Attack on Nigerian Christian Village Leaves 8 Dead, Church Burned
Eight people in Nigeria were killed early Saturday when Muslim Fulani herdsmen launched an overnight attack on a Christian village near the city of Jos, officials reported.
Among those killed was the wife of a pastor, his two children and a grandson.
Seven houses and a church were also burned during the attack in Maza, a village north of Jos, between 1:30 am and 5:00 am.
This would be a good writing to quote from the thread on "Christians unfairly targeted for hate crime prosecutions"
'It has been pointed out that the attitude of all Western governments toward Islam is one of the most difficult and delicate problems of colonial politics. When the matter was discussed at the Edinburgh Missionary Conference (1910), the following resolution, characterized by great timidity, was passed "It is not singular that, in the effort to give to Mohammedanism the outward respect due to it in a region peopled by its adherents, the British officials should sometimes 'lean over backward.' But the Commission is of the opinion that in Egypt, the Sudan and Northern Nigeria the restrictions deliberately laid upon Christian mission work, the deference paid to Islam are excessive, and that a respectful remonstrance should be made to the British Government on the subject."1' from, The Law of Apostasy--The Dawn of a New Era
