Hundreds Slaughtered in Nigeria’s Muslim North Following National Elections (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 8:00 PM
More than 500 Nigerians were killed this week in post-election violence.
Most of the violence occurred in the Muslim north when it emerged that Goodluck Jonathan, a southern Christian – had defeated a Muslim candidate.
Most of the victims were Christians murdered after the Muslim candidate lost the election this month. Governorship elections are scheduled for Tuesday.
The BBC reported:
A Nigerian human rights group says more than 500 people died after presidential elections earlier this month.
The Civil Rights Congress said the violence happened mostly in the northern state of Kaduna and that the number of victims could be even higher.
Rioting broke out when it emerged that Goodluck Jonathan, a southern Christian – had defeated a Muslim candidate from the mostly Islamic north.
Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes to escape the violence.
Mr Jonathan’s presidential rival Muhammadu Buhari has denied instigating the “sad, unfortunate and totally unwarranted” events.
The Civil Rights Congress said the worst hit area was the town of Zonkwa in rural Kaduna where more than 300 people died.
“The updated figure is about 516,” said Shehu Sani, head of the congress.
Correspondents say Nigeria is braced for possible further unrest over governorship elections on Tuesday in most of Nigeria’s 36 states.

The deadly sect, Boko-Haram, on Sunday sent out a statement to the press, warning that they (sect members) will not rest until Nigerian Constitution was set aside and Sharia legal system upheld across the country.
The sect members said no amount of counter-hostility from the security agencies will deter them in their “holy” mission until democracy was set aside and “all the enemies” of their mission were “annihilated across Nigeria”.

If these warmongers want a civil war than so be it. They will have war if they want it (and no need for the Christians to start firing). The Christians had better arm themselves.
If the people of Nigeria had any sense they’d evict the violent ones.

What???
More savage barbaric murders committed by mooselimbs?? How surprising.
forest commented:
Maybe they should partition that country before the degenerates up north destroy the whole thing. It could go the way of Lebanon.
But there’s no way a partition will be allowed to happen. The “international community” would surely oppose it because the oil and wealth are in the south, and the Muslims up north are “entitled” to it.

Time to send in the drones. No, not the airplanes but Obama voter type drones.
Redwine commented:
This is more deadly than anything going on in Libya, but it’s not anything that the dangerous and amoral Samantha Power/Hussein Obama/Soros cabal would want to dirty their hands with by invoking their obscene “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine.

Mr. President, How about saving some Christians for a change?
BurmaShave commented:
Do Muslims have a word for “SHAME”?
If so, I hope it is not synonymous with “blood lust.”
Iconoclast commented:
Ah, yes, ‘The Religion of Peace’ ® proving the validity of the appellation.
It is long past time for modern nations to demonstrate the true meaning of ‘jihad’ to these savages. The few who survive may be able to evolve into functional humans with behavioral patterns more advanced than early Stone Age barbarism.

So the religion of peace is at it again. Surprise, Surprise.

These Christians need to arm themselves. They have a God-given right to self-defense.

Obama, Power, Hillary, McCain, Lindsey, what say you? UN forces, NATO, US air strikes, ground troops? Speak oh most knowledgeable ones.

It should be illegal to run against a Muslim as this might incite violence.
vagabond trader commented:
Nothing to worry about,just another couple of radicals who hijacked a peaceful “religion.”
