Witnesses have stated that at least ten people have died in fighting between Christians and Muslims in the northern Nigerian city of Jos. The violence erupted early Sunday morning and there were churches and buildings burnt to the ground. Witnesses state that they saw at least 10 dead bodies laying on the streets all killed from bloodshot wounds. The police refuse to say how many were killed and injured. Previously in 2008 there was an incident leaving over 300 people killed on a religious issue.
In both the Bible and the Qur'an it says you should not kill and I guess the people fighting didn't really get this message. I think it's dumb that people are dying because they have different religious views that someone else. This is plain sad and it’s a good thing that the police got there when they did or there could have been a lot more deaths.

I agree with you Sean, innocent people are dying due to the fact that some people have different religious views. Everyone should be respected for following their relegions and these kind of events should not be occuring. Good Job!
