More than 500 killed as Nigeria again erupts in religious fighting
America isn't the only place this week where people who've handed themselves over to evil claimed the lives of countless others. Violence between Christians and Muslims around Jos, Nigeria, erupted again late this week—reportedly in response to the terrorist attacks in the U.S. Fighting originally broke out last Friday when false reports circulated that Muslims had burned down a local church. The military was able to restore some semblance of order by Monday, but wasn't able to maintain the peace. Reuters quotes one resident saying, "Some (Muslim) people have been jubilating because of what happened in the U.S., and I believe that must have encouraged them." Tens of thousands of residents reportedly fled the area for their lives.

Tensions between Christians and Muslims have of course been high in Nigeria ever since states began implementing Islamic Shari'ah law. This week, an Islamic court handed down the country's first death sentence under the law. A 35-year-old man from the northwest state of Kebbi will be stoned for sodomizing a 7-year-old boy.
