Christians strike back. Anti-Muslim riots in Nigeria kill many.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

LAGOS, Nigeria - Christian mobs rampaged through a southern Nigerian city Tuesday, burning mosques and killing several people in an outbreak of anti-Muslim violence that followed deadly protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad over the weekend.

Residents and witnesses in the southern, predominantly Christian city of Onitsha said several Muslims with origins in the north were beaten to death by mobs which also burned two mosques there.

"The mosque at the main market has been burnt and I've counted at least six dead bodies on the streets," Izzy Uzor, an Onitsha resident and businessman, told The Associated Press by telephone. "The whole town is in a frenzy and people are running in all directions."

The violence appeared to be in reprisal for anti-Christian violence Saturday in the mostly Muslim northern city of Maiduguri in which thousands of Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches, killing at least 18 people.

So.. one group of A$$hats have to go and try to out do another group of A$$hats?

Since when has Christianity broken down to an "us v them" mentality?

This is just appalling.

Sometimes it seems as if the world needs either only one religion or none at all...

but then again, in the absence of clear religious demarcation, people find other details to kill each other over...

sunni vs shia, protestant vs catholic, black vs white, communist vs capitalist, coke vs pepsi, blood vs crip,

there really is no such thing as hope for peace, is there?

*sobs*

yes he does my friend, yes he does...

You know, what is it that does that though? Since it is evident that two (or more) very different people CAN coexist peacefully together (even married) despite racial/religious/political differences... At what point does everything blow up? And IS it necessarily so? Is there a limit to the number of people in any given group, before it degenerates into hatred? Is there a hate/love GENE? Does it HAVE to be this way? I demand some hard fukcing answers dude! lol

ah well, ** it.
