So much for religious tolerance and understanding.
This is from Nigeria
Muslim fundamentalists in the northern states of Plateau and Nasarawa recently killed eight pastors and 1,500 believers, while destroying 173 churches. The Muslim-Christian violence last month also displaced 25,000 people, Compass Direct reported. Christian leaders condemned the attacks, warning that the government's inability to address the violence could turn the country into "a theater for religious war." The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) asked, "How can anyone explain the reason for invading a church where women, children and men were worshiping, asking them to surrender and lie face down and then proceed to machete and axe them to death in their house of worship?" CAN officials noted that Christians in the African nation have never initiated violence against Muslims, and Nigerian officials have lukewarm attitudes toward the plight of believers, Compass reported.
