At last! The moratorium on religious debate has been lifted.
More murders
YELWA, Nigeria - Militants from a predominantly Christian tribe killed at least 500 people in two attacks on a Muslim town in central Nigeria, a senior Red Cross official said Thursday.
An exact toll from the raids Sunday and Tuesday was unavailable, but Red Cross workers who interviewed witnesses and families of victims “estimate 500 to 600 dead,” said Umar Abdu Mairga, head of the Nigerian Red Cross team visiting the mostly Muslim town of Yelwa after the assaults by the Tarok tribe.
Thousands of people fled the fighting, and at least 158 people were wounded. About 100 people also were missing, many of them women and children allegedly abducted, Mairga added.
Not a good day for Christianity.
