Nigeria has been hit by scores of bombings and shootings attributed to Boko Haram

In ancient times, the Crusades were wars fought during the Middle Ages in the Middle East in which Muslims, Jews, and Christians fought each other under the disguise of religion. The holy war continues in the Middle East today between all three sects over the control of various sacred places throughout the region, especially in Jerusalem.

However, a new holy war has recently fired back up again in Nigeria. Yesterday, the radical Islamic sect Boko Haram carried out another suicide bombing in front of a Christian church in the town of Jos. Two Boko Haram members rammed their vehicle into St. Finbarr's Church. Upon impact, the vehicle detonated. Ten people were killed.

At the same time, Boko Haram carried out a simultaneous attack in Jos at the Church of God In Nigeria in which many more lives were taken. The impact damaged 30 vehicles.

It's actually surprising that a holy war is being carried out in Africa. Black people should never desire to be a Muslim. If you look back in history, then you will see that Mohammed enslaved Black boys and girls throughout his life.

I don't know what got into their warped minds. Islam means peace as the Muslims say or is it the other way around, "WAR?" They always think in "reverse," yah know? rated

I am really sorry that Mr.Adrian Holman has a poor knowledge about Prophet Mohammad"s(Peace be upon him),As His closest and of a very high ranking companion by the name of Bilal Habshi was basically a slave and after that slavery was abolished in Islam.
And I dont have to elaborate about the abductions and using brutal force to trap or catch(like they were wild animals)and import the young men from Africa were even filmed to show the dominence and moral of the wast.
I am not fanatic coz I love Human beings and all the creatures of GOD.We must love each other as I have got pain sensors so do all the creatures.I did not mean to offend Mr.Adrian Holman,If he is offended then I very sincerely apologise from the core of my heart as I cant afford to hurt any anybody.And I very strongly condemn the killing of innocent people going to church who wanted to glorify THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
Thanking You.

I don't have a poor knowledge about Islam. Mohammed was a pedophile.
