The rumour is that someone insulted their prophet

So churches are burned in Nigeria. This shows what Islam is like in Nigeria.

Since Christianity and other religions don't support Islams view of Mohammed they are always going to be rioting, burning, destroying, killing and insulting the home secretary - unless they grow up and learn to accept other people have different views.

Now there is violence against Muslims in Christian areas to - and that is to the shame of Christianity. ( I'd like to hear the reverse said by Muslims about attacks on Christian places of worship - in Northern Nigeria or Bradford ).

As Jesus said - "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".

That'll stop a lot of self righteous violence IMHO.

Update:

Melanie Philips recent post - although on a tangental - subject is worth reading in this context here.

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
