What
if this had been the other way around? What if Muslims were the ones
being targeted, maimed and killed by non-Muslims? I doubt very much the
Umma would sit back and say nothing against it. But this is Islam in
it’s true nature. The continuing killing sprees by the jihadists are
just what the prophet of Islam ordered in the name of Allah and Muslims
accept this as, “The Religion of Peace.”

JOS, Nigeria July 8 (Xinhua)
— At least 90 people had been killed
during attacks on villages in Gashik District of Barkinladi Local
government area of central north Nigeria’s Plateau State by Sunday
afternoon, security sources and Xinhua reporters on ground said.
In a brief text message to Xinhua, the security sources said 50 burnt
bodies were uncovered in the early hours of Sunday in a COCIN church in
Matsai village.
Xinhua’s reporters in the restive city of Jos said 20 persons were
killed Sunday afternoon at the mass burial site of victims on Saturday
attack, including a serving Senator, Gyang Dantong, representing Plateau
north and the majority leader of the State House of Assembly, Gyang
Fulani.
Before he was killed on Sunday, the late Fulani told Xinhua on
Saturday that at least 20 people were killed on Friday night in
Barkinladi by yet to be identified gunmen, who invaded nine villages of
the locality.
“Dantong, Fulani and other unidentified officials were all murdered
today during a mass burial for scores of people killed by unknown
gunmen,” the security source said.
Dan Manjan, a legislative aide to the senator, who escaped the attack
said scores of injured victims are still receiving treatment in
hospitals across the state.
A Xinhua reporter said the Berom people leaving in Jos have taken over major roads in the state.
Plateau State is situated in Nigeria’s middle belt where the
Muslim-dominated north and the Christian-majority south meet. It has
seen years of ethnic tensions and is a major potential flashpoint ahead
of the April presidential elections.
The state capital Jos was plunged in a pool of blood on March 7,
2010, when members of local Muslim and Christian communities fought each
other in revenge for previous killings.
The state has recently witnessed some bomb blasts and constant rifts
between Berom and Fulani herdsmen, with many, especially women and
children, murdered in cold blood in the state.
