Nigerian Christians Burn Corpses |
Although I do not endorse the actions of the Nigerian Christian community, I
most certainly do understand it. There is only so much an oppressed people
can take. Christians around the world will be watching this situation
closely.

Remorse Scant for Attacks on Muslims; Death Toll at Least 42
ONITSHA, Nigeria, Feb. 23 -- Christian mobs stopped their killing and
looting in this Nigerian city Thursday and turned to disposing of the
evidence in the crudest of ways. Men burned the remains of their Muslim
victims in smoldering bonfires on downtown streets, leaving behind charred
legs, skulls and shoulders that minibus taxi drivers swerved to avoid.
As thousands of Muslims struggled to find a way to reach the northern part
of the country or huddled for protection at police stations, Christian
residents in this southeastern city expressed little remorse for their role
in five days of religious violence sparked by anger over the publication of
cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.

In a message sent 'round the world, J Young poured fuel on the fire with
the following:

can take.
Really? Benny the Reluctant does not understand it.

There is a difference between endorsing an action and merely understanding
why a person would re-act in a certain way. His Holiness understands fully,
he just doesn't endorse it. You seem to forget that the pontiff saw
religious hatred first-hand as a child in wartime Germany.
