Actually it has been on record that, Plateau state has total hatrate for the Muslims, because no matter where you come from as long as you are a muslim you have no place in plateau state. We that are indegins can testify to that. As an indigen you can only find appointment either in Fedral, Private or else you can remain redondant. I can tell you non indigens that are chritians find employment with state government and are working peacufully. my comments is on the issue of Chritians ganging up against the Muslims in Jos North.

The governor mof the state is a christian and while the crisis started and few lives were lost, the merciless and not a good christian asked the electoral commission to announced a rigged result, what do think he intended; peace? or voilence? and yet we say muslim gangs. We are lured in to the problem of lacking seeing the truth once the agressor is from our sect ,ethnic, tribe ,religion. It is evident that Nigeria has the highest rigged elections and conflicts. So we help them by telling the truth to the aggressors.

JC, who is probably on the Christian right, has presumably been riled up by reports of Buddhist attacks on churches in Sri Lanka...

Sinhalese are Buddhists, I grant you, but on the basis of my (deeply sketchy) knowledge of the conflict, isn't their problem less extremism (in the civil unrest sense) and more a government that thinks a military solution can work, in defiance of international consensus and evidence (a la Uganda vs. LRA)?

I doubt it. Look a little closer in the story with your details. Where in the world do you see such behavior except from Muslims and Buddist extremests. Christain Gangs? I doubt it.
