Nigerian troops attack Islamist mosque, kill 100

Endless conflicts will go on in Africa. Unending strive is present in Nigeria.

These woes are created by weakness in administration and other weakness in governance Nigeria. If governance was more perfect,definitely most of nigeria's woes would have been solved.

Any nation with leaders that give solutions will more likely have less strife.

Obvious some parties in Nigeria feel duped,not satisfied with solutions to nigeria's woes.

Nigeria leaders have the solutions to their woes and making a mess of it.

Endless conflicts go on in Africa.

We can only guess a solution.

live by the sword, die by the sword

Obasi claim that poverty and corruption are the biggest problems in Nigeria, however, it seems that Islam is the actual enemy of the people.

"Islamic sect blamed for days of violence"

Islam - the religion of peace.

At least the Nigerians are dealin with the extremists in the only way possible. If they could solve the corruption problems they might be a functioning country.

seems like the majority of world's religious conflicts have a common denominator - islam. christianity vs islam (europe), judaism vs islam (mid east), buddhism vs islam (southeast asia), hinduism vs islam (south asia), etc.

Don't forget PI...islam against the government.

maglev101 and that is just how they recruit. "The world's religions and governments are all persecuting Islam so we must get up and fight back!" ...explain the DVDs, showing attacks on Muslims.

This is how Mohammed PBUH allowed his followers to fight back in the cause of peace. If you can first show persecution, then your cause must be just, and you can recruit...

The BBC reported that the groups name Boku Haram means eductaion is forbidden. Not sure if that's true but it sounds like a good name for a bunch of backward goons.

Militants seeking to impose Islamic Sharia law

I guess we'll add Nigeria to the list....

guns should be illegal in Nigeria, like they should be illegal in the US, right guys?

Is the term 'Islamist' necessary before 'mosque'?

seems like the majority of world's religious conflicts have a common denominator - islam. christianity vs islam (europe), judaism vs islam (mid east), buddhism vs islam (southeast asia), hinduism vs islam (south asia), etc.

...and don't forget islam vs islam

Superlib "I guess we'll add Nigeria to the list...."

What list?

Sharia law has been in force in the north for a long time - and the christians and islamists seem to have been more or less getting along until now....
