Nigeria: Muslims Attack Christian Village, 300 Hacked to Death Including Women and Children With Machetes

Christians are always on the receiving end of these massacres, whether it be in Nigeria, Iraq, southern Philippines, Egypt etc. But don't worry, Islam is totally a "religion" of peace...

(Reuters) - Nigeria's acting president Sunday ordered the security forces to hunt down those behind clashes involving Muslim herders and Christian villagers in which more than 300 people may have been killed.

Villagers in Dogo Nahawa, just south of the state capital Jos, said Hausa-Fulani herders from surrounding hills attacked at about 3 a.m. (10 p.m. EST), shooting into the air before cutting those who came out of their homes with machetes.

A Red Cross official said at least two other nearby communities were also targeted, in an area close to where sectarian clashes killed hundreds of people in January, but that it was too early to give an overall death toll.

A Reuters witness counted more than 120 bodies-- most lying in Dogo Nahawa, others taken to mortuaries in Jos -- but Plateau State Commissioner for Information Gregory Yenlong said more than 300 people, including women and children, had died.

Heard it on the radio but of course they didn't say it was Muslims that were the killers. It's a disgrace.

Islam reminds me of the film Mars Attacks where the Martians keep saying we come in peace as they kill and destroy.

If it were not for the fact that the film was made in 1996 I would have thought it was a reference to Muslims.

That's a great comparison, Ray. Perfect.

Oh brilliant! I think you've come up with the ultimate Mooslim catchphrase:

"We come in peace," bang, bang, kaboom.

Thank you Ray! So it's agreed!
