Islamic Extremists burned Church cause of Atheist cartoons!
Quote:
The president of Niger says at least 10 people have been killed in two days of violent protests over a French publication's cartoon depicting Prophet Muhammad.
President Mahamadou Issoufou said that five people died after demonstrations in the capital city of Niamey on Saturday. The victims were inside churches and bars that were set ablaze, he said.
The deaths came after at least five people were killed in the town of Zinder on Friday after prayer services there.
The violence erupted after the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo published a new cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad. The issue, published on Wednesday, was the first following a January 7 attack on its headquarters that left 12 dead.
Police fired tear gas at crowds of stone-throwing youths who set fire to at least six churches and looted shops in Niamey on Saturday after authorities banned a meeting called by local Islamic leaders. A police station was attacked and at least two police cars burned.[/b]
I find it amusing - if it wasn't tragic overrall - that they get so enraged about cartoons, whatever they depict. Just brush it off and go about your business, fool.
The French will not be stopped to exercise their priviledge to offend religion neither the Islamic extremists will allow the infidels to insult their prophet. I wonder how many more lives will be lost from this.
