Nigeria Christians hit by fresh Islamist attacks

Nigeria has been hit by a fresh wave of violence apparently targeting the country's Christian communities.

At least 17 people were killed in Mubi in Adamawa state as gunmen opened fire in a town hall where members of the Christian Igbo group were meeting.

There were also reports of a deadly attack in Adamawa's capital, Yola.

The Islamist Boko Haram group said it had carried out the attack in Mubi and another in Gombe on Thursday night in which at least six people died.

The group has staged numerous attacks in northern and central areas in recent months - on Christmas Day it attacked a church near the capital, Abuja, killing dozens of people.

Well I suppose we should be greatful that if they're killing each other they're not killing us.

Black Muslim violence on non-Muslim Blacks has probably been going on for at least a thousand years. It's how Islam spreads and fund's it's self, through conquest and until recently slavery.

Pretty much .

I feel the need to keep up on these things, but there's just not much to say. Sometimes it's just too sad for a wry comment and I don't have much in the way of insightful observations...

Will do. Was it in the right place or would it have been better in religion? Does religion trump current events if the news is about religion?

It would be current affrairs I'd guess but the staff are good at relocating it so don't worry. They very rarely set the ghastly "Hastings" upon members without due reason.

I've said too much.

A houshold God. Would it be monotheistic or part of a pantheon?
