From Watcher:
Nigeria (MNN) ― There has been yet another attack against Nigerian Christian: this time in Kano state, north of Jos where January and March violence took place. Two churches and a pastor's home were destroyed.
Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs, USA said, "In this most recent event, which happened in May, we have seen young Muslims--reportedly as many as 100 of them--coming onto church property, attacking the people who were there, and burning down the buildings."
Fortunately, no one was killed. However, because of the number of deaths early this year, this attack mostly went under the radar. The violence that does get reported is rarely referred to as "religious persecution."
"Typically, when we hear reports of the violence in Nigeria, we don't hear the words 'Christian persecution.' What we typically hear is that great phrase 'sectarian violence,'" Nettleton said.

I feel the need to bring up, yet again,
Obama's claim at Cairo that "throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."

Mohammedan youth! It's comforting to know that it was just 'youths'. I'll bet for sure the religious leadership didn't have a clue that those 'youths' might do something like that. Ya think?
It is Friday, which means these "youth" had just come out of Friday prayers.
