Nigeria and Religious Intolerance
Author: The Radical Philosopher

What has a prophet Mohammed's cartoon in a far away Land got to do for God's sake with our already politically torn apart Nigeria?Haven't we already lost enough innocent souls from politically motivated crisis?Can somebody out there tell me how many more souls will have to go before we realise the foolishness of our actions?For God's sake enough of this barbaric,archaic,redundant,outdated and savage practice.Why do we choose to always engage ourselves in nonsense and selfish crisis?Can maiming,killings and the destruction of innocent citizen's hard earned properties solve our problems?Please let's live like human beings and not like animals for that is the reason why God endowed us with so many qualities that differentiates us from animal,but we have shamelessly thrown all these qualities into the gutter and have chosen to be animals.Just have a flashback:we all united in mourning our brothers and sisters that lost their lives during the plane crashes in Lisa and portharcourt but now we have taken arms against each other.Can we ever be one as we claim to be?
