It's another banner day for militant Islam. It seems they didn't like what someone wrote about their religion so they burned the newspaper's office down.
The violence began Wednesday, when the Kaduna office of ThisDay newspaper was torched after the paper published an article questioning Muslim objections to the pageant. The article, published Saturday, suggested the prophet Muhammad would have chosen a wife among the contestants.
Some Muslims are objecting to the Miss World beauty pageant in Nigeria. They are also objecting to freedom of speech. Oh those pesky rights we have in America. And this lead to a little Muslim/Christian confrontation. Which lead to over 100 deaths as I write this depending on which article you believe. And the Christians are no better in this story as they went about burning down mosques. I guess the moral of the story is to learn a little of the Quran before you visit Nigeria:
The rioting spread Friday 225 miles southwest to the capital, Abuja, where the beauty pageant is still planned to take place Dec. 7. Muslim protesters armed with sticks, machetes and daggers burned cars and attacked pedestrians outside the city's plush international hotels after gathering outside the central mosque following afternoon prayers.
Rioters pulled a local journalist off a motorcycle and told him he would be killed unless he could recite verses from Islam's holy book, the Quran. The crowd released him unharmed when they realized he was Muslim.
This is what America should be fighting against.
