MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- A Muslim cleric who embraced nonviolence and spoke out against the sectarian violence plaguing northeast Nigeria died Sunday after suffering gunshot wounds in an apparent attack by a radical sect, witnesses said.
Imam Ibrahim Ahmed Abdullahi died in the shade of his Maiduguri mosque after gunmen from the Boko Haram sect apparently jumped out of a sport utility vehicle and opened fire, witnesses told The Associated Press. Abdullahi suffered five gunshot wounds and died as the gunmen apparently escaped into the restive city.

I guess this answers the age-old question, “where is the Muslim Gandhi?”

Which generally carries a death sentence.
Freepers who lack the intellect to comprehend this are pretty vocal on Free Republic. They have grand plans to have us intervene when they are busy killing each other with goofy ideas that this can be done without making them hate us more.

If Nigeria goes nuts like Egypt and Libya, what side is Obama going to support? The government or the community-riot organizers and their minions?

I want Khadafy dead so I want a death sentence to be carried out upon him. I want the muslims to their fellow muslim Khadafy. You don't want the USA to help muslims kill other muslims because you are afraid that will make muslims “hate us.” I don't care how much they hate us.
