Gunmen kill 20 at mosque in northern Nigeria
Reuters ^ | 10/14/12

Gunmen opened fire on Muslim worshippers as they were leaving a mosque in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing at least 20 people, a local official said.

The attack happened in a remote village called Dogo Dawa, in Kaduna state, said Abdullahi Muhammad, the traditional ruler and councillor of Birnin Gwari, a local government area next door to the village.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Like much of northern Nigeria, Kaduna is plagued by an insurgency led by radical Islamist sect Boko Haram. They usually attack security forces, government officials or Christians, but have hit Muslim clerics and mosques in the past, especially ones that do not follow their hardline brand of Islam.

The One has a history of condemnng death-cult attacks on death-cultists. Watch for him to condemn this.
He NEVER condemns death-cult attacks on Christians, Jews, or other normal people.

That map reminds me of early world history classes detailing the spread of Islam at the beginning of the movement..spreading up into eastern Europe and across northern Africa, across the Straits of Gibraltar up into Spain.

The big difference now is that the religion of peace has metastasized thru-out the rest of the world.
