslims in which 200 people, mainly Christians, were murdered. Daniel fled Nigeria and is now living in an undisclosed country. She cannot afford security and says she may have to spend the rest of her life in hiding. “I have to have plans for the future,” Daniel says in the interview. “I’m only 21.”
