The violence took place in Gwada, where three churches were burnt and 26 worship pers injured as the fanatics stormed the churches.
The fanatics were apparently angered by the celebration during which Christian y ouths from all churches marched round the town, drumming and dancing in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the capital city of Minna, only the determination of Christian youths prevent ed the Niger Baptist Church targeted by the fanatics from being razed, even though the attackers damaged vehicles and inflicted injuries on many worshippers.
Three vehicles were damaged in the premises of the church.
The police have sent reinforcements to the areas affected, but said no one was killed in the attacks.
Police spokesman Richard Oguche said 88 Muslim fanatics were arrested in Gwada and 20 in Minna.
As in other predominantly-Muslim states in Northern Nigeria, religious and sectarian violence are common and have been caused the deaths of thousands since Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999.
> Hello,
We present our site
http://www.islam-documents.org
(which is the improvment of the other islam-documents.com, based in Tunisia).
There is thousands of texts (around 15 000) about the origins of islam, with a critical, humanist, and scientist view (and even ironical). It is now the bigger “sourcebook” on that subject, with often unpublished documents: Muhammad biographies (SIRA), the main books of traditions (HADITH) , muslim chronicles (TABARI…), companions biographies (TABAQAT), quranic verses, quranic commentaries (TAFSIR).
A new version is now available, improved and corrected: around 3500 pages. We are working for a new version published every year.
All is in french. so sorry. but you need to read it to understand muslim thinking and acts.
Bye. Take care.

PS: just dare to do the same in english!!!
