Warning to Nigerian Muslims: No monopoly on violence
Spero News ^ | Tuesday, February 21, 2006 | Most Revd. Peter J. Akinola

Most Revd. Peter J. Akinola (CON, DD.) President, Christian Association of Nigeria issues a statement warning Muslims in Nigeria on violence committed against Christians ...

It is clear the sacrifices of Christians in this country for peaceful co-existence with people of other faiths has been misunderstood to be weakness. A long standing agenda to make Nigeria an Islamic nation is being pursued.

***

May we at this stage remind our Muslim brothers that they do not have the monopoly of violence in this nation. Nigeria belongs to all of us - Christians, Muslims and members of other faiths. No amount of intimidation can change this time-honoured arrangement in this nation. C.A.N. may no longer be able to contain our restive youths should this ugly trend continue.

Best get your guns, you Nigerian Christians: in this case, the pen alone isn't going to do it.

In a stand up fight, muslims always get trounced, that's why they don't fight like men.

Now the only question is how long before the UN chimes in with a condemnation of Christian violence.

Exactly -- they only attack women, children and old men or when your back is turned. Stomp on them and they cower. The problem is that we are too nice and let them grow back -- that's why the Crusades weren't thorough enough, we only tried a defensive tactic to control the Holy Lands and make it safe for pilgrims. What should have happened is that Richard Coeur de Lion should have stormed into Mecca with the Byzantine army and destroyed the soul of the evil cult.

The main problem is that the Muslims who get killed arent usually the ones creating the problem.

The cowards who attack Christians melt back into the crowd and watch as their Muslim brethren take the attacks then they scream about innocent Muslims being killed and crawl from their holes and kill more Christians.

Cowards.

...they scream about innocent Muslims being killed...

If those "innocent" Muslims would quit shielding the terrorists and take action against them maybe they wouldn't be killed. Assuming that they are innocent because they didn't pull the trigger or light the fuse can be a major mistake.
