Subject: RE: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, Woolwich (London)
The Woolwich killers were Nigerian.
Muslims are not being murdered in Nigeria, they are doing the murdering.

"Islamic fighters have killed scores in multiple attacks on Christian homes and churches. There have been calls for revenge, but also for forgiveness.
Madalla Christmas Massacre
"It was a beautiful day. We came to church to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ," worshipper Uche Bonaventure said.
"People started coming as early as six o'clock in the morning. It was going to be a joyous occasion," recalled Father Issac Achi, at St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Madellah
But it never turned out that way.
"It was five or ten minutes after the first service and suddenly this boom!" Bonaventure remembered.
A suicide bomber in a vehicle packed with explosives drove up a busy street and stopped in front of the church. Bonaventure and his 17-month-old son had just walked out the church's front doors when the bomb exploded.
"The explosion threw me on this side and my son was hurled across the other side. Around me I could see bodies on fire," he told CBN News.
The radical Muslim group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for this attack and several other attacks in various parts of Nigeria last Christmas Day.
The group's goal is to turn Africa's most populous nation into an Islamic country ruled by Sharia law.
In January alone, Boko Haram struck 21 times, killing more than 250 people.
Almost 1,000 have died in recent months in multiple terror attacks around the country.
Two hundred miles north of St. Theresa's church Ester Garba remembers her dedicated husband who was killed in a bomb attack.
"So many people loved my husband. He loved to share the gospel with others," she said.
Isaac Kure's father was killed in the same attack.
"They would not let me see my father's body. He was beyond recognition," he said.
Margaret Frames' husband was also one of the victims of an attack by the radical Islamic group.
"He was shot in the mouth, in the elbow, and in the back. I have not slept very well since that day," she told CBN News.
On Jan. 20, 26 days after the Christmas Day massacre, Boko Haram killed 185 people in a string of coordinated attacks in Kano.
A Boko Haram spokesman has declared war on Nigeria's government, the security services, and the country's Christians.
"I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams," the spokesman said in a video released online.
