I don’t have much to comment on here. Just to say we hear often about religious persecution of Christians around the globe from Christian news sites. We don’t usually hear about Christians murdering people of other faiths, even though it happens. So, just to share: http://news.yahoo.com/21-dead-religious-rioting-central-nigeria-115350915.html
